The Way You Dream is my all time favorite song that I've played over and over for about 10 years now. It still moves me deeply every single time. If I ever meet someone who is as moved by this song as I am, it's all over... I know I will have found my new partner in life. Music is everything.
The 1 Giant Leap and What About Me? films are exceptional and were done by Duncan Bridgeman and James Catto as a true labor of love over several years traveling the world seeking out the brightest and most innovative talent. You can find it easily by searching.
And if I may be even more personal, this song has been instructed to be played after my passing when I shed my skin suit and continue on my journey. It continues to move me in life and in death.
This is a repeat of a 2004 post since this has come up twice in the past few days.

The crux of the situation relies in great measure on real economics, and energy has always been the underlying basis for all economies for all time. Wade Frazier

Hubble Deep Field - Representing a narrow "keyhole" view stretching to the visible horizon of the universe, the Hubble Deep Field image covers a speck of the sky only about the width of a dime 75 feet away.
In Zen Buddhism, this type of mystery is often expressed as a koan. A koan is a teaching riddle the master poses to the student that cannot be solved with logic. The koan most Westerners are familiar with is: “what is the sound of one hand clapping?” On the surface, the question is absurd, because no amount of reason or logic will lead you to an answer. But there is an answer: the answer is who you become as you explore the question, what you discover about yourself, the universe, and all of existence. Opens September 15. 'Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man' is a low-key and impressive music documentary that screened at Sundance on Saturday. Australian director Lian Lunson builds her film around a recent Australian concert at which musicians from Rufus Wainwright to Jarvis Cocker, Beth Orton and Nick Cave covered a set-list of Cohen numbers. We see Cohen performing for the benefit of her film, and after a minute, the camera pulls back to reveal his backing-band. It's U2. Rufus doing 'Hallelujah' is a fucking masterpiece.

Oh, yeah, I chumped out on the No TV thing. (See previous post) I had the television on from Sunday night to see one of my all time favorite films, "La Femme Nikita", starring the breath-takingly beautiful Anne Parillaud. The original French version (1990) by director Luc Besson who also wrote and directed another favorite, The Fifth Element. The Nikita music is so pulsating and mesmerizing; quite possibly the best movie score I've ever heard.
