Yeah, I agree with Sabby...fantastic. ...very inspiring song. I love the carefree video...embracing life and happiness from every moment. Not letting anything weigh you down. Cast off your shackles...again and again. (I have a soft spot for French...lyrics and poetry sound so much better in French.
"Elle a dit : "Garde tes trésors
Moi, je vaux mieux que tout ça
Des barreaux sont des barreaux, mêmes en or
Je veux les mêmes droits que toi
Et du respect pour chaque jour
Moi, je ne veux que de l'amour" http://www.elyrics.net/read/c/cheb-k...ha-lyrics.html

This so beyond beautiful...this song would be beautiful without the lyrics. The musical elements are fantastic....the haunting crying at the end gets me. It captures what it is to be human....
"I don't know what I become
Floating softly, Flying up
Like there's no more gravity
Body and mind
Different things"
I'm an avid Boxing fan and have been so for most of my life. I love the sport, and have a great deal of respect for the fighters. In 1971, Joe Frazier beat my idol and hero Muhammad Ali. He hurt Ali bad in the 11th round and knocked him off his feet in the 14th. The cover page of next morning's Chicago Tribute showed a picture of Ali on the canvas with his feet high in the air, with Frazier standing over him after just connecting with the "left hook from hell." I was stunned by Ali's defeat, really took it hard. Joe looked invincible in putting down the incredible Ali. I mourned the loss, and followed Ali as he recovered with each successive fight thereafter. I despised Joe Frazier however, and watched him fight far lesser men in defending his crown. Then he was matched up against the powerful George Foreman in 1973. Foreman beat the hell out of Joe that night in Kingston, Jamaica. In fact, this song reminded me both of the ease with which Foreman won, and the incredible feeling of elation I felt watching this fight unfold. The lyrics were meaningless here, but the tune and music reminded me of the ease with which Foreman went about his work that night in thoroughly dominating a seemingly invicible villain in Frazier. He made quite an impression on this young kid. Odd analogy I know, but whoomp there it is.
