Vote for change music video. Music from a concert in 1979, James Taylor, Carly Simon, John Hall and Graham Nash.

Come gather round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
Youll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin
Then you better start swimmin
Or youll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance wont come again
And dont speak too soon
For the wheels still in spin
And theres no tellin who
That its namin.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Dont stand in the doorway
Dont block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
Theres a battle outside
And it is ragin.
Itll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And dont criticize
What you cant understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin.
Please get out of the new one
If you cant lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin.

1. Beautiful!

I always loved that song, and this rendition is one of the best. The montage is perfect and appropriate in every frame... and my daughter is in this one again!

Spreading this far and wide right now.

The times are a-changin'!

GObama! GObama!

2. I'm so glad you posted this - dare we believe that the times REALLY are a changin'?

3. We dare!

Without hope, there is nothing.

Obama's "just words" inspire and nurture hope, and with the shared energy of all who come together, WE DARE to believe and to help birth the changes that must come!

Yes, We Can!

GObama! GObama!

4. This is really such an amazing moment in history...

Dropping off my tax forms this morning, a woman working there saw my Obama button and said, "Thank God he's in the race! I'm a Republican and was about to give up voting."

5. That's awesome.

We are privileged to be part of this time!

All kinds of people, all ready for a change for the better! :patriot:
