i found this song/poem on youtube today. it was done byt futureshorts. they make short videos (obviously) but the thing i love most about them is each one has such meaning and makes you think. i seriously have gone through so many mood changes in the past half hour watching some of these. the first one i watched was crazy and made me laugh and then the next minute i was near tears, then i was onto empathy, then i landed on a high. then i watched this one called "from one room to another". this one is a very long one being a little over ten minutes long. i thought that the director made it a little too long because the point of the video was in the middle and then just had shots of water and drain pipes for most of the rest. but the song that starts a few minutes into the video is sad but moving. it is sung by motionless, monotone children stuck in a classroom. it is done in a foreign language but is still quite beautiful.
here is the song:
the pattern on the curtain
same as before
you've waited
for so long
that they love you
that they want you to stay
want you to nurse the illusion
that everything's alright
nobody's feeling cold
and angel's wings are pure
from room to room
from room to room
and never out
the same dream again and again
the cuts are deep
knots don't hold
no room in the corner
you had it all
you wouldn't crush them
the mold tighter than ever
.
and if you want to watch the whole video, here is the link:

but please check out their other videos especially. my favorites so far are:
the black hole..... my take: crazy!
who's gonna save my soul? ..... my take: i love the beginning half but then it gets a little too corny for me by the end with the singing heart.
skeletons in the closet.... my take: very well done!
please say something......... my take: depressing but moving and true!
and
D.I.Y. ..... my take: a complete masterpiece.
