Better You by David Choi

Here’s David Choi‘s latest song “Better You”. The track is upbeat, inspirational, and uplifting. There’s so much truth in this original song. Take a listen. This also reminds us of Jaeson Ma’s 365 Days of Love.

BTW – don’t forget that David Choi embarks on his Northeastern Tour soon. Grab a ticket and join him.

Lyrics to Better You by David Choi

Truth is we don’t know much

I don’t know you

And you don’t know me

We get so judgmental from the start

Saying he’s like this and that

Behind my back

It takes some time to get to know me

And I understand, but sometimes I can’t

Lets spend some time and you will see

I’m just like you, and you’re just like me

Just take your time and listen

Love, peace, and joy is my mission

I wonder what the world would be like

If we all just got along

There would be more happy songs

We’d be dancing all day long

I wonder if you talked to me

Would you see a better man

I sure hope that’s what you’d do

Cause I would see a better you

Sometimes I forget

There might be more

Maybe they’ve been hurt

And I don’t know

Being quick to judge

Is easy stuff

But to love

Sometimes it’s tough

Just take your time and listen

Make peace and love your mission

I wonder what the world would be like

If we all just got along

There would be more happy songs

Wed be dancing all day long

I wonder if you talked to me

Would you see a better man

I sure hope that’s what you’d do

Cause I would see a better you

Yellow Fever by Wong Fu Productions – 4 year anniversary

Leave a reply

Out of the Wong Fu Production vaults comes the original and OFFICIAL version of their classic “Yellow Fever”. It’s by far their most popular short film and it was created pre-YouTube popularity. Who remembers downloading the short or emailing the file around? They’ve uploaded Yellow Fever to their Youtube channel to celebrate it’s 4 year anniversary. One thing that’s different is the music in the short. They had to change it, since they didn’t own the rights to the original music.

The guys at Wong Fu Productions also added some bonus commentary at the end of the short. They have some great stories about what they thought of YouTube originally and reminisce about the past when their servers exceeded bandwidth limit and got a massive bill. Check out the blooper video for Yellow Fever too. Lots of butt slapping action.

Props to Wong Fu Productions for all they’ve accomplished in only 4 years and continually building up the Asian American community.

Skeletons by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Check out the latest music video “Skeletons” by Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It’s creepy, yet mesmerizing. The video takes place in a smoke filled cemetery fused with performance art and haunting images. The song is off their “It’s Blitz!” album. You can get the song on Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz! - Skeletons or at Amazon.

If you’re curious how the effects are done after watching the video, be sure to see the making of video as well as the director’s commentary. Projecting images on smoke who would have thought you could create this effect.
