Barack Obama and Explosions in the Sky

[Me & My Arrow]

I just made a video highlighting Obama's path to the presidency and his three main speeches, after the Iowa caucus, at the Democratic National Convention, and after winning the election. I used the song "The Only Moment We Were Alone" by Explosions in the Sky as the soundtrack, because I found that both the music and Obama's election and his words were hitting the same emotional nerves. Enjoy, and congratulations to Obama on accomplishing the unthinkable. Here's to change when it's needed most.

I would've used that song from "Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy".

All these new threads are annoying and repetitive.

Can't we just get an official obama fanboy thread to clean up this place like before the election?

Although some comedians have managed to make jokes based on Obama's race, one need to be very sensitive when telling such jokes. Here's one from Conan O'Brien that makes fun of the situational rather than the personal facets of race: "Over the weekend, Senator Barack Obama visited New Hampshire and thousands of people showed up to hear him speak. The New Hampshire crowds were excited, because apparently, this is the first time they've ever seen an African-American." And here's another with the same kind of working action from Jay Leno: "Well, congratulations to Barack Obama, the big winner of the Democratic caucus. Stunning victory. He got 57% of the youth vote, 35% of the female vote, and 100% of Iowa's black vote, a guy named Larry." And now, here's one with a little more bite and a little more edgy--again from Leno: "You see Barack Obama at that rally surrounded by all those Kennedys? Man, I couldn¹t tell if he was running for president or bartender."

I know this isn't completely on topic...but I heard "Believe" by Yellowcard getting some play at an Obama rally. I even decided to rewind on my DVR to hear it again.

I remember that too. Made me very happy. I miss them.

I wish that song was a single. Every once in a while I hear it at different events. I remember going to some snowboard/skiing seminar event...thing and they played all of this crazy footage and were blasting Believe. It made it so much more exciting for me.

haha the other day I was sitting in my office, and I could barely, BARELY hear the violin intro to the song and just started walking around my office asking if anyone heard a violin. It was so faint. I guess it just, to use Chris Matthews words, sent a thrill up my leg. and yes, I did find where it was coming from and it was the song.
