Music for the Weekend || Woodkid - Run Boy Run

Honestly I think it is time to move my “Music for the Weekend” series back to netzgeist.org. If you are interested in my older posts, please refer to my list at Google Drive.

Woodkid “Run Boy Run” from WOODKID on Vimeo.

I stumbled across Woodkid in September 2012, found his wonderful video “Iron”1 within a post of Cici Mici (if I remember correctly). And now again: great music in combination with powerfull pictures. It seems that Woodkid was inspired from Maurice Sendak’s masterpiece “Where the Wild Things Are”2. I wish you all a great and relaxing weekend!

Lyrics

Run boy run! This world is not made for you
Run boy run! They’re trying to catch you
Run boy run! Running is a victory
Run boy run! Beauty lays behind the hills

Run boy run! The sun will be guiding you
Run boy run! They’re dying to stop you
Run boy run! This race is a prophecy
Run boy run! Break out from society

Tomorrow is another day
And you won’t have to hide away
You’ll be a man, boy!
But for now it’s time to run, it’s time to run!

Run boy run! This ride is a journey to
Run boy run! The secret inside of you
Run boy run! This race is a prophecy
Run boy run! And disappear in the trees

Tomorrow is another day
And you won’t have to hide away
You’ll be a man, boy!
But for now it’s time to run, it’s time to run!

Tomorrow is another day
And when the night fades away
You’ll be a man, boy!
But for now it’s time to run, it’s time to run!

Monsanto unter falscher Flagge unterwegs

Der (meiner Meinung nach!) skrupeloseste Saatgut- und Sonstwas-Konzern Monsanto versucht anscheinend auf Teufel komm raus seine, (meiner Meinung nach) für die Umwelt und den Menschen hochriskanten Produkte unter falscher Flagge in Europa abzusetzen.

Dem sollte man einen Riegel vorscheiben. Meiner Meinung nach. ;)

Der Saat- und Genpfuschkonzern Monsanto muss wohl gemerkt haben, dass sein Name gerade in Europa nicht gut ankommt. Daher verkauft er seine Produkte nun unter falschem Namen an ahnungslose Gemüseg…

Wasser? Ham’ wir reichlich … oder?

Um die tatsächlichen Verhältnisse mal ein wenig ins rechte Licht zu rücken. Sehr schöne Visualisierung, ja, die kleine blaue Murmel, das sind die Wasservorräte der Erde.

All the world’s water! This picture from the United States Geological Survey shows the size of a sphere that would contain all of Earth’s water in comparison to the size of the Earth. I think that puts things into perspective.
