Roads - Portishead

Portishead performs "Roads," a hauntingly beautiful song, to images of women and children living in war ravaged regions. The loss is real in the faces of these people, and this is an emotional piece. It is a tribute to the grief and heartache that women around the world sometimes experience.

I made a video just like your's with the same song. If just seemed that THIS song was perfect for whats going on in the Middle East. I commend you on a fantastically beautiful and sadly moving video with music that fits like a glove. I think this is probabaly one of the most brilliant and depressing songs ever written.

WELL DONE!!!! *stands up and applauds carafleming*

[carafleming]

You are very kind.  Thank you very much. I'd like to see your video.

[happyhead64]

I replied with my video....

[carafleming]

We really were thinking along the same lines weren't we? I always think when I do these videos that it isn't me doing it as much as me being a receiver for some message that wants to get out. When I saw your video I re-affirmed that this idea was trying to get through in any way it could. Thanks for sharing.

Very sad and amazing at the same time. The song goes perfectly with the pictures. This is the kind of thing they should've shown George W. Bush and his likes, maybe they'd actually think before going out and bombing another country in some feeble try to play heroes.

I'm glad you said that. I agree. I wasn't in a happy place when I made this video, and the sadness shows. But it also puts things into a perspective that makes me realize how easy I really have it compared to many other women.

it's the reality... i feel your sincerity. you have the biggest heart. good people don't want to see these views in real life... Honestly, that images has made me sad.

and it's made me cry so many times 'cause it's so true...wars, stupid politics, racism, many and many

But now I think about Obama... I hope he can stop the sad war in Iraq where people die every day.

and stop the war Everywhere!

beautiful job! thank you. it never ceases to amaze me how people can easily dehumanize the supposed enemy. these people are us. they are human, they are beautiful, and they are suffering. this video you put together made me cry like a baby.

You did a very good job making videos. I have another account specifically for uploading songs with slides, and I'm very picky when it comes to choosing the right pictures. So basically I wanted to say, that these pictures go perfectly with the music. It actually brought and emotion out of me. I love the part you added at the end. Very good!
