Yup. Made me cry as well. I felt like, gee, I'm alive at a time where I am truly a part of things. I'm just so awe struck by our not, lack of limitations, but by our ability to overcome limitations. To be able to connect an idea world wide, is so utterly amazing to me, since I was born in 1959. I suddenly feel like my Dad. He was awestruck by the moon landing in 1969 when I was ten. He was born in 1917. 1917! Doesn't that sound like a million years ago?! But yet my aunt is still alive and was born in 1923.
But whats also moving is that I totally "get", how much work went into that. Not only the mixing part, but to go out and find, then ask people if they want to be a part of that song. The blind guy in DC especially. I watched the video so closely and sometimes..I think we bypass people singing on the street. It makes us uneasy. Watch closely and you see all sorts of people bypassing street singers. I mean reallly, we might have to donate a dollar or something. Ick. They should gave a "real" job. Isnt it sad we might think like that? I wish everyone could see that video. Its just so perfect to make us understand that we shouldnt be afraid of one another.
I feel elated and depressed, all at the same time. I did tho, send the video to all my friends.
