i have wanted to make this post for sometime...guess now is just as good as any.
this has always been a sleeper favorite of mine. it gives me the same feeling as m9 but even more powerful. in my opinion it is one of their most powerful tracks. the visuals i get in my head are just so vivid when listening to this track. i see a crowded city street, children playing in the front lawn, a shuttle leaving the atmosphere, a cliff jumper, a time lapse sky, a time lapse plant growing, a pinwheel spinning, protest, a public speaker, race cars whizzing by, a bird diving in the water a coming up with a fish in his mouth, a mountain climber, a high school basketball game, machine gun turrets, a kiss at a wedding, a funeral, a mother holding a child, a lonely teenager staring out the window at the rain, a city sky line at night, some very thick dense deep woods, a balloon floating in sky, sunrise, sunset, an argument between a couple, the wall falling, mushroom clouds, various images of famous figures in time waving, summer, spring, autumn, winter, and as it fades out a child play hop scotch and the camera zooming out to the city, state, country, planet and all the way out to space and beyond.
yeah so ok i get alot of these images when listening to BoC anyway. their music is so visual, but this song sounds like it came right out of a documentary film i saw at the omni as a kid. alot of their music has that quality and a documentary feel...this one truly captures that feeling with no kickn beats or haunting vocals, its very straight forward. i love how it makes me feel everytime i listen to it...
thats the beauty of their music. each track makes me feel a different way...they hold their own stories...this one is no expection.
so here is to you original hiscores...
