World on Fire

OK, so this happens to be one of my favourite singers in the whole world, Sarah McLachlan, but don't hold that against me! I'm posting this clip because it's one of the more meaningful music videos I've seen. Something to ponder the next time you spend a lot of money...

You may be interested to click on this link after watching this video clip. And perhaps click on this link to find out more about the concept behind the song.



World On Fire

The world's on fire its more then I can handle
I'll tap into the water try and bring my share
Try to bring more, more than I can handle
Bring it to the table
Bring what I am able

Hearts are worn in these dark ages
You're not alone in these stories' pages
The light has fallen amongst the living and the dying
And Ill try to hold it in
Yeah Ill try to hold it in

Chorus

I watch the heavens but I find no calling
Something I can do to change what's coming
Stay close to me while the sky's falling
I don't wanna be left alone don't wanna be alone

Chorus

Hearts break hearts mend love still hurts
Visions clash planes crash still there's talk of
saving souls still cold's closing in on us

We part the veil on our killer sun
Stray from the straight line on this short run
The more we take the less we become
The fortune of one man means less for some

Chorus

The video is still loading...and I wait.

While waiting I decided to go check out
the concept behind the making as per Gav's link. What is it?

I won't say anymore but go read it.

We all have the potential within ourselves. I just hope that we're brave
enough to wake from the slumber and truly become alive.

thanks for sharing this with us Gav.
