@idohad

i shot this footage in new orleans after 'katrina'.

[jedi26]

there were some dogs and some really great people were finding them and taking them in. some birds too. i just wasnt able to catch them on camera.

i remember that disaster. it reminds me of the joe strummer album title 'earthquake weather'.

Powerful choice of track. The emptiness of the scenes is eerie. Well done. Says a ton more than most of the media coverage managed in endless waffle.

I stiring rendition. Love Emmylou. I think it is a huge mistake to compare their voices. They are both unique and great in their own rite. They have great respect for one another.

Excellent footage of the tragedy. Very moving.

@jedie26: Thank you / Dankeschön! Phantasie is here to stay... and a live with or without "Eroc"...Maybe nur a Marionetten-Fehler.

unreif wie alles war...ich nehme auch die blöde Sau...Und an den Schöpfer..."geringfügige Änderungen am Hirn-Herz-Gefüge werden in Betracht gezogen". Da die Möglichkeit besteht, dass das feige Gefüge inhaltlich und gefühlsmäßig total manipulieren kann, da denkst Du garnicht drann...!!!

[harlekin0263]

Du bist die Unruhe...Und wenn ich mich nach Dir richten müsste, und dann noch genug Weibchen da wär zum leben, wärest Du mein! Ich Schwein , und du meine Sau!!!

I just found this video yesterday and am so impressed. Great footage, elegant editing job, and brilliant selection of music. I love Emmylou anyway, but the way it goes with (and in some ways, contrasts with) the footage is beautiful. Actually I wrote a review of this for my blog - I can't post links here, but let me know if you'd like to see it. Have you done more stuff like this?

OMG I loved your song choice for this video. I knever knew the extent, until now, I was blinded, the news really does not let people know the whole truth. Good video and song.
