Up & Up

Let's dream Up & Up
with this positive song by Coldplay
and this great animation by Vania Heymann.


Coldplay 'Up&Up' from Vania Heymann on Vimeo.


Lyrics "Up&UP" by Coldpay 


Fixing up a car And driving it again
Searching for the water Hoping for the rain
Up and up Up and up
Down upon a canvas Working in a mill

Waiting for a chance to pick a Irish field
Up and up up and up
See a performer Diamond in the rough
See a bird soaring high above the flood
its in your blood its in your blood

Underneath the storm an umbrella is saying
Sitting with the poison takes away the pain
up and up up and up
We’re gonna get it, get it together
I know we’re gonna get it, get it together somehow
We’re gonna get it, get it together and flower
Ooohhh
We’re gonna get it, get it together I know
We’re gonna get it, get it together and flow
We’re gonna get it, get it together and go
up and up and up
Lying in the gutter Aiming for the Moon

Trying to empty out the ocean with a spoon
Up and up, up and up
How can people suffer how can people part
How can people struggle how can people break your heart
Break your heart
Yes I wanna glow Yes I wanna feel
Yes I wanna know show me how to heal it up, heal it up
I see the fire stare at every seed
Angels in the marble waiting to be freed, just need love
Just need love when the going is rough saying
We’re gonna get it, get it together
I know we’re gonna get it
Get it together somehow
We’re gonna get it, get it together and flower, oooh
We’re gonna get it, get it together, I know we’re gonna get it
Get it together and flow
We’re gonna get it, get it together and go up
Cause you can say what is
We'll fight for it, close your mind
Take a risk, you can say it's mine

Clench your fist, or see each soul as, as a gift
We’re gonna get it, get it together
I know we’re gonna get it, get it together somehow,
We’re gonna get it, get it together and flower
Oooohhhhh
We’re gonna get it, get it together I know, we’re gonna get it
Get it together and flow
We’re gonna get it, get it together and go up and up and up
We’re gonna get it, get it together
I know we’re gonna get it, get it together somehow
We’re gonna get it, get it together and flower, oooh
We’re gonna get it, get it together I know
We’re gonna get it, get it together and flow
We’re gonna get it, get it together and go up and up and up
Fixing up a car to drive in it again
When you’re in pain when you think you’ve had enough,
don’t ever give up, don't ever give up, believe in love!

Wall-E


The cute robot Wall-E could be a good clue about our Future.
At least we can think about what is really priority in our Present.
Maybe recycling waste and nature conservation
 will help us avoid errors like those of the Past.

There is a funny video with the great song
 by Peter Gabriel "Down to Earth" which appears 
in the soundtrack of this interesting film.

 "Down to Earth" by Peter Gabriel
 Lyrics

 Did you think that your feet had been bound
By what gravity brings to the ground?
Did you feel you were tricked
By the future you picked?
Well, come on down

All these rules don't apply
When you're high in the sky
So come on down
Come on down

We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow up on the mountains
We've got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground
To hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

Did you think you'd escaped from routine
By changing the script and the scene?
Despite all you made of it
You're always afraid of the change

You've got a lot on your chest
Well, you can come as my guest
So come on down
Come on down

We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow up on the mountains
We've got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground
We'll hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

Like the fish in the ocean
We felt at home in the sea
We learned to live off the good land
We learned to climb up a tree

Then we got up on two legs
But we wanted to fly
Oh, when we messed up our homeland
And set sail for the sky

We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow upon the mountains
We got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground
We'll hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

We're coming down
Comin' down to earth
Like babies at birth
Comin' down to earth
Redefine your priorities
These are extraordinary qualities

We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow upon the mountains
We've got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground
We'll hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow upon the mountains
We've got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground
We'll hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

Redefine your priorities
These are extraordinary qualities
To find on earth

Comin' down, comin' down

We’re A lot Like Trees

There's a great song to practice our English
 throught an artistic animation from dreambear


Paper Lights - We're Alot Like Trees (Official Music Video) from dreambear on Vimeo.

Were're A Lot Like Trees
by Paper Lights 

 It's been said of trees that they're imperfect men
imprisoned by the roots between their sins
with branches that reach into the dirt like arms
to plant their thoughts like seeds
but it never seemed so to me.

We're all living in the same room
and the heavens are the roof
we're all living in the shadow
of a canyon bigger than us.

It's been said that fire is just a greedy flame
with lights to distract from all it hopes to gain
all dressed up in colors to ignite it's claim
and a heart that's much like me
but I've never felt all that free.

We're all living in the same room
and the heavens are the roof
we're all living in the shadow
of a canyon bigger than us.


(MetroLyrics)

Catch & Release


Matt Simons - Catch & Release (Deepend Remix) Lyric Video
from John LaPrime on Vimeo.

 "Catch & Release"
by Matt Simons

There's a place I go to
Where no one knows me
It's not lonely
It's a necessary thing
It's a place I made up
Find out what I'm made of
The nights are stayed up
Counting stars and fighting sleep

Let it wash over me
Ready to lose my feet
Take me on to the place where one reviews life's mistery
Steady on down the line
Lose every sense of time
Take it all in and wake up that small part of me
Day to day I'm blind to see
And find how far
To go

[Hook:]
Everybody got their reason
Everybody got their way
We're just catching and releasing
What builds up throughout the day

It gets into your body
And it flows right through your blood
We can tell eachother secrets
And remember how to love

There's a place I'm going
No one knows me
If I breathe real slowly
Let it out and let it in
They can be terrifying
To be slowly dying
Also clarifying
The end where we begin

So let it wash over me
I'm ready to lose my feet
Take me on to the place where one reviews life's mistery
Steady on down the line
Lose every sense of time
Take it all in and wake up that small part of me
Day to day I'm blind to see
And find how far
To go

[Hook]

It gets into your body
And it flows right through your blood
We can tell eachother secrets
And remember how to love

[Hook]

And it gets into your body
And it flows right through your blood
We can tell eachother secrets
And remember how to love

The Cicle of Life

The Cicle of Life 
is the main musical theme on the film







The Circle of Life
by Hans Zimmer

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle

The Circle of Life

Good Morning new Solstice

 Welcome a new  Solstice 
whatever your hemisphere
with a joyful and popular song
by Damaris Gelabert.


Thursday, December 3, 2015

Celebrations

 Each culture has several celebrations
When is coming the change of seasons
Let's give a nice welcome to winter or summer
with music, decorations and reunions.

As this joyful song
sung simultaneously
for boys and girls everywhere.


Celebration | Songs Around The World from Playing For Change on Vimeo.


With symmetries cut on paper
You can wrap a glass jar,
and if you put a candle inside
you have illuminated shapes out.




Let's give color to  the festivities
giving wings to creativity
with painted or wraped cartons
or lined with transparencies.

You can cut funny shapes
with silhouettes of various measures,
and hanging from mobile structures
adorned houses remain.

Leo's Song


Lyrics:

I started playing this song.
But did not know where it would lead.
I just kept playing, and playing.
A young pyramid heard my song
and told friends of it discovery.
They asked if the sound's creator could be found.
The pyramid said if would try.
And so its journey began
though the distance was great.
The pyramid was very fast.
The pyramid found the earth.
Searched the forests
and looked outside supermarkets.
It even went door to door, to door.
The pyramid was discouraged
but refused to give up.
I continue to play
unaware of the pyramid's search.
The pyramid followed the sound to my window
where I invited in inside
so it could rest its travels.
Time went by and we became friends.
We sampled some minidiscs
purchased a house
and collected records.
And trew a party.
The pyramid was very responsible
and would now the lawn every week.
The pyramid even did the grocery shopping
though the pyramid enjoyed my company.
It began to miss home
when suddenly
it was contacted by its home planet
because was building with the cubes.
The pyrmaid built a ship for me
so we could both travel to its home.
We travelled as fast as we could
to prevent the terrible disaster.
I had never been so far from home.
During the trip I filled two notebook
with notes ans sketches.
We arrived and met with the High Council
but they were unwilling to listen to reason.
Once again, the young would lead the old,
and fight common fear with common sense.
The young pyramid lined up
in support of the cubes.
The young cubes did the same.
To teach the elders, the young shapes continued.
Together, the youths had taught peace.
And now rejoiced
while I played this song.
I continued to recording experiences
with paper and pen
and released them to either
hoping they would be found.

When you talk about yourself, you use I

Unstoppable U
Unstoppable U

We now understand
All about the letter U

The Equinox leads a New Season

To receive the new Season, an original Music
which remember us everything is cyclic.



Eighty Five - Spring (Music Video) from Eighty Five on Vimeo.


According to what you're hemisphere of the earth,
have experienced a different equinox,
but either Autumn or Spring,
color changes everything.

The colors are cool in Spring
when Nature awakens from winter break.
The colors are warm in Autumn
where nature has nourished on the summer heat.



You can play with nature color's changes
 and every inspiring new sensation that you feel.
It's just like let go in a blank.
Maybe that's why equinoxes seem to have a changing effect.

There's a phenomenal proposal on

Octopus

Maybe the best remedy
may be Music and Comedy.
The diving in great songs
can change our sensations.
There's a nice piece for you
where swimming with the Octopus.


Octopus's Garden from goldmine1969 on Vimeo.


"Octopus's Garden" 
by The Beatles

I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus's garden in the shade

I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus's garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade

We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus's garden near a cave

We would sing and dance around
Because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade

We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
(Happy and they're safe)

We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you


Here is another fun version of this song
in a cardboard theater can do yourself.

Tribute to the Music

The wonderful power of Music changes us.
The message of the lyrics through the paper plane.
The inspiration of the melody through the guitar dancing.
The suggestive song "Five Miles Out" by Mike Oldfield.



Tribute to the Music from FLYKIT on Vimeo.

Thanks to Marta Costas for sharing this cool animation.



 The special sensibility of great singers
or the singular skill of great songwriters
increases our possibilities of knowledge.
Phil Ochs born on December 19 and is one
of these voices that remains for everyone.


Phil Ochs : Changes from Doug Lang on Vimeo.

"Changes" by Phil Ochs

Sit by my side, come as close as the air
And share in a memory of gray
And wander in my words
Dream about the pictures that I play of changes

Green leaves of summer turn red in the fall
To brown and to yellow, they fade
And then they have to die
Trapped within the circle time parade of changes

Scenes of my young years were warm in my mind
Visions of shadows that shine
'Til one day I returned and found they were
The victims of the vines of changes

The world's spinning madly, it drifts in the dark
It Swings through a hollow of haze
A race around the stars
Journey through the universe ablaze with changes

Moments of magic will glow in the night
All fears of the forest are gone
But when the morning breaks
They're swept away by golden drops of dawn of changes

Passions will part to a strange melody
As fires will sometimes burn cold
Like petals in the wind
We're puppets to the silver strings of souls of changes

Your tears will be trembling, now we're somewhere else
One last cup of wine we will pour
And I'll kiss you one more time
And leave you on the rolling river shore of changes

So sit by my side, come as close as the air
And share in a memory of gray
And wander in my words
Dream about the pictures that I play of changes

Smile

    Thanks to Charles Chaplin    
    by this smiley composition.   

"Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile with your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile"


If you smile looking at the clouds is easier that they would smile to you.
 We can learn a lot of great talent artists.


Charles Chaplin was a genius of expression without words.
But he had a multifaceted personality and he also dared with chords.


Smiling is easy with this video.

Harmonious combination

The symbiosis between musical compositions
 and images of the nature of  videos by Lucas Thanos
is a harmonious combination that can inspire the best emotions.



Have a nice flight through this great music.




" Huanglong (simplified Chinese: 黄龙; traditional Chinese: 黃龍;
 pinyin: Huánglóng; literally: "yellow dragon")is a scenic
 and historic interest area in the northwest part of Sichuan, China.
 It is located in the southern part of the Minshan mountain range,
 150 kilometres (93 mi) north-northwest of the capital Chengdu.
 This area is known for its colorful pools formed by calcite deposits,
 especially in Huanglonggou (Yellow Dragon Gully), 
as well as diverse forest ecosystems, snow-capped peaks,
 waterfalls and hot springs. Huanglong is also home 
to many endangered species including
 the Giant Panda and the Sichuan Golden Snub-nosed Monkey.
 Huanglong was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1992."

" Erta Ale (or Ertale or Irta'ale) is a continuously active basaltic
shield volcano in the Afar Region of northeastern Ethiopia.
It is in the Afar Depression, a badland desert area
spanning the border with Eritrea,
and the volcano itself is surrounded completely
 by an area below sea level,[citation needed]
making it a relatively low-elevation volcano.
It is the most active volcano in Ethiopia."
" The Giant's Causeway (known as Clochán an Aifir or
 Clochán na bhFomhórach in Irish and tha Giant's Causey in Ulster-Scots)
 is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns,
 the result of an ancient volcanic eruption.
 It is located in County Antrim on the northeast
 coast of Northern Ireland, about three miles (4.8 km)
 northeast of the town of Bushmills.
It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO
 in 1986, and a National Nature Reserve in 1987
by the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland.
 In a 2005 poll of Radio Times readers,
the Giant's Causeway was named as the fourth
 greatest natural wonder in the United Kingdom.
 The tops of the columns form stepping stones
 that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea.
 Most of the columns are hexagonal,
although there are also some with four, five, seven or eight sides.
The tallest are about 12 metres (39 ft) high,
and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres (92 ft) thick in places.
The Giant's Causeway is today owned and managed
 by the National Trust and it is the most
popular tourist attraction in Northern Ireland."


Thanks to Lucas Thanos
 for sharing his music
that is a gift to the senses.

Resonance



It's the little emotions that give resonance to life.
The small resonance that has great significance.

For instance, this sweet song and his simple story
playing by the Group Saint Gervasi of Barcelona.


Resonance from FLYKIT on Vimeo.

 A whistling was its origin, and a composition,
thank to good friends, was its transformation.

 Finally, it's became a song through
the charming voices of a friendly group.

It's just a grain of sand and its resonance
seeks the positive emotions and their dance.



This simple story begins with " VIMEO Weekend Challenge"
where you just can use the music of vimeo on demand
or own composition: so, why not a melodic whistling ?
After that, everything is causality or coincidence.


Geometry is Everywhere

Take off Again

Swimming and Singing



Thanks to everyone
 for sharing because who share
 is the best way of take care.
