I've love, love, love, love, loved this song for so long and it always makes me feel GOOD.
I was so pleasantly surprised to find this incredible video accompaniement on you tube. Apparently it was an assignment....
"This was done for a motion graphics class in the SVA MFA Design program. The assignment was to create a music video using just type and typographic elements in black and white. The song choice was up to us. The professor was Gail Anderson. "
The student / incredibly talented artist.... Tamara Connolly.
enjoy....
well -- that was so much fun I have to share another one -- this one is not the theme song of my life, but it was so much fun being in nyc last october with farland and jordan and margo and seeing paul and natalie and amy and nancy and kiley too that this one works -- plus I'd forgotten how much I love "they might be giants"!
they totally get it. :-)
oh heck -- I just found this one and I love it too! I wish I could see all of the assignments that were turned in for that class. the students / artists all chose the lovelist most fun songs!!
I've never heard "the magnetic fields" but by golly I'm going to hear some more of their stuff some day I'd say. :-) here you go.....
here's another -- I don't know if it was for the same class -- but it's too sweet, music and video -- not to share.....
hmmmm. it occurs to me that I wish Adam (my sweet husband who came away with me years ago) was on gaia. maybe then I'd know if he ever reads me blog. I'm gonna ask him again to become a gai. hee hee hee. :-)
help! i can't stop. got to go to bed, but this one is so cool....... I have to share it. I think it might give me some memory/insight into the plight of all the lovely 20 somethings in the world. a few lovelly teens I know will be 20 somethings soon too. and the video is so much fun!
that's all for now folks. tune in, maybe next month, when miss dawn might have almost a whole day to play on the computer again.

holy (holey, wholly) smokes!! just as I was closing up the computer and getting ready to turn out the lights I got a text from a wonderful, good, twenty-something friend asking me if i was still up and I said, “believe it or not - yes” and then the phone rang and she said, “I was out at the bars tonight.” and “it was so disappointing. I’m just so over boys. it’s over! i keep saying that.” and “there’s more to life than romance.” and “i don’t know if I can make it to yoga tomorrow morning – I’d like to sleep in.” and I had to laugh and share the lyrics from that “twenty something” song with her. she’s such a light. I hope she gets her heart’s desire and more! I’m thinking back ten years ago. I’m glad I’m in the nina simone’s “feelin’ good” stage of my life now. I wonder what might be my theme song 10, 20, 30, 40 more years from now. i hope it’s still a little of “feelin’ good”!
uuhhmm, what a great lil collection of songs & cool vids to wake up too. I really really enjoyed this dawn & i believe it hit my slumbering creative nerve.. I love your taste in music too <3
You have great taste in music for sure. I love They Might Be Giants. did you ever listen to Throwing Muses?
OMG!!! They are all great, but OMG, the Nina Simone feelin' good…???? I am soaring jumping twirling diving, coming to sudden halts, pause..beat..beat…, and then SOARING higher higher. Did I ever tell you that I am a jazzzzzzzzzzz (that be how it's pronounced!) dahncer? You have GOT to see the choreography I just worked out drummed out tapped out kicked out on that apparently simple – but infinitely gloriously complex – music video of 'just some words against the backdrop of song.' My heart is on fire with inspiration!
Once again, Dawn of Radiant Light, I bow to you. Deep bows. Wild appreciation. JOY!! eeeeeeee
my you were having fun! wonderful!
funny isn't it how resistant our loved ones can be to our beloved Gaia? :) Hugs!
no use going to bed when you're having fun….after all…dead in bed lasts a long time.
thank you
what a gift is Nina Simone's fabulous art.
I would love to see us do a theme song for Gaia , and us writing it , also singing it as one.
I have many theme songs through out my life, and love this blog.
Thanks for sharing , as you are love.

cheers dawn! these were great picks.
I especially like Nina Simone and Norah Jones, and the clean, black/white production of all the videos were really nice and fun to look at… :0))
dawn … Oh yes, I love this Nina Simone song! I have long, long, long enjoyed her singing this and often BLAST it! thanks for discovering that amazing you tube video of it!!! … and that Norah Jones is one of my theme songs … as I await my true love, my someone to “come away with me … in the night” and like another one of my fave songs by Annie Lennox says … “talk to me like lovers do” … also on this video is Annie talking about her interview with a Tibetan Monk … and global freedom.

I looked it up but couldn't figure out what MFA stands for. I assume it is in NY though. I enjoyed the music and the videos. My son used to listen to magnetic fields. Loved all of them.
wow – looks what happens when either gaia or gmail decides I don't need to get notified when there are new comments on my blog entries….
