Procol Harum - The Blink of an Eye

[EliuszHadrian]

Science flies you to the moon. Religion into skyscrapers!

[lostbuffalo]

Muslims worship a rock ensconced in mecca.The great god of Mecca was Hubal, God of the moon. A Moabite fetish. He was a man-like statue whose body was made of red of red agate which looks like flesh. Hubal is Arabic for the Hebrew Ha Baal, "the Baal." Allah was used in pre-Islamic times for any pagan deity. Muhammad transforming Allah from a pagan deity into the sole universal God. Arabic Paganism goes all the way back to the worship of King Nimrod the first man worshiped in place of Yahweh.

[lostbuffalo]

@lostbuffalo Abraham worshiped the creator. Israelites do not depict an image of the creator nor do they believe the creator is housed within an idol or artifact. If in fact modern Muslims do worship "the creator and omnipresent father of all things", that is not the god of Mecca. Regardless, the God of the Muslims never created of himself an only begotten son to live as a human, become our brother, bear unto death the burden of our shortcomings to be seated at the right hand of the father.

[lostbuffalo]

@lostbuffalo Every religion has some truth because they are created by people and every person can commune with God. Religion is government...old obsolete government of a by gone era from a time before all people were Lucid. Before the advent of Americanism, Government was just a godless religion one step from church. (rule of a sovereign one or few-monarchy, parlimentary) or no religion at all (democracy-rule of the majority,parlimentary)

Foundational Americanism is anarchy under justice

[Sergio02777]

Today my tiers flow on my face, when I remembered about it....

[BigAndTall666]

Religion is evil, better to believe in people!

[eakeeboi]

God Bless you Procol Harum!..........

[hocuspocusfocusable]

Religion's intent, is about control, not bringing anyone together. It has proven to be one of the most divisive social elements know to Mankind (such an oxymoron-that and Human Nature)....

[foamulator]

Spam all "TRUTHERS" on sight. They are psychotic morons.

[angie4josh]

Love Procol but...profiteering much?

[kronlof2]

Thank you Gary,.............

[ffchatter]

in islam they say beware of unbelievers.for centuries they thought it meant the jews and christians.it actually means beware of atheists.in the 20th century we have had hitler,stalin,fascism,communis­m and marxism.this is what the koran warns against.

[Libemp]

@ffchatter I'm an atheist and have no intention of killing anyone... I respect every religion...but I'm convinced that there's no god...

BTW, Hitler was no atheist. He was a roman catholic... He always said so...

Stalin was an atheist ... you got that right.

My best friend is a muslim who is creationist whereas I'm an atheist and darwinist. We do argue once in a while but our friendship is stronger than that!

[heyz29]

Beautiful song,we all we take away something different from this terrible event, so many lost and so many hurt.We all changed that day.I think we all must have needed to learn something.Have we?Peace.

[jack102248]

Watch This Video. It speaks for itself. I doubt Obama understands what he said when he said it isnt Islam we are at war with, because we are at war with people who use Islam and Christian beliefs as license to killand war as a profitable end to our economic difficulties. But aside from all the political bullshit its a nice piece and a fitting memorial to 9/11. Have at me if you will but i believe what I believe.

[Christopher41791]

9/11 was a inside job

We must bring those criminally responsible for these terrible act's and find Resolve for not just the victim's, but for the Families members ; that lost so much.

It's very clear the Bilderberg Group had planned years, before committing to the destruction of the various structures and even made "Movies", giving us signs within them and I unable to detect them, unless you know what your really looking at in these movies.

The our Government is controlled by evil people

[Ninety6Inches]

@Christopher41791 STFU!

[foamulator]

Now the destroyers want to build a mosque there. I dont know my country anymore.

Of one thing I am certain:  Cultural relativism is a total lie.

[angie4josh]

@foamulator Thank you.

[grgoldner]

Sorry but mostly everyone has forgotten.

[53alfy]

troppo bella!!!!!!!!

[pompousPauper]

no more living on easy street. indeed

[rj2046]

Touching and timely song. Thanks

[mommyimadeapoopy]

if its from 2003,why does it sound like it's from 1983? can you say "out of touch"?

[NYcgrguy]

Today on 9/11/09 let's remember the valiant ones who ran into the buildings not because it was their job but because they were willing to save others. Let us remember our armned services personnel especially the spec ops who are meteing out God's justice on the evil one. See that light burning it west Bin Laden? Its the light of retribution and it will burn you..long live the brave death to tyrants and terrorists!

[LIEFxVOGELTJE]

We will never forget

[SFCBenny57]

I'm in Afghanistan because of what happened 8 yrs ago when sick minds attacked us all. Arabs attacked Irael 1st, not the other way around. The Arabs brought that whole mess on themselves by thinking they should be able to attack Israel with impunity decades ago. Ignorant Muslim extremists should all just go die, nutjobs.

[Nacho66]

This is Procol Harum?

Sorry, nice sentiment, but this sounds like some crappy Bruce Hornsby from the

'80's.

Yikes.

[blkmanbat]

Ya i hear what you mean. this is not the procol of back in the day. it's the "gary brooker band" if you ask me but he's been around so long he has the right to use the name. not the greatest song but still sad to see the video. nice to see a tribute from him though.

[SFCBenny57]

I agree but Keith Reid lives in NYC as he did then and it wasn't about anything other than what it was, no need to have it be anything else. For PH a most forgiveable sin at the worst.

[spacepatrolman]

@Nacho66 Bruce hornsby sounds like procol harum sometimes I dont know if gary brooker was an influence on him maybe its just they both play piano and bruces voice sounds like hiws was this song writen about WTC 911 its hard to tell with procol harum they have so many metaphors in their lyrics

[nairloira]

Mesmo no dia a dia, não dá pra esquecer tanta maldade.

[plattform5163]

Thanks for sharing a great video!

[CountFunkenstein]

War, violence and hatred kills, and loves the result when it's successful, crediting it's cult influence for its success. There's still way too many good people on this planet to let that negative influence take over. Thank God that there's more good people than bad. Governments fight wars, not the innocent people that live within and fight their battles for them.

[davidphillips241]

gd arabs..nuke 'em till they glow so we can shoot them in the dark

[fishersofmenvideo]

Google "thermite". Then you will know what truly caused the towers to fall....

[mobyboy]

evilness like that can come only from muslems

[kw07kw]

Muslims, Christians, and Jews actually share the same religious base and consider each other "brother" religions; so if you're Christian, Muslims are your brothers & sisters.

Every religion has extremists and misguided factions or individuals - the KKK & some polygamy groups claim to be Christian; but we know they're just small extreme groups, right? Same with Muslim terorists; Muslims don't condone what they do, they're like our KKK for example.

[mobyboy]

and still , you dont see extreme jewish people blow airplane in the air , or extreme christians burning flags and hanging people

so i can you explain that?

[kw07kw]

Yeah we do, we see "christians" burning crosses and dragging people behind their trucks (like hanging, but sideways and more drawn out and torturous).

[OlGreyWolf58]

You see Zionist Israel threat the people in Gaza Like animals. You see American cops Tazing people for no real reason. And what about Otis? Dude. Get facts. Unplug from the TV. Until then best to be quiet.

[SFCBenny57]

If Arabs would have left Israel alone back in the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's and beyond and not manipulated the Palestinians into violence, remember the PLO killing unarmed athletes in 1972, they would never have had what they have now. They brought the whole thing on themselves, they can't handle it and want to blame everyone else.

[Nacho66]

I don't disagree with you, but imagine having your home bulldozed by expanding Israeli settlements.

I don't think you would be able to get past losing your home hatred wise. Politics would be a very distant runner-up.

[OlGreyWolf58]

You need to read up on history. Zionist Israel keeps taking and taking. Just like they are today. How would you like it if it were you? Have a bumper sticker on my car that you need to think about. It says "DARE To Think For Yourself"

[SFCBenny57]

Ah history, huh. hmmm lets see, 6,000,000 jews systematically murdered in Europe for want of a homeland they could defend themselves on. how about the arab states around them attacking them after they declared their nationhood, again in 1967, the Yom Kippor war, terror attacks in their cities by suicide idiots, the 1972 Olympics.

[lokumsbraet]

Dear SFCBenny

History yes. Why should innocent Palestinian peasants lose their homeland, because of antisemitism in Europe. Why didn't the Jews go to i.e. USA ? I tell you why. The USA wouldn't allow them in - leaving them to perish in the Nazi deathcamps. Anyway...I can't see, why belonging to a particular religion give you the right to a country of your own. But maybe we can have Florida evacuated and reserved for a Jewish state. There are 49 other states the people of Florida can go to :-)

[foamulator]

@kw07kw There is only one problem with your little fairytale. it is liberal nonsense. The KKK no longer exists, for all practical purposes, and muslims murder more people around the world, EVERY MONTH, than the KKK did in 20 years.

Also, these "extreme" muslims you speak of are the ones who FOLLOW the Qur'an literally, and it is MUCH MUCH more than a "few troublemakers" It is in the MILLIONS. You are spouting cultural relativist bullshit. Islam is evil .

[deepknotch]

it would have cost to much money to remove all that asbestoes

[bigkkm]

You need help for your delusions.

Please seek it as soon as possible.

[flamingredhairedone]

I'm thinking more Randy Newman than Eric Clapton.

[clamdraggin]

The world changed in a moment...so sad

[shanklybg]

does this sound very eric-claptonish only to me?

[ivikick]

i'm about to reach US within a month. first thing i'll honor those people who left because of something i really can't understand.

even if i'm sure they're guilty, i'm not interested in politics... this is not my business.

[kokoro86]

I will never forget so long as I live wathing TV coverage after getting a call from my mother saying a plane hit. I turned on the TV just in time to see the second hit live.

Then seeing coverage of ppl jumping out of the building from so many stories up just to escape the horrible burning.

It was like it was raining people.

[Psico5]

nice guy?

hahaha

nice guy...

he send soldiers to kill people and his family have economic relationships with osama vin ladden family...

[deepknotch]

how do you know he sent them,and not the council of 13.

[Grimblix]

I used to think Bush was the big bad wolf too, but think of this: when he heard of that 2nd plane hitting wtc, he didn't seem shocked, but he DID seem afraid, as though he knew and couldn't do a damn thing about it. Notice he kept reading to those kids for about 15 min after he found out? It's like someone told him "babysit those kids and keep your nose out of this". Search youtube / google for Javier Solanna. STOP NWO!

[frepanciu]

La follia dell'uomo non è iniziata quel giorno e non è finita quel giorno...La storia sembra non ci insegni nulla si continua ad uccidere nel silenzio dei media in nome di un Dio che non sembra accomunare ma dividere questi uomini blasfemi. Non è pensabile che nel 2000 ci siano ancora persone che uccidono in nome di Dio. Dio non ha mai predicato la morte ma la fratellanza, l'uguaglianza, la misericordia la pace fra gli uomini, tutti gli uomini.

[neloandrade]

e triste que ....

[reivaj077]

,..a tragic chapter, a massive change in the world's worldview, Seven came down In the blink of an eye transforming perceptions and mindsets askew is it unsound to wonder, to think to ask why?

[clamdraggin]

The pain had started to fade..this brings it back. It its impossible to plumb the depth of

evil and hatred that was acted out that day.

SO painful.But the goodness and love that

showed itself in the aftermath.

THAT is what I will try to focus on.

[imperative1]

Shame that....

[christme85]

that day made me realise how much i love my country

[christme85]

that day made me realise how much i love my country

[christme85]

each time i see these fucking images i want to cry ...fuck terrorism$

[Psico5]

Bush is terrorism too

thanks to make a shit the world

[deepknotch]

get the fukgc out heredouchebag

[Psico5]

hahaha

ignorant

[deepknotch]

theres so many players in the game to single out one man is ignorant,go hide under a rock

[Psico5]

i dont need hide... i say the truth... killing people only por oil is terrorism

[fireman746]

He's not the one who flew the planes in the Twin Towers. We should have told the Pakistan and Saudi Arabia they had 30 days to turn over the Taliban and Bin Ladin or we would level Mecca and return the favor. Harry Truman did it with Japan, we should have did it after 9/11. Maybe you could go warn all of them before we push the button?

[PachaLightwarrior]

we never forget :(((

[SFCBenny57]

Questioning the line about nobody knowing why is foolish. The people who were there, the victims, their families and friends certainly had no idea why this crime was occuring. They were all just trying to live their lives on a day that up until then was as typical as any other.

[arslp]

fatuesque,

you seriously need a great deal of help. To be so smarth-mouthed (and incorrectly so) about such a terrible act of agression on innocent people is probably best done on a computer keyboard. Iraqi women danced in their streets - unbelievable. Living with your cowardly self is more punishment than anyone else could wish on you. Though anonymous here, you still know when you look in the mirror how cowardly you are as you would never make such a statement aloud.

[sommerwetter]

the song is very good, but i miss the typical procol harum sound. i prefer the old songs, not because this song is bad, just because it isn't typical for procol harum.

[termikesmike]

thought we were livin' on easy street...

out of the Blue, in the blink of an eye

((almost 12k views and only 25 ratings,

i don't get it...Brooker's voice here is

amazing in subtlety and transcends the 'topical'.

In today's 'top 40' ,who can 'perform' outside their own 'ego' ?

[ZIPPTPH77]

Brooker still has it, ty gary!

[strass6]

What an ass you are!!!!!!!!!!

[GFY1954]

This 6'4" 210 lb American Celt would be very pleased to enlighten you on this subject?

Is mise,

[surprisevisitor2000]

Self-inflicted?  Your miserable life is what's self-inflicted. GFY.

[christme85]

trou du CUL!!!!!!!!!!!ferme ta sale gueule de merde en plus de ca t un putain de raciste va te fair mettre !!!!!!!!!!!

[terib1962]

parle en anglais s'il te plait...nous ne comprends pas votre dire. Merci

[abitnaff]

40 years later a great band is still a great band...

[TrippingOverGod]

Nobody knew why?

Sure about that Gary?

[kako33nano]

ko

[smelly111]

a wonderful music to a very bad terroract. Procol Harum is simply the best.

[Olixka]

This video treatment complements the Brooker / Reid song well, matching restraint with restraint and allowing the imagination of the 'consumer' (for want of a better term) to complete a most poignant memorial.

[tam1654]

Was very surprised to see that Procol Harum is still

doing newer material...thought he was long gone....

very nice to see him and what a song he's performing here....thanks so much for sharing this one....

[bertman316]

Thank you. This was very well done. I saw 'World Trade Center' yesterday, and this was an excellent followup ....a real emotional one-two punch. You did a wonderful job.

And 'thank you,' to Gary Brooker, Keith Reid, and Procol Harum for that wonderful song. I hope that many, many people will hear the song and watch this video. - Bert
