CYMBALS- “THE NATURAL WORLD”
About the choreographer:
Director – Miles Langley
“I knew Jaime Flor (Dancer/Choreographer) while growing up (he was my parent’s lodger in Paris). He was selected by a French dance school to come and train in contemporary dance and has since had a career as a dancer in Paris. I saw him dance a few times back then, and you could tell he had something unique. Much later, I had the crazy idea of having him dance to one of our songs, and I’m a bit overwhelmed that we actually managed to make it all happen, and by the end result. We talked through the lyrics and had long conversations about what they might mean, and Jaime built up the choreography closely inspired by the song. Having left Paris a while ago, it felt like a reconnection with a former part of myself, shouting through the lyrics in French around East London with my old friend.” – Jack Cleverly (CYMBALS singer/guitarist)
Lyrics:
I want to know how you learn
Read the papers, read the charts
I stand the can it’s in your arms
While you whispering, I know your sounds
[Chorus]
I don’t know enough about you
To be kind, to be kind to you
Don’t you even think about me
Just forget, what you think you’ve seen
We can feel a powerful thing
You decide what you want from me
We can hear the passing of time
Every sound, every single mind
I want to hear, how you talk
So I’m taking you apart
This kind of knowing it’s a start
And I mean to make it last
[Chorus]
I don’t know enough about you
To be kind, to be kind to you
Don’t you even think about me
Just forget what you think you’ve seen

We can feel a powerful thing
You decide what you want from me
We can hear the passing of time
And the sound that’s in your mind
Well I don’t, we don’t know,
Well I can’t make sense
We’re thinking, always speaking
Just don’t argue, just keep talking
Well I don’t, we don’t know
Well I can’t make sense
We’re thinking, always speaking
Just don’t argue, just keep talking
We can hear the passing of time
We can hear the passing of time
We can hear the passing of time
We can hear the passing of time
We can hear the passing of time
Well I don’t, don’t know,
Well I don’t make sense
We’re thinking, all this speaking
Just don’t argue, just keep talking
Watch these videoclips where art is used:
Candy Bar (by CYMBALS)
Like an Animal (by the group CYMBALS)
Not Bad Decisions
All is Full of Love (Bjork)
What do you think about the idea of using art, a dancer or choreographer…in videoclips instead of using the more common used images of the singer or group? Can you think of other good examples? Please, send them to me.
I don’t even know the way I stopped up right here, but I assumed this publish was once great. I do not know who you’re however certainly you are going to a famous blogger in the event you are not already. Cheers!
Thanks a lot for your comments. I am trying to use some of these topics, films…you can see in the blog in order to show my 17 years old students (in an optional two hours weekly class they choose instead of religion class). I am not an expertee, I just copy what I read or listen to in the media. I also love contemporary dance, that´s why I included that clip by the Cymbals and the very good dancer from Uruguay.
Adiós,
Miguel
