Les Enfants Perdue

This video was particularly poignant to me as it approaches visual estimations on the effects of war on the psyche of children. I t was originally made in a more choppy form following the chernobyl incident by the band Les Enfants Perdu, but upon the release of Angelique Kidh]jo's "Les Enfants Perdus" this version was inspired and created to go along with their reworked "Cristal":

The original Angelique Kidjo song can be best found here(no official music video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lL68iSiht8


Translated into English, the lyrics are :
They are always behind When the wind blows In the back They are there anyway They are the eyes to the ground When other Look at the top They see us anyway They do not have easy words Around We said too They speak to us still
Who will listen to the call Lost children Who will approach them That will color the sky Lost Children That will enlighten Who will love As they liked (Who will dream as they dream)
They still have a little cold When outside The sun is so hot They follow us anyway It makes them so afraid So scared When by chance it touches their hearts They still love us 


On a similar note about global effect on further regions is Rammstein's "Amerika". The song is specifically about the pyshological and sociological affect the country has through it's domination over the world
