Musical interlude with Brian Eno
This is my “version” of a video created and posted on YouTube by entropious88 here. I don’t wish to take anything away from his terrific original, but the resolution was breaking up on playback, so I layered over some fresh effects (and added a picture of Dali with Eno at the end).
If the video doesn’t play properly here, try here.
Entropious used time-lapse photography to shoot a view across the Thames River in Komoka Provincial Park, west of London, Ontario, Canada (not far from where I grew up, actually). He’s done several others, all quite compelling, using other Eno tracks.
Here are the lyrics to this song, “This”, which comes from the 2005 album “Another Day On Earth”:
This water
This son
This daughter
This day
This time
This land
It’s all mine
This Forge Bell
This Dark Bell
This The Knife Bell
This calling
This burden
This falling
The world’s turning
This What I thought was true
This I understood
This In the deep wood
This Ah there I stood a child so fair
This On a certain square
This Down the dirty stairs
This To see the table set
This With golden chairs
This Ah to follow, follow, follow, follow there
And this world
This feeling
And this girl
This revolver
This fire
This I’ll hold it up higher, higher, high
