"say 'i love you' like you mean it"--my affirmation that this video, and its synchronized text, are absolutely brilliant!
Adam Klein and Michael Mullen... the two most under-appreciated and under-exposed songwriters in America and Afghanistan! Where Did the Time Go? is creepy and interesting and beautiful all at the same time. The black and white affirmations are fascinating and perplexing.
And that little ad for An Appetite for Redaction (Adam on the magic carpet)... OMG@!
Thank you Ninth Letter for posting this great work!
Beauiful song. It reminds me of all the vast terrain of human experience that goes completely ignored in song because of the way love songs just kind of suck up all the oxygen, air time and creativity. Size Queens rule the night!
When the corners of your mouth turn up, you know life is getting good.
Laughter is the sweetest medicine!
The sweetness at the bottom of the pie is as good as even the best summer day!
Great song & video!
As for an affirmation:
I become more empathetic every day.
Everyday is like is xmas when you sing outloud!
May a cat never die in your jaws.
Don't let the sun set on your child's dream, keep chasing the horizon with them.
Your time is never up. It is just beginning.
Without heart you cannot succeed.
My second home is always with me. It is inside me!
Love is like cancer. You just hope it stops growing before it kills you.
Dance as if someone is holding a gun to you.
Always eat, pray, and LOVE!
Its all fun and games until someone pulls a baby out.
Each day is filled with rainbows if you just know where to look.
don't sweet the small stuff. save it for a bigger piece of cake!
You can always go home. Just remember to always select the round-trip option when booking online.
Vodka can make each day feel like a new day.
Tend to your life like you tend to your garden.
Live for today!
Snowflakes aren't the only things that are special and unique, people are too!
When the going gets tough, add a knowing wink to your step and SMILE.
Got a secret? Let it free.
Love thy neighbor. And love yourself.
When things get tough keep you chins up.
Make your own rules in love and magic.
Without leaps of imagination you lose the excitement of possibilities.
