Hello Everyone
Here is the 16th Rainbow Mandrills song on Youtube "Obelisk"
The music.... read info in description in the Karaoke version
The lyrics... well if you notice in the World a lot of the "Ruling Elite" love paying for a Obelisk & a Dome to be built together in close proximity to each other, its been happening for century's & still happens (Canary Wharf had its Millennium Dome to keep him company).But in this instance (one of the nicer reasons) the Obelisk represents the Man & the Dome represents the Woman. So that is the point of "Obelisk & Dome" Now Dome is intended to be sung by a Man to a Woman & Obelisk is meant for a Woman to sing to a Man. It is about many things, relationships of course, desire, feeling held back (like a Marble Statue wanting to break free) to live your dreams and desires, yeah there are a LOT of desires especially in the 1st verse!! The 2nd verse is more cosmic Energy really, one of the reasons spoke about Obelisks is that they are like a Giant Acupuncture Needle for the Earth's Energy, the "Dream in frequency's Encoded & Unknown" is sort of realising what we are told & what our own senses confuse us with is not necessarily what IS REALLY happening in the world, the "up & down my spine" is a "Kundalini" experience (I've never had one, leave a comment here if you have & explain what it is like) , The I don't know section is because every BIG Answer to a BIG question is beyond our language to explain. The "Its coming fast" is reference to the "Will You Be Ready?" song (Remember the one with the sand pictures? Its on the same album) The last verse is good old fashioned love every Romeo needs his Juliet!! ;-)
The video .... is pure Terry Gilliam from Monty Python influenced (obviously a rougher version but not bad for a 1st go ;-) I made this before the Mandrills taking Stella's pearl to Romania in the "Petals & Pearls" video. The famous Monty Python Animation is Venus de Milo having a little Dance & getting up to all sorts of nonsense. Now another Obelisk & Dome reason is to do with the Moon & the Sun, so the Moon Goddesses end up fighting over the Obelisk in Paris. Did a bit of research on Moon Goddesses (All interesting stuff) I picked a classical painting of Roman Moon Goddess Diana to start with, I thought that Diana de Versailles in the Louvre Museum could relive her youth by watching one of her old Home Movies "The Love & War of the Moon Goddesses" ;-) The censor is because I wasn't getting very good responses from Lady's I shown, my defence was its a Classical painting & you need to bend your knees when you jump ;-) so I slapped on a Mandrill censor it made me chuckle anyway. She is joined by various world Moon Goddesses (I had originally designed Moon Goddess Top Trumps Cards for this, but couldn't fit them in anywhere only Diana's made it to video) but here is the descriptions of the Moon Goddesses I used for the cards.

Terry Gilliam's animation is second to none. He kept it simple. I hate all the computer generated animation that's out there today. I prefer traditional 2-d animation the more simple, the better. Now that You tube is in our lives, people should be expressing themselves more through animation. Keep on moving those frames.....

@zanarisrobo Thank You very much, I'm happy you like it, it took quite a lot of hours over some weeks here & there, so I appreciate your comment. Best Wishes Pete
PS Terry is a Genius at what he does ;-) I didn't think I would be able to do what I did in this video when I first thought it up. I ended up getting really attatched to some of the Moon Goddesses haha ;-)
