Words don’t always describe everything. I love words, I love how they can trigger emotions and create images in your mind, some emotions and some images can’t be created solely through words. I’ve recently come across one of these amazingly beautiful things of which it is just impossible to explain why it moves you so much if you haven’t seen it. You have to see it.
So go to www.thewildernessdowntown.com or >>click<<
The website is best viewed with Google Chrome and, as it’s quite browser-intensive, all other applications closed.
In an attempt to add some words to describe what this before you click:
Back in August of 2010, Canadian orchestral indierockband Arcade Fire released their new album ‘The Suburbs’. To accompany that release, Arcade Fire and Google released an interactive online music video written and directed by Chris Milk (who previously worked on The Johnny Cash Project), which allows you to enter the address you grew up and the video is then geopersonalised. By showcasing the capabilities of HTML5, the combination of Arcade Fire’s song We Used To Wait with video footage of the town and street you grew up in creates a very nostalgic mood and feel.

A slow computer – which I know we all have – the site probably slows it down that extra bit, but I tell you, it’s definitely worth the extra trouble your grumbling computer will have to go through. :)
