“Birds on the Wires”, a beautiful video created by Jarbas Agnelli of São Paulo who saw a photo of birds on electric wires by Paul Pinto in a newspaper and decided to create a song based on the birds locations as musical notes.

This reminds me of the “be more inspired” commercial bumper PBS used to air, in which a composer struggling with writer’s block finds sudden inspiration via the arrangement of birds on telephone wires outside his studio. Can’t find the link on YouTube at the moment, but the idea is the same.

Birds: Alone in his loft, a composer-played by real-life composer, Walter Boudreau, is struggling with some serious writer’s block as he works at his piano. After what appears to be several hours of hard effort, he is rewarded with inspiration from a most unlikely source, the pigeons outside his window. The conclusion: Be More inspired.

That is fantastically ingenious. Now I’ll be looking at birds differently on my walk to work in the mornings.

This was nice but calm down people. There just birds on a wire. There are other things we should be crying about like Obama talking to school children. Joking that actually goes on the list of things to calm down about right above birds on wires.
But yes this was nice.
