these lyrics are what is called 'satsang' in hindi
it means company of truth
 
'don't hide
shine a little light
give up on your pride'

 

Pride...the biggest downfall of humanity...it's a "no-brainer"...loving yourself is just emptiness.

Satan fell because of it and he was the the most beautiful angel of them all  ;) 

Depends on what you're being proud about, no?

shalalala-crap
only a weasel would ask you to "give up on your pride"

Your story makes me really sad too. That dad you cited is Homer Simpson or Peter Griffin as a real live human being.  What a dolt. But sadly, he represents the majority of people who find would rather see a good explosion or unrealistic special effect than something that makes you actually think, or is a beautiful work of art.

It's one of the reasons that I don't watch the grammy's, emmy's, oscar's, etc  It's too painful to see how much of the really good stuff doesn't even get nominated or when it does get nominated, gets pushed aside when the award goes to something far less deserving.

I agree with both of you. As someone who writes film subtitles for a living, I find the overwhelming provinciality and ignorance in the USA to be
a very sad situation. Thank goodness for me there's the rest of the world.

Why did we need an American version of Dragon Tattoo?  Because most people here are too lazy (or too illiterate) to read sub-titles.  One of the reasons I stopped going to our local video rental joint was because of an overheard conversation.  Pan's Labyrinth had just come out on DVD and a 12 or 13 year old kid wanted to rent it.  Their dad said no, and then followed it up with "do you really want to read a movie?"  It made me sad.  Some of the best movies I've ever seen have not been in English.  Some of them have enriched my life a little, as only the best movies do, and really formed and deepened my tastes.

I think a lot of it is related to nothing short of $$.  A fantastic movie filled with fascinating characters and an engaging story does not have the attraction as shit getting blown up or naked women have for most people.  Sure, I enjoy nudity and explosions as much as the next guy, but I'd really like some kind of engaging plot to go with it.  Otherwise I'd watch either Mythbusters or porn.

Miss you so much, Ann...

rest in peace... 

Sounds like the lyrics from KC and The Sunshine Band's: Do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight.

That's what's in my sweed anyway.

Oooo - good catch!  I liketh, too - more every time I hear it. If I go on another road-trip, this will HAVE to be included in my music.

Agreed...too bad though, isn't it? You could point to to a slew of other TV shows and movies as evidence. Can someone tell me why we needed an American version of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo"? I loved the Swedish movies although my parents tell that the books were far superior. 

Even though there's a strong pressure for the mediocre/lowest common denominator in American mainstream culture, there's a great deal of creativity and originality here. Not sure why we can't apply that to adaptations of foreign successes.  

I love this comment.  As an American, I have to say we have a bad habit of ruining a lot of great things.  The American versions of Top Gear and Being Human really illustrate my point.

I got the CD a while back and it's very good overall!  "....if you have the means, I highly recommend you pick it up!"  (Name that movie character?!)

 
Yeah...a bit. An American version of the band, perhaps. Catchy but a bit bland and not deeply memorable. Still fun, though.

It reminds me of the Soprano's theme song.

INXS-like?

Yes, it was used in TV show Bones, season 01, episode 16... Never liked Bones, but I must admit, if it wasn't for the show, I would've never hear this great tune!

Love this song. I feel like I've heard it in a soundtrack... anyone know?

I liketh.  A3 + Marc Broussard?

First listen pulls a 7 - rolls along nicely
