A very cool gift . . .

Everyday gifts are given and received; a hug, a bit of advice, a homemade, chocolate chip cookie, a cd of an incredible music group, a link to an amazing website, and the list goes on.

So for me, I feel a gift I've received, is simply to be alive during these amazing times.  A time where, change is happening literally in front of our eyes, where technology is allowing previously unimaginable possibilities, possible, and where community has the ability to not only exist just within our neighborhoods, but also across the world. 

The music video below, shot for the song 'Hibi no Neiro' (Tone of Everyday) from the Japanese band Sour, is an awesome example of all of this.

The cast were selected from the actual Sour fan base, from many countries around the world. Each person and scene was filmed purely via web cam - Very cool!

Not quite gift wrapped, but a little present from me to you. I hope you enjoy!

Lyrics

Your heart that gently reflects in the puddle
is your tone, as you pass through the maze of everyday

Footsteps of spring
the city starts adding color
The melody flows LE LU LA LI
Through the colored lenses

ReggaeDubHiphopTechnoLatin
Between the waves of all the different values
JazzRockPops Category no more
Whats the most important thing?

Spinning and turning on the overpass
as we overtake that season
this and that, which color is your melody?
Sometimes you could get confused

ReggaeDubHiphopTechnoLatin
Between the waves of all different values
JazzRockPops Category no more
What are you thinking of now?

If we can embrace all the differences
It will shine the sky in rainbow colors
Your heart that gently reflects in the puddle
is your tone, as you pass through the maze of everyday

You can see it in any color, because of your clear feeling
Don't worry about it, lets just go as we are.
If we can embrace all the differences
The rain will stop, and the sky will shines in rainbow colors

Your heart that gently reflects in the puddle
is your tone, as you pass through the maze of everyday
You can see it in any color, because of your clear feeling
Let your tone shine like the rainbow

Pass through the maze of everyday
And start playing your tone
