2009-11-23T17:58:00.006+01:00

The band "Death Cab for Cutie" produced a song called "Grapevine FIRES". The video and the text show you in a very touching and simple way how a fire develops and threatens the people in a village.

The video was accepted into the Los Angeles Film Festival

where it won the Audience Choice Award for Best Music Video.

Grapevine Fires Songtext

When the wind picked up, the fire spread

And the grapevine seemed left for dead

And the northern sky looked like the end of days

The end of days

The wake-up call to a rented room

Sounded like an alarm of impending doom

To warn us it's only a matter of time

Before we all burn

We bought some wine and some paper cups

Near your daughter's school when we picked her up

And drove to a cemetery on a hill

On a hill

And we watched the plumes paint the sky grey

As she laughed and danced through the field of graves

There I knew it would be alright

That everything would be alright

Would be alrightWould be alright

Would be alright

And the news reports on the radio said it was getting worse

As the ocean air fanned the flames

But I couldn't think of anywhere I would've rather been

To watch it all burn away, to burn away

''BurnBurnBurn''

The firemen worked in double shifts

With prayers for rain on their lips

And they knew it was only a matter of time

Here we are...a happy class

Didgeridoo

Watch this ABORIGINE playing his didgeridoo, a very old instrument - he does not only blow into it but works with his breath and his body - look at his belly, he fills it up with air and changes the sounds while he pushes up the air...
