The lyrics to this are quite cute:
"I want to be in your profile picture, I want to be a permanent fixture on your wall, you're so beautiful..."
I have wanted to publish Damien O'Donnell's submission to the 4daymovie project practically since I first saw it last June.
Watching the audience reaction was wonderful, seeing the dawning of comprehension on people's faces as they 'got' what they were seeing. It's an intelligent and innovative way to capture a song and I doubt it will be the last time we see that method used.
Update: Once you recognise the song, how many places in Dublin can you recognise in the shots? Thanks for the suggestion Niamh!
Enjoy!
I've been listening to this version for weeks now, but have no idea who's singing it. I love its simplicity, the heavy guitar strumming and the choral crescendo. It's in my iPod as Simon and Garfunkel but somehow I don't think it is - it seems too different to the one I'm more familiar with.
It was released in 1970 and according to Wikipedia, "when the original album was released on vinyl, the song included sounds out of the human hearing range. This has led to rumors that Cecilia was actually written about Simon's black lab, Cecilia." Best song about a dog ever?
Anyone got any ideas who's singing this please?
