I love this!

I had this shown to me a while ago, and loved it but forgot about it. Recently came across it again, and had to post it.

This is one of those “The World is an amazing, fun, silly, wonderful place filled with amazing, fun, silly, wonderful people” kinda videos. Watch it, I love it.

For more info, you can check out the story behind it at the website Where The Hell Is Matt?

Also… the words to that song are pretty great, if you’re interested…

From the website, the creator of the video talks about the song:

The lyrics to “Praan” were taken from a poem by a Nobel Prize winning Indian author named Rabindranath Tagore. While the poem was written in Bengali (or Bangla), I chose it based on its English translation, which I later learned to be more of an interpretation that captures the spirit of the original without matching it word-for-word.

The English version of the poem is called “Stream of Life.” Here it is:

The same stream of life
that runs through my veins night and day
runs through the world
and dances in rhythmic measures.

It is the same life
that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth
in numberless blades of grass
and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.

It is the same life
that is rocked in the ocean-cradle
of birth and of death,
in ebb and in flow.

I feel my limbs are made glorious
by the touch of this world of life.
And my pride is from the life-throb of ages
dancing in my blood this moment.

I will not easily forget
The life that stirs in my soul
Hidden amidst Death
That infinite Life

I hear you in the thunder
A simple tune
A tune to which I will arise (3x)

And in that storm of happiness
As your music plays in your mind
The whole wide world
Dances to your rhythm

I hear you in the thunder
A simple tune
A tune to which I will arise (3x)

  1. This is one of those things that makes me cry but shouldn’t. Especially when the kids get going… I just lose it šŸ™‚ Stuff like that makes it feel like we’re close to a united global community. Too bad it’s not truer.
