The youth is starting to change

Are you starting to change?

I've had a song on my mind these last couple of days. I finally found a deacent video for it on vimeo, and I can't copy it to here! So you'll need to click on the link to see.

'The Youth' by MGMT. 

The lyrics are sweet and hopefull... perfect for spring and sun.

This is a call of arms to live and love and sleep together
We could flood the streets with love or light or heat whatever
Lock the parents out, cut a rug, twist and shout
Wave your hands
Make it rain
For stars will rise again

The youth is starting to change
Are you starting to change?
Are you?
Together

In a couple of years
Tides have turned from booze to tears
And in spite of the weather
We could learn to make it together

The youth is starting to change
Are you starting to change?
Are you?
Together

I think the video is really cool, actually, and it reminds me of two movies.

First: Donnie Darko - I could choose the video of Sparkle Motion dancing, but instead, you get Tears For Fears and the cool beginning of the movie. It used to be one of my favorite movies - I had quite a crush on Jake Gyllenhaal for a while there. And Tears For Fears are awesome! So... here you go:


And second - kitchy children dancing?!? Yeah, you know it... Little Miss Sunshine - allthough that song is awfull, it's such a funny and sweet movie - Abigail Breslin, the little girl, is amazing - and the rest of the soundtrack is really great, featuring Sufjan Stevens and Devotchka.
This video is syncronised - fun galore!

Love,
Ida
