@dippingbird How do you know about Arvo Pärt? Are you estonian? :D

Brilliant poem. Great music. Well edited. Way too cynical a world-view for me!

I love the juxtaposition between the photos of smiling parents and their newborns, the melancholy music, and Larkin's bitter words. Also how the images become darker towards the end, what with the soldiers and the shouting silhouettes, before that final condom picture, which made me laugh. You've constructed this video perfectly.
