Some weeks back I made a presentation before a couple hundred people that got a very good response. Colin wrote all about it here. A number of you asked I post the presentation, but at 12 min in length its just too long. I'm in the process of modifying it for my own personal use, so I will share it with you once I'm done. In the meantime, I'll leave you with one of the songs I used for that presentation entitled Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield. The Lyrics are below the fold. Enjoy!
I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your innovations
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Oh, oh, oh
I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inner visions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inner visions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
Oh, yeah, yeah
I like this song very much! Thank you!

Posted by: Dazd at March 26, 2007 06:06 PMTrade you a peek at your presentation for a hot banana split. The catch is you have to come to the berkshires to get it. (Promise we'll feed you other stuff too!)

Posted by: Richmond at March 27, 2007 04:58 PMMusically, not my style, but excellently done, regardless.
Been a long time since I've seen a song and video that actually had synergy, though. THAT was nice :-)
