DEPECHE PLAY
In 1990, Depeche Mode released a track titled "Enjoy the Silence", and made an aesthetically beautiful promotional music video to go with it.
In 2008, Coldplay released a track called "Viva la Vida". They released two music videos for the track, the first which was a rather predictable commercial band style video, and the second being an interpretive remake of the original "Enjoy the Silence" music video, directed by Anton Corbijn who also directed the original, as a tribute to Depeche Mode.
Below are stills from both versions, which are in my eyes equally magnificent.

YOKO
Yoko Ono is one of the most beautiful people that has ever existed. She's experienced so much in her life, so much negative, yet still remains so positive and determined, and so sure of all that she hopes for, not only for herself, but for every living being: health, peace, & joy.
Everything that she says, and does, through words and through visual representation, comes from her heart, and is aimed at making some sort of an impact on the world. I think Yoko understands that it is hard to change people, and the planet, so instead she focuses on simply asking people to love each other, to have respect for other people and our planet, and to ultimately live together in honesty and in peace.
In 2007, the Imagine Peace Tower was constructed in Reykjavik in Iceland, as a result of Yoko's initiative and determination. It was something that Yoko had invented on her conceptual "Sales List" of 1965, and had only ever dreamed of creating, until a few years ago when it was finally built.
Every year, people post/email/tweet their wishes for the world, that are the buried in the surrounds of the Imagine Peace Tower, and each year between October and December, the light beams high up into the universe and, in Yoko's words, expresses the wishes to the universe.
Below is an affirmation for this year 2010, written by Yoko Ono. If you read this, you will feel grateful, for everything.

AFFIRMATION FOR 2010
by Yoko Ono
I would like you to share an affirmation with me.
Think it, say it, with firm belief,
knowing that we are all one.
In the name of truth, peace and love:
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Our planet is healthy and whole,
We, the people of Earth
See clearly, Hear clearly, Think clearly.
Make the right judgement, right decision and the right move
For the benefit of our planet and others.
We are now bathing in the light of Dawn,
Standing in the Heaven we have created together,
Sharing the Joy
With all Lives on Earth
And of the Universe,
As we are all one, united with infinite and eternal love.
For the highest good of all concerned, So be it.
Happy New Year
love, yoko
