So soothing. Here are the lyrics.

As long as you live, shine,
Let nothing grieve you beyond measure.
For your life is short,
and time will claim its toll.

心地よいね。以下が歌詞

生きている間は、輝け
何があっても、悲嘆に暮れるな
人生はつかの間であり
時はいつか終わりを求めてくるのだから

Played by a local school orchestra…

学芸会、らしい。

According to a recent survey by the Country Music Association, only 50% of the 7,500 people polled had home access to the internet… In addition to lack of broadband, those surveyed cited cost and concerns over content as reasons they stayed offline. Perhaps more disturbing to the country music industry is the news that 42 percent of those ardent fans who do not have home Internet access have no desire to remedy the situation.

Kind of an interesting article from a marketing/sales perspective. I guess the rapid development of SEO, listing ads, and other online ad solutions don’t really work for these people. As for country music event sponsors or CD labels, perhaps they will be better off going back to using the traditional media for their advertising…

カントリー音楽ファンの半分は自宅にネット回線を開通してんだって。マーケティング・PRの観点から考えると、ちょっと面白い現象だよね。SEOとかリスティングとかが盛んな昨今、時代を逆走するターゲット。ネットなんか最初から使わないで、トラディショナルメディアに立ち返る方が、広告を打つには遥かに効果的かもね。

Intuitive, catchy, fun. No one has to be a musician to make music.

Or are we already musicians?

This web app reminded me a lot of Tenorion.

I usually refer to those who can accomplish the unimaginable Geniuses. This person might be one of them. This person scrapped together a countless number of music clips from YouTube, sampled parts of it, and made it into a beautiful piece. New things are always created by combining whats already there. Creativity is the ability to find and combine the different pieces to put together an unseen puzzle.

僕は想像もできない事を成し遂げる人を天才って呼ぶ事に勝手に決めてるんだけど、この人はまさにその定義に当てはまると思う。YouTubeに散らばる無数の動画をかき集め、サンプリングして、まったく新しい曲を作る。新しいモノは既にあるモノの組み合わせでできてるんだけど、クリエイティビティってきっと既にあるいろんなモノに気付いて、それらを調合して、今まで見た事の無いモノを作り上げる力だと思う。
