Hmm? I'm thinking that if Laurie and Peter truly made "art" here, then it's best open to personal interpretations?

Interesting video "interpretation". But the song is so far away from your religious symbolism. Your evangelical campaign fails. Sorry.

I like this video interpretation. Thank you for sharing. I even thought the religious srpinklings added to the abstract. Art is humanities. "I see picutres of people falling down", I interpret that some people see Falling down as sinning.

Thanks. Also note the 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit vs. the 7 Deadly Sins. There's a lot more subtle imagery. Check out some of my other Films as well.

no difference? i can't believe you've actually paid attention. however, i do think the christianist interpretation is valid.

Reinterpreting this Laurie Anderson song in a Christian context is sort of implausible... but cool. Go, Nic, go. High five.

Thanks Dave. Kinda like putting a square peg in a round hole? Then again, that's the fun of my "Imaginings"?? Like an optical illusion, do you see the goblet or the faces? Depends, I guess, on what each of us bring to the table.

It's just "pictures of people". Not pictures of evil. There is no "intended" Christian context in this song. If you look hard enough you can find any context you like in eveything.

Wasn't looking for anything. I thought I heard them interchanging people and evil. It just sounded like a good rhyme regardless.
