We love the little touches like where the erhu plays poignantly at the ends of some of the verses.
And also the video game sounding snippet after “the fall is near.”
It reminded us of how it seems many people have become immune to the horrors of death, etc..

The interlude is also very good.

Your lyric is spot on - wouldn’t it be nice if legislators and leaders remembered the Golden Rule?

In the video the nods to Planet of the Apes and King Kong were very nice.
Also in video the children working together at the ending is perfect.

One of our fav videos we rewatch often is Playing for Change’s What a Wonderful World.

Amazing production!

Thanks Janice & Bud for your comprehensive review smile That Queen and Neil Young collab was fun idea smile

Glad you mentioned the erhu, I would have liked to use it more but it just didn't work in any other parts of the song.

Thanks for mentioning Playing for Change video, I enjoyed watching it, that's what the world needs - to be connected and freed from disagreements by music.
