Este video me encanta. Hay tanta armonía entre la música, el movimiento y las imágenes. Es una danza del aire. La voz de Dirk Beck es tan bella, convincente, sincera, vital, entusiasta. Produce alegría en quien escucha. Los bellos coros. Ni siquiera se lo que dicen exactamente. No hace falta. Todo es de una expresividad única y gozosa. Felicitaciones!!!!
