I am currently obsessed with this song. The beat and background vocals are so alluring it keeps you on your toes. The video represents it perfectly. It is so romantic and intimate without being cheesy and dramatic. The simplicity of the girl and boy along with the setting make the song so much more exciting. Something I appreciate is that the female lead is fearless, carefree, adventurous and natural, she isn’t heightened to some super, made-up character. The scenery pairs great with the energy of the actors. The most beautiful aspects of the video are the images of the ocean and cave and the actors reciprocating their passion toward one another.

I am so excited to see this film! I think it is amazing that it's being broadcasted for free around the world. Education is one of the most powerful platforms, and all have a right to access, learn, and understand the fate of our world. This is something that EVERYONE can learn from. Sharing this around the world will only bring us closer and fight for climate change. I was instantly moved when I saw the first commercial. Knowledge is power, and the fact that this is given out for free, makes it so much more special and important to watch and understand the importance of climate change.
Excerpt:
By now, you have probably heard that Leonardo DiCaprio has a new documentary about climate change coming out. So how can you watch it? The Fisher Stevens-directed documentary will make its television debut on National Geographic’s channel in 171 countries and 45 languages on Sunday, Oct. 30.
Additionally, in an unprecedented move, National Geographic also announced today that Before the Flood will premiere commercial free across digital and streaming platforms around the world as part of the network’s commitment to covering climate change.
That means not only can you catch the critically acclaimed film on cable, from Oct. 30 through Nov. 6, you can also watch it on just about any website or device where you regularly stream online videos. The exhaustive list includes: Natgeotv.com, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, iTunes, Hulu, Sony PlayStation, GooglePlay, VOD/Video On Demand (through MVPD set-top boxes), MVPD Sites and Apps, Nat Geo TV Apps (iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, Roku, Android phones, Xbox One and 360, Samsung Connected TVs) and more.
The idea behind this historic premiere is to educate as many people around the world about climate change and to also bring the topic to the forefront before the Nov. 8. election where a number of candidates seeking public office—including a certain orange-hued Republican—denies that climate change is even real.
Everyone wants a piece of this pie. I never get tired of my morning commute, looking out toward the city watching hope and possibility bloom. New York City is the place where dreams spark and flourish, anything is possible. I feel grateful every day for being born and raised in the greatest city in the world. It is an honor to have lived here and continue to spend my life here. I embark on a new adventure every day and always stumble on something new. I love your culture, originality, traditions, art and honesty. I feel like the whole world is in the palm of my hands when I gaze out at you.
One of the most important and influential topics I hold near my heart, the right to exercise and read all literature freely. I find this to be one of the most valuable and crucial concerns effecting our society and most importantly the youth who are limited to these options. Books hold a special kind of power, and each person who reads that book takes something different from it. Books are not created to ‘harm’ you, but to teach, grow, cultivate, and empower you. The harmful trait is those who restrict the circulation of those books. I am so proud to say I have read some books that have been once deemed/or still may be seen as offensive. Knowledge and reading is one of the most powerful and rewarding experiences an individual can have. Read freely and expose yourself to the vast world of literature!
September 21 to September 27 is Banned Books Week. To celebrate, we found a bunch of books THE MAN doesn’t want you to read. Fight the power! Read the books!
