God it's so awful when you see it like this. I mean, it is anyway but it really really affects you when it's shown so realisticly like this. But we have to remember what happened there; that is so important.
@cloxwork there is this song by Red called Pieces and it does the same thing to me. Musically its slow and sad, but lyrically its uplifting and supportive
Beatiful and very sad... Original idea to set these images of suffering caused by sin of mankind to a song which is about the desire to a perfect place where is no sin and only love...
This is beautiful...a profound theme to set this song to. I am truly amazed and love this video. It portrays the devastation and pain perfectly with words that suit it at a level of understanding fit for any age.

One of the few fan-made vids I've seen where the video is even more powerful than the song.

This is the creepiest song i've ever loved.
There's just something about it...it's depressing yet uplifting...its paradoxical.

Have you read The Prophet by Kahil Gibran? The section on death really connects with your video for me.

Look at those faces, suffering patiently with resignation. I wonder if these images were taken by the liberators?
