Night Moves by Stephanie Barber?

To me, It is interesting to see youtube comments out of place. On a book? That is a very different experience. I think to choose this piece music piece to work on is a good choice. It has some history, definitely came before youtube but it also has a good stream of supporters. You see emotion pour out on youtube about the past, about what people have been through. You see how music from the past is compared with music today. You see how this piece have its existence today, within games, pop culture. I remember hearing it in the TV show "how I met your mother" I would not have known this song as a foreigner in the states if not for the TV show. But you see the tracks it leaves through out history. Through the thirty plus years it existed. The impact it has on music, culture and people's life. It also captures the nature of us human beings. We like to compare, we debate who is the better musician and many of us, seem to like old things more than the new. You might also question, Hmmm, Who is the author here? Is it the one who made the song? Bob segar? or is it the one who uploaded the video? or is it "Jimmej955" who uploaded the video? Or is it Stephanie Barber who did the filtering? So manny people and things are involved in order for this work to exist.
