G reminded me of this song and video a few weeks ago. All the little bits of images and text in the video are mesmerizing. Whether it is the political or personal bits that pull at your heart strings, the video is bound to get you thinking about something you care about. For me it is frequently "Opportunity is passing you by." Here they all are:
Right now,
- Ed is playing the piano.
- People are having unprotected sex.
- Opportunity is passing you by.
- Justice is being perverted in a court of law.
- Blacks and whites don't eat together very much.
- You could be outside.
- The light from a star in M-5 is heading toward earth, right now, light that left M-5 a thousand years ago is getting to your house.
- God is killing moms and dogs because he has to.
- Guilt is turning someone inside out.
- VanHalen is planning a world tour.
- There's a bomb factory hard at work.
- You are sitting to close.
- Somebody's got the wrong idea
- Oil companies and old men are in control.
- It's business as usual in the woods.
- Nothing is more expensive than regret.
- People who can't breathe are bumming.
- Is just a space between ice ages.
- Youth is king.
- Maybe we should pay attention to the lyrics.
[lyrics:
Miss a beat, you lose a rhythm
An nothin' falls into place. No!
Only missed by a fraction
Slipped a little off your pace. Oh!]
- Is a good time to repent.
- The truth is being obscured.
- Science is building a better tomato.
- Pigs are becoming lunch.
- Someone is working too hard for minimum wage.
- A convenience store is open.
- Mike is thinking about a solo project.
- Your parents miss you.
- Oysters are being robbed of their sole possession.
- No one is safe from loneliness.
- It is cold where someone you love is.
- It's nicer in Cabo.
- A mad man is wandering the streets of the town you live in.
- A tired man with a wounded heart is sitting in a coach seat on a east-bound transatlantic flight looking out the window wondering how to say "dog", "howl" and "moon" in French in case it comes up.
- She is going on with her life.
- Time is having its way with you.
- Forces are aligning against you.
- Someone is walking onto a nude beach for the first time.
- Ed's got his hands full.
- You wish you had a larger tv.
- Write NOW!
- Our government is doing things we think only other countries do.
- You aren't doing what you most wish you were.
- Is harder than it looks.
- Your memory is getting longer while your life is getting shorter.
- Dogs have it good.
- Is not the fault of the Japanese.
- There is no cure.
- People are doing it for money.
- A bowl of soup would be nice.
- Keeps happening.
- We must be going.
