Thanks for the feedback Herb. The drums were more fun once they started to sound right, but a pain in the butt to transpose. I split the drum track out of the original and listened intently to every beat. Took a while to do but that's the only way I knew to get the result I wanted.
I chose this song to go with the pictures, not vice versa, and I was leaning heavily on irony and tongue in cheek to match up what I had with the music. My statement with the video is not counter-culture, realizations of sentimentality of youthful rebellion as the lyrics suggest. Mine was trying to say that the beauty all around us is not as appreciated until we pause to take it in, and once we realize it, we won't get fooled again.
Your idea would be great for a video in the context of the lyrics and vibe of the song.
