And the Vlog journey begins...

...I've been interested in beginning a video blog for quite some time now. For some reason, life got busy and I was off gallavanting across the globe and the gALLIxSEE vlog project got put on the back burner for a bit. But I'm back from traveling and I have many images and sounds and dv deliciousness to share- mine as well as others'. I find myself getting juicy tips on videos all over the inner:net and I do love to share. Enjoy the ride...

This first video I would like to share was found thanks to a tip from my lovely friend Eric. This is a video cut together entirely from GW Bush's State of the Union Address~ the technical skills in this lil' tidbit are enough to make an editor dizzy, but the eerily melancholy yet hopeful tone that this video manages really makes it one for the archives.






Lyrics:

there's been a lot of talk about this next song

this next song is not a rebel song

this song is sunday bloody sunday


i can't believe the news today

can't close my eyes and make it go away

how long how long must we sing this song

how long too long for too long


tonight we can be as one

tonight tonight tonight


broken bottles under children's feet

bodies strewn across the dead end streets

but i won't heed the battle call

it puts my back up puts my back up against the wall


sunday bloody sunday

sunday bloody sunday

let's roll


and the battle's just begun

this many lost and tell me who has won

the trench is dug within our hearts

mothers children brothers sisters torn apart


sunday bloody sunday

sunday bloody sunday


how long how long must we sing this song

how long too long for too long


tonight we can be as one

tonight tonight tonight


sunday bloody sunday

sunday bloody sunday

let's roll


anyone who wants more details on my agenda can find them online

the web address is not very imaginative but its easy to remember

thepartyparty.com

wipe the tears from your eyes

wipe your tears away

wipe your tears away

wipe your tears away

wipe your blood shot eyes


sunday bloody sunday

sunday bloody sunday

let's roll


and it's true we're not immune

when fact is fiction and tv reality

and today the millions cry

we eat and drink while tomorrow they die


sunday bloody sunday

sunday bloody sunday


(words & music: u2)
