My England lady friend and I met up with YouTube friends Dominika (YTer "Nika441") and Anthony (YTer "Ajdpadbury") to ride on the London Eye and wander around London for the day, so we saw some great “living statues” and other street performers at the Thames River area near the London Eye.
The song is “Scarborough Fair”, sung by Amy Nuttall.

It's also fun to look at the expressions of the people as they pass by this performer :)
The song is “Relax, Take It Easy” by Mika.

IF YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND MORE ... PLEASE READ:
In the ebb and flow of life ... do you stop to stand and stare? Do you take pleasure in the little things that seemingly pass you by, on your path through a life that leads towards a world that we don't know or understand?
Although not intentional, this video seemed to fall into pl
ace perfectly for me. I liked all the contrasts between the words of the song and the images. Without going too deep in depth about it, here's some of my thoughts ...
In any other world - you could tell the difference
'let it all unfurl' as the bird flew across the water
'smile like you mean it' next to the weeping willow
'and let yourself let go' as the camera passes trees rooted to the spot
even the transition as Mica says 'into broken ...' broke.
'say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in' next to all the road signs - the rules and regulations and signs we come across on our life path
'lonely lonely heart' next to the 'humps' signs (means sex to many!). And the 'heart' on the image of flowers behind a fence
'so human as I am' on the image of an animal ...
'i had to give up my defences' as buddy looked round and I went under the trees
'so i smiled and tried to mean it' shaky as though I'm scared to move on ...
'Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in' next to the war memorial ... and clock on the church walls which is held together with steel plates - as though it's going to fall down - with the branches of the tree that looks like its dead
And all those stone/concrete grave markers - telling us where those people's spirits lay ...
And finally, at the end, there's the image of the path ... do we choose to walk along it?
I also liked the fact that even though most of the plants were dead after the winter break, everything seems as though it's about to spring into life.
We think this world is set in stone ... solid and unmovable - just like the gravestones. Have you ever noticed how fluid it really is? As our spirits are. We all think our lives are mapped out for us and we cannot escape the world we live within ... but if we just let go - even if only for a minute or two, we can let go of the world that we think we live in.
Whenever I come across a memorial, I always say "hello" and "thanks" to the boys who gave the ultimate sacrifice - so that I could have my freedom. I'm grateful to them.
While coping with the madness that this world seemingly hands to us, I made this video for those who want to stop and stare for a moment or two.
On another point, does anyone know how I get better quality video? It's actually an excellent quality image when I film it and put it on Easy Media Creator - even when I view it large on the screen everything is in perfect focus - but as soon as I upload it to this site, the quality goes kaput! Any hints/tips would be appreciated.
