Universal

I have never seen anything like Jerusalema. One song. People from all over the world, Black, white, brown, North and South, from all religions, all occupations and walks of life, all ages, all languages. I have no idea what the lyrics are, it doesn't matter what the words are. We feel it as music is meant to be felt, with no intervention of the brain--it goes direct to the soul of mankind. It's a communal dance. Not sexual, no touching even. Joy. That is what unites us, the capacity for deeply felt emotions like joy, and separates us from other life forms. It is IMPOSSIBLE to war or be angry or depressed or worried--or any of the negative emotions--when listening and watching this. It is UNIVERSAL. ONE SONG touches all people everywhere in the one chord of joy. I don't know of anything else that has ever done this! A universal communion of mankind in joy. Amazing. I could watch this 24 hours straight and I have watched and done little else since discovering it. Truly never experienced anything like this before.
