A new video after many months.

This is Brett Dennen, the song 'Aint no Reason.

Lyrics: There ain’t no reason things are this way.
Its how they always been and they intend to stay.
I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday.


Preachers on the podium speakin’ to saints..
Prophet on the sidewalk beggin’ for change,
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name.
I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same,
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing,
You can spend your whole life workin’ for something
Just to have it taken away.
People walk around pushin back their debts.
Wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets,
Talking ‘bout nothing, not thinking ‘bout death,
Every little heartbeat, every little breath.
People walk a tight rope on a razors edge
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons.
It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen
Or a thought or a word or a sentence.

There Ain't no reason things are this way.
It's how they always been and they intend to stay
I don’t know why I say the things I say, but I say them anyway.
But love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set me free, yes.

Prison walls still standing tall,
Some things never change at all.
Keep on buildin’ prisons, gonna fill them all,
Keep on buildin’ bombs, gonna drop them all.
Working your fingers bare to the bone, breakin your
Back make you sell your soul, life alone is filled with
Coal sufficating slow. The wind blows wild and I may move,
The politicians lie and I am not fooled.
You don't need no reason or a three piece suit to argue the truth.
The air on my skin and the world under my toes,
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes,
Chaos and commotion wherever I go, love I try to follow.

Love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set me free, yes.

There ain't no reason things are this way
It’s how they always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday.

Hope you enjoy it.

This is what I thought to write about the video itself.

It's been a few months since I have done any video's, here is my newest.

I did this video with the thought that at least the heavens will show compassion for those suffering (Palestine) as well as to punish those causing it (Israel). The idea that Love and Compassion are tools that seemingly only God(s) can wield properly. My idea may be/is convoluted some as I cannot express 10 years of study in 3-4 sentences.

In a world of no Justice anymore, and the scales of justice being weighed to the benefit of the pathological, the only justice and balance left to weigh what will be the future, in my mind, will come from outside our world.

For some, I imagine that might actually make sense.
Salutes! :)
 
Bravo Balberon! I really like the words "The air on my skin and the world under my toes, slavery stiched into the fabric of my clothes"

Those words reminded me that everyday most of us really do wear clothes that were stiched with others suffering even in the literal sense. Very sad but great song.
 
Images of the video really goes with this great song! Love it. Great job, Balberon. :thup:
 
Thanks very much for sharing your views. Apologies that some of the worded images are fast.

I had some weird things happen as I was doing the video.

I've been staying in a new place since early mid September. Since staying here there have never been problems with the electricity.. last night, due to wind the power went out twice, once when I first got into the video and once again, just before I finished it. Both times were brief, 5-8 seconds but enough to cause everything to have to be booted up again, thank goodness with no damage to anything here.. and now my little fridge is running quieter. :)

I'm considering another one off this same Brett Dennen album (So Much More).

Also, to note for my own self, it's nice to be getting in some less tense music these days vs. the full on thrash stuff I'd consistently listen to for years and years.

Salutes!

Ernesto Sabato, one of the best writer of the XX century said that the only way for the humanity is art. The only way to grow, to become better human being, to understand what is happening. I know that there are others ways, the most important is to work with one self, but art helps in that growing. Art helps. This video is very good, congratulations. And the song is excellent. Thank you!
