The video was made by the video artists Crumbs Chief as a part of the videotones project, which is basically a project about creating videos for The Kleptones mashup music.
I am not the biggest fan of their music, but I really like this video, it’s sick. 1000 dancers from several movies and plays.
And I love the original Beatles song ‘Come together‘. Great song. I dig all that Beatles and Doors stuff so much. My uncle used to have this old Wurlitzer (now it’s mine) and I would play Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, The Byrds, Hendrix and so many more whenever I would hang out at his place to listen to his unique stories and to him playing the guitar (or torturing the guitar, but he loved it..still does.that’s what it’s about)I would earn my pocket money by memorizing the lyrics of songs from the 60ies. I am so thankful for this kind of early music education, even if I kind of took it for granted back then when I was the weird kid singing ‘Ruby Tuesday’ instead of ‘I’m to sexy for my shorts’. Today, in times where music seems to be stuck in an endless circle of copy and paste, it is so special to me to know all this originals by heart. All the songs that actually meant and moved something, songs that stood for more than a hot video or a fancy haircut. Listening to this music is not only listening to nice tunes, it’s listening to a sense of time or to the expression of the mindstate of a generation, at the end of the day it’s listening to history.
I don’t mean to hate, not at all. I just appreciate that music a lot, because it is made of less and sounds like so much more.
PEACE
