(i can’t say entirely what it is but i could watch it again and forever i think maybe it’s the singer’s voice (so gentle) or the views of San Fransisco (we were there once for a blissful time in 2002) or the intense angles of the roads in that city so far away from here (but not so far) where the air is like that (i remember). the color of the sky too in the video is nice and the vicious incline of the streets that remind one (don’t they?) of Pittsburgh and there again mankind has determined to live there anyway and does. but you can’t watch it for any time at all without noticing (of course) the millions (how many?) of bouncing balls that just go cascading down the street and over everything everywhere. maybe responsible watching would make you think about how in the world will they clean that up and is it okay for the environment but as you watch it those thoughts just seem to go the way of the balls themselves scattered and lost somehow in the exquisite (isn’t it?) beauty of the entire thing. roberto called it brownian movement and i think he may be right but even that you don’t think of so much as you think of the frog that leaps out of the downspout to join (doesn’t he?) something so beautiful as this (and notice would you the way the light of the sun shines through his webbed toes). you realize as you watch that the bouncy balls won’t hurt the cars or anything at all really they are just bouncing and being the colors that they are and somehow watching it you think that maybe things in this world aren’t so bad (though recently you’ve been thinking that they are indeed bad and even worse (can it be?) than you had previously (and so recently) thought) and even when the garbage cans fall you think it’s okay it really is okay. no things can’t be so bad not so bad if once in awhile we might write and play and sing or hear a song like this and if once (if only once) someone (even for the sake of an advertisement) released all these colored balls at one time and there is no one in the world who wouldn’t (would they?) think this isn’t beautiful.)
