When we were in Paris last December this commercial played constantly and I fell in love with it. Many of you may not know this, but I am still in school and one of my majors is Middle Eastern Studies. Abu Dhabi is not necessarily the best representation of the Middle East as a whole, but I do love the culture there and that is probably a small part of my obsession with this video. Largely though, I think it was just really well made. The sounds, images, and dialogue are so beautiful together that they leave me hypnotized.
Be still
So you may hear the dreams of the people below.
Pay no attention to the impossible they whisper- for it does not belong here.
As a road rises, you find the land majestic, calm,
The space, the air, the breeze, the buzz, the thrill and the back of beyond,
Engaging, refuge, home, inviting but never foreboding.
The beast’s heart will pound beside ours.
As night crackles electric, a million promises are held
Day rewards night with the perfect dawn
And dawn rewards in turn
And nature rewards an inquisitive mind,
In a land where the impossible is defined
and ignored.
