    Dakota Fanning was one of the best child actresses. The expressions on her little face are priceless and beyond her years.

      A pretty girl, a red balloon and a Magritte influence, my comment. (Plus, rather high production values given the era it was created.)

      ⁠@@marksink1652Very impressive for sure.
      Hadn’t watched it in ages, and though I had loved its flowing, gentle dreamlike quality before, I really didn’t notice a lot of detail until today when I watched very carefully after another comment regarding how good Dakota Fanning was.
      There is nothing I would change about this video.

      If you've got some headphones, I suggest his album "Want One." I remember the day my friend handed me a burned CD of that album, and I listened to it on the way home. Normally an album takes a few listens before I warm up to it, but that very first listen was a revelation. I hope you enjoy it. ❤️

    Words are flowing out
    Like endless rain into a paper cup
    They slither while they pass
    They slip away across the universe
    Pools of sorrow waves of joy
    Are drifting through my open mind
    Possessing and caressing me
    Jai Guru Deva, om
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Images of broken light
    Which dance before me like a million eyes
    They call me on and on across the universe
    Thoughts meander like a restless wind
    Inside a letter box
    They tumble blindly as they make their way
    Across the universe
    Jai Guru Deva, om
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Sounds of laughter shades of earth
    Are ringing through my open views
    Inciting and inviting me
    Limitless undying love
    Which shines around me like a million suns
    It calls me on and on across the universe
    Jai Guru Deva, om
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Jai Guru Deva

      Very Good Guy.
      Nothing's gonna change my world.
      Citizenship is in heaven.
      When you're ready to have a broken and contrite heart.
      As well as faith not in faith per se
      For Calvary's Mount is of inestemable amount.
      Hindoo sacred beliefs include if you've done well in this earthly sojourn. Your gonna return as something better.
      And or you go back into the ether. 'Dust In The Wind'
      The Holy Spirit is a person Christ The Messiah is the manifest human face of God The Father!
      Philip asked Him, "Show us the Father." Jesus replied, "If you've seen me then you've seen the Father!"
      Jesus Himself shall have the final Judgement for His 'once for all sacrifice' paid the ransom price to buy us back from Satanic authority. As Adam disobeyed what God said.
      But Jesus The Living and Enduring Word obeyed implicitly from the heart so we could be reconciled even though compared to Jesus mankind's bias to lawlessness makes them vile!
      Crucifixion Resurrection and His promise to return!
      For those eagerly awaiting for the rewards that they didn't earn.
      But learn to obey quickly as the good angel don't have to pray.
      But Jesus Christ did! Amen

    I doubt anyone will see this comment but the song has a special place to me. I found this song years later because of a silly game I was playing with a bunch of friends. When the game finished, it played the cover of it and I felt so nostalgic. Unfortunately I missed the part where it said the song name but only who sung it. I asked friends but they had also missed it. After a ton of rush, they helped me find it. I listened to the beatles version but it didnt bring me the nostalgia I thought it would. I found this after a while of searching. My older sister would open this while we ate dinner and at the time I didn't like it. I just remembered a few parts of the clip back then. Now, she's studying abroad and I'm here reminiscing about her. I miss the times where everything was simple and the time where I got angry at a simple song and not the world. I'll talk to my sister after this.

      And you can also say that there are very few covers that would ever have been made at all (none actually) if not for the original version (put that under "STATING the OBVIOUS" but it gets the point across --- the point being, that it's easier to add make-up to the essence of what lies beneath --- it is easy to make something prettier or more aesthetically pleasing. What is _not_ easy, is having the imagination or talent to come up with the original idea to begin with --- that is true art and creativity.

      The truth is, Beatle songs are generally simple songs. In that respect, they are easy to cover, IF you understand the song. How the hell the Fab Four PLUS George Martin were able to deliver them in such a staggering variety, without ever grand-standing, is where much of the magic lies. To most of the world's musicians, they set the bar too high.

    Wonderful video that deals with our tendency to distance ourselves from one another and ignore our inner child. The young girl wants to connect with the singer but he is suspended on a chair in a drab, expressionless otherworld, aloof from those around him and the presence of the girl. She spots a window on an upper floor and, hoping to get his attention, makes her way to a room containing several art pieces: one of Rufus singing and some colourful children’s sketches. From her perspective through the closed window, the chair is empty and the faceless men are gone, so the girl approaches the painting of Rufus singing. They smile at one another and like a portal to an inner consciousness the window instantly opens, revealing Rufus on the chair outside. She waves at him but gets no response, so she returns to the street, closes her eyes and makes a wish, letting the balloon slip from her fingers. The balloon drifts up and becomes many as Rufus descends from the mundane realm that held him. His eyes open as if awakened to the girl's presence and the message that she brings -- from love grows love, and the prospect of changing our world becomes possible when we are prepared to change ourselves.

    Wasn't too sure it would work without the Beatles' classic vocals at first, but Rufus and the musicians really give it their all here. I'd say they did the Fab Four justice.

    LYRIC GUY IS HERE!!!
    Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
    They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
    Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
    Possessing and caressing me
    Jai guru deva om
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
    They call me on and on across the universe
    Thoughts meander like a restless wind
    Inside a letter box they
    Stumble blindly as they make their way
    Across the universe
    Jai guru deva om
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing
    Through my open ears inciting and inviting me
    Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
    And calls me on and on across the universe
    Jai guru deva om
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world

    Rufus is BRILLIANT. Absolutely beautiful. Rarely does a cover do the original justice. Not only does he hold his own...one might dare say he surpassed it. There is always room for that in the artistic realm. It brought tears to my eyes...perhaps it was the sadness in his, but I cried.
    On another note: Does Rufus vaguely resemble Elliot Page? (Juno actor) Idk. I’ve not thought of Elliot in YEARS, but she came to mind as I watched him sing. There’s something there.

I liked this song so much they’d just keep playing it because Id just light up every time I heard it.
