I am not bothered by the image of President Bush. Presidents are people. If we cannot see past the politics when there is nothing political to see, that is our problem not his. Our humanity should transcend anything, even the picture of a former president. Especially the picture of a former president.
With all the kites we made this week, I see hopes for the kids adventures over the summer and wish for them many bright days as they gave to me today!
This is a beautiful video, but I honestly wish we could take out the picture of the former president. Sorry, but it taints the video with politics, and the message that you are trying to send really should transcend them.
this is a wonderful song. i agree with you 100% sonofvonnegut. maybe people should pay more attention to what songs can do for you and what they really mean then just how popular they r or anything like that. pay attention to the feelings this song can bring out in you and get out there and help the people that need to feel that calmness and happiness that this song brought out in you for themselves. we need to help make that happen and contribute.
I'm away from the 'beautiful' comments. Yes, it is, in the words of one "Just beautiful all over" but doesn't it address our common humanity and compassion? Of course it does.
It also brings me close to tears, especially at this holiday season, when people are dying in the streets of bitter cold, poverty, attendant homelessness.
Please give what you can to your local or national charity. So many depend on us.
Please. Please. Don't let these people die like wretched insects.
You captured the essence of this song stunningly...absolutely breathtaking....when you pan out to just the space picture of earth....it says EVERYTHING ....
"1000 days little sister" another great video to this song

This is awesome... very powerful. You have delved deeper - this time there's more symbolism than in your previous works... Very haunting!
