I used to have serious ambitions to achieve immortality, first by having my brain transplanted into a cloned body, and then eventually having the information in my brain uploaded into a computer. Basically, I had a severe case of thanatophobia. The music of The Flaming Lips, and this song in particular, helped me to eventually accept the inevitability of my own death.
I could type “making” music videos, but it isn’t my music. In one of these three examples, even the pictures were not created by me. So I’m assembling music videos — nothing more.
It’s relaxing, nonetheless.
Here are three such efforts:
1. Murder By Death covering “We Only Come Out at Night,” a song by by The Smashing Pumpkins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8L8pBeI548&feature=plcp
2. “Here Comes the Sun” by the Beatles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXY3eC15U_Q&feature=plcp
3. Three different versions of “Feeling Yourself Disintegrate,” by The Flaming Lips, back-to-back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ7lQ-wRkqQ&feature=plcp
I was taught to use Windows Movie Maker in a teacher-training class. It’s probably the most beneficial such training I’ve ever received, for I’m actually using it for something that helps me feel better, when I’m anxious or depressed.
Am I implying that most (but not all) teacher-training sessions are utterly worthless? Why, of course I am!
