wondering - have you listened to the lyrics, tone, or meaning of this song?

[wherelovegoes]

yes i have, and i understand that the images really have nothing to do with anything in the song. but the actual MUSIC to the song is really relaxing to me and i just wanted a mellow video to go along with it since there werent many on youtube

This song may have been inspired by the events of Sept. 11th & aftermath.This original video iintrepertation  of Harvey's " This Mess We're In" is like a life ,or what one holds dear,flashing before someone as death approaches.I know mine did that day.

@proffesorcaresser " May have "is the key phrase here.I've read posts that asserted that tie in to 9/11 & excerpts from PJ's interviews that possibly fell victim to editorial license But,if the copyright date of the song or the actual release date that disproves that - then thanks are in order for setting it right.:)

@DaDa2Phlux ....didn't the album come out a year before september 11...?

Did all who find a "problem" or "disconnect " with the video' relationship to Pj 's song ever consider it evokes something personal & unique to that person's (wherelovegoes)experience?I believe that is still allowed within the glass walls of this New Age Ant Colony the researchers have provided us .

Gorgious song with great video....thanks

@limeginger - that's because I AM strident and self-righteous. I'm also outspoken and honest to a fault. I'm pretty good at identifying bullshit, however, and as such I -know- that you're aware your comment was nasty and uncalled for. Wherelovegoes explained why they'd put what they put into the video, so there's your link. You want negative? THIS is negative.

[limeginger]

FastTrackStatus, you're completely right. To wherelovegoes: thank you for posting this song. That said, honestly my comment wasn't nasty/derogatory. I asked out of sheer puzzlement. The disconnect between what's going on in this song and ultra pleasant sunny flowers surfing photos couldn't be greater. If I sound pretentious that's being projected onto my comment. Your tone could be likewise be heard as strident, self-righteous and containing more negativity than my original. That said....Peace!

"Pretentious...? Not at all" is laughable, since I'm not sure that there's much you can say that's more pretentious than that.

Basically, I think people like you should be more polite and actually show their appreciation for a video rather than leaving nasty, derogatory comments.

who are you talking to?

[limeginger]

pretentious...? not at all. puzzled? yes.
