we're the song inside the tune, full of beautiful mistakes

I found this completely by accident. What an introduction to this band. I officially love them even before hearing anything else they've recorded, just because they did this. Everyone go buy their albums. With money. Pay twice.

In case you missed the link at the end, the address is kidshelpphone.ca. There are groups like it in the UK. There's not much in the US, unfortunately. Wake up, America. These are your kids.

And then there's this one:

I've been in love with the song from the second I heard it years ago, and the video is gorgeous. My only criticism is that the men kissing look too much alike, which I think takes away from the point. But the girl with the braces? That was me (only without the braces). I thought she deserved an icon; it's one of my oldest.

I dislike YouTube videos with a passion but I assume the second one is Christina Augilera "Beautiful" from your tags? Well, here's an interesting story: I hadn't seen that video in YEARS, and then I randomly caught it on Chinese Channel V a month back when I was travelling (god, if I had Channel V in my room I would never leave). It was only now that I remembered there were boys kissing in it. And now that I think about it more, there were repeated sections of footage and I remember thinking it was strange and wondering how I could have liked the video if it was so obviously flawed.

It all suddenly makes sense.
