1. That's a cool tune

Made all the better by the progressive lyrics. And it was all over the radio for about a month, then it just disappeared. I don't know if it was saturation or people figuring out the lyrics and realizing it was about reality, but that tune is nowhere to be found now.

2. It showed up on one of my pandora channels the other day

I'm impressed.

4. Wow!!!

.
Thank you very much for this. Beautiful and heart-wrenchingly
disturbing at the same time. The beginning reminded me of this:
.
Where I grew up in Michigan, there was the tallest man-made waterfall
in the State. Cool place for a lot of reasons.
.
Most important to us were the hills on the sides and back of the
falls. Long, fairly steep, grassy hills usually without any kind of
obstructions.
.
We'd walk our bicycles (the old-fashioned kind with only the foot-actuated
rear brakes) to the top of the hill in the early morning. We'd spend some
time just LOOKING at the beautiful vista and then set off downhill on our
bikes at top speed.
.
We'd go in the early morning because the grass would be SLICK with dew...

the whole way. If we had applied the least bit of pressure to our brakes,
the rear wheel would have locked up and the bike would have ZIPPED out from
under us and there would be a good chance for some serious injuries.
.
We had to be fucking fearless.
.
We were.
.
It was GLORIOUS!!!!!
.
The beginning of this video reminded me of those times... and then it just
goes EVERYWHERE...... fearless and resolute.
.
Thanks again.
