Wow, this is music...

Brilliant video. It gave me so much more understanding of the song. I feel that in every person's life they in someway, shape or form, experience one event so powerful it changes them forever. And although we all have the potential, I feel like only a few are able to channel that singular emotion into something eternal. I feel Don Mclean did that with Buddy Holly's death. It was as if a rose grew from the rubble of the crash. Great song that should be played forever.

An nice improvement would be to have the lyrics on the subtitles.

I thank you for your slideshow. Inow have a much deeper understanding of what he meant. To me the jester was the USSR and the King the USA.

Although this is brilliant; the lyric is : When Lenin wrote a book on Marx, referring to the fall of communism in Russia... and you showed pictures of John Lennon/
