Lyrics:
[David Attenborough]
How could one species turn into another?
[Richard Dawkins]
How is it that we find ourselves surrounded by such complexity, such elegance?
[Bill Nye]
The genes of you and me
They're all made of DNA
We're all made of the same chemicals
DNA - we're all made of DNA
[Attenborough]
Only the fittest survive
And that is the key
Natural Selection
That is the key
[Dawkins]
We are surrounded by endless forms
Most beautiful, most wonderful
Evolution - the greatest show on Earth
There is grandeur in this view of life
Evolution - the greatest show on Earth
[Attenborough]
The history of life can be thought of
As a many branched tree
The five kingdoms of life
were established early on
Bacteria
Protists- amoeba like creatures
Fungi
Plants
And animals
[Dawkins]
We find ourselves perched on one tiny twig
In the midst of a blossoming tree of life
[refrain]
We are surrounded by millions of other species
Walking, flying, burrowing, stalking, chasing, fleeing,
Outpacing
[Attenborough]
Animals strive to reach this one ultimate goal
To ensure the survival of the next generation
This one ultimate goal
To pass on their genes
That is what life is all about
[refrain]
[Dawkins]
As we look back on the history of life
We see a picture of never ending,
ever rejuvinating novelty
[Attenborough]
Those animals may seem to us to be very remote,
strange, even fantastic
But all of us alive today
Owe our very existence to them

"Evening" (written by Sara Niemietz and W.G. Snuffy Walden)
Hi there! Welcome to the video for my song, "Evening."
It's inspired by a bunch of things: namely my subconscious zeal for T.S. Eliot's work and time spent in New York.
It's been a labor of love and something I'm excited to share.
Hope you like it!
Gratitude to Snuffy for making this tune with me!
Shouts of joy to George Landress for mixing.
Cheers to George Doering for being a part of this.
Thanks to Jake and Julien for the video magic.
(Produced by W.G. Snuffy Walden and Sara Niemietz at Taylor Made Studios.)
Lyrics:
In the corner of the evening,
When there's not a soul around.
If you close your eyes and listen,
You will hear a funny sound.
As it calls across the darkness,
Past the break of distant shores,
It will cut across the silence;
Break the locks upon your doors.
And as the music starts to sway,
All at once, it will take you away.
When the music's all around you,
There's no hope for a retreat.
You'll surrender to the rhythm,
Disappear into the beat.

As a young boy i allways heard the story about a glider making an emergency landing during wo II near Maldegem.Growing up i became myself ( and i am still ) a glider pilot.We own a lot to these guys and actually i am the president off the " Switchback March" a march to remeber the liberation off the Maldegem region.
I'm sad to hear Mr Axelson already past away. I would have loved to met him.
Best regards
Benedict Braet ( plse contact me on my personel e-mail if interested )
I am the widow of a CBI Veteran and have a lot of pictures, but you have some better. Most Gratefully, Barbz80
