Deep breath, deep breath–
I can’t take it.
I need to tell you what’s on my mind
I’ve heard the questions you ask people
They’re very, terribly, unbelievably mind numbing
May I ask you, I’m begging you, please improve the style, please change the questions
Who wants to know if Beijing is sexy or not?
You should ask
Pollution-related questions
Where did the factories go?
From your videos
We all know
How to use a bus in Beijing
And that there’s a difference between Northern and Southern Chinese men.
Notherners win! Northerns win!
This isn’t the people’s voice
Don’t get angry at me,
I’m just speaking my mind
Go on and continue entertaining if you like
Entertaining
Entertaining
Entertaining
Let me tell you, the world has
Some big problems, I’m hoping to entrust this to you
Whether you will accept it, I don’t know
God Damnit~
Think about the people, help the people, sexy’s second, understand?
Weddings aren’t a big issue, you know life’s full of troubles — shouldn’t your work reflect that?
The most anticipated video of the summer is now LIVE.
In totally there is around 850 names, give or take a few.
ONLY PEOPLE WHO PROPERLY LEFT A COMMENT WITH THERE NAME ON MY LAST VIDEO (THE PROPOSAL) WILL BE IN THIS VIDEO.
Note:
All names that are in the comments section of my last video (the proposal) are in this video somewhere. If you name is at the beginning of the comments section, you’ll be in the beginning of the video and vise versa for the rest. There are only a few names which might be in odd places due to changes in editing. Look for the people whos names are around yours and you’ll most likely find it. Also, a couple might be blurred and hard to read so I am sorry. If you think your names is blurred let me know in the comments and I can confirm it. Also try watching higher quality. It might take you a couple watches to be able to spot your name but I promise its in there. Try looking at the notebook, fridge, backpack or the fast moving names in the dance video since they got blurred when I transferred the video to youtube. If you cannot find your name after a couple of watches, PLEASE CHECK TO SEE IF YOUR NAME IS EVEN IN THE COMMENTS SECTION. THEN message me and I’ll find it for you.
p.s. If you see your name, let me know in the comments where abouts!! 🙂 And so everyone else can know as well 🙂
This is still very rough around the edges. It isn’t finished. I kinda made up the ending on the spot each time I tried to record this so it’s not how it will eventually sound. But this will have to do for now. x
P.S. Ahhhh PHOTOBOOTH. To hell with your out of sync, pixel-ly tomfoolery! Also, if you watch this in high quality i won’t be so blurry.
LYYYY–RRRRRR—IIIII—-CCC—SSSU
“You and me,”
Said the raindrop to the seed
“WE’ll make a winning team won’t we?
Cause when I fall down
You’ll become a pretty flower
And I’ll be finally free
From the shackles of this cloud
And the sun will shine
And we’ll make the most of life
Come, we haven’t got much time
‘Cause all living things must die
But I will nurture you
‘Til your petals turn to white
And you will hold me close
Until the last drop of me dries”
‘Cause you and me
We have each other
And that’s all we need
The place I’ll call my home
Is anywhere that you will be
You and me
We’ll never make a mark on the shape of history
But I’m glad you came to make your mark on me
So darling when I lie down
I hope you’ll be around
To lay your roses down over me
‘Cause I’d never keep
To watch you fall asleep
I wouldn’t last the day
Without you standing next to me
Through a satellite lens
We are just a tiny speck
Oh, of little consequence
In the greater scheme of things
But from down here
In our private little sphere
The colours are in focus
And the picture’s crystal clear
‘Cause you and me
We’ve got each other
And that’s all we need
The place I’ll call my home
Is anywhere that you will be
You and me
We’ll never make a mark on the shape of history
But I’m glad you came to make your mark on me
