Yes, this is a great song and all but there is real history behind it.. About a man named George Melies from Paris. He was the creator of one of the first films called, A Trip to the Moon, this film is the film that plays in the music video. Melies was a pioneer of cinema, the first man to realize you could put your dreams into film, as many have said, he took cinema to what they considered in 1902, a new level of sophistication. However after WWI had came the taste of the people had change, but he had not changed with it, no one was interested in his films of dreams anymore. He no longer believed in himself, so him and his wife sold the films and tried to forget. But this man changed the world of cinema, and look how cinema has changed our lives today, how much our lives revolve around it; yet the man lost his belief in himself, something no one ever should......"And you know you're never sure But you're sure you could be right If you held yourself up to the light"...... "Tonight The impossible is possible Tonight Believe in me as I believe in you Tonight".............. Amazing what makes it so far into the future isn't it... |

| yes it is a great song and all but there is real meaning and incredible history behind this song. The film playing in the background is one of the first films, by George M`elies from Paris. It is called A trip to the moon. He took cinema to what they considered a new level of sophistication. George Melies was the first film maker to realize he could put dreams on film, rather than reality. However when WWI came the soldiers had seen, well, horrible reality, and the film maker could not change with their taste so he gave up on himself and stopped making films even though they had been of the utmost inspiration and progress. This song is about pushing through and persevering, to believe in yourself and bring all your new ideas into this hectic world...." though you know your never sure, but your sure you could be right, if you held yourself up to the light... believe in me as i believe in you....tonight.....the impossible is possible tonight..." | |
