I heard this song of Brian Eno for the first time when I watched the Italian movie, 'The Son's Room'. The movie is a beautiful one, and I recommend it. This song, played towards the end of the movie, especially impressed me for it seems to strike a chord somewhere deep down in our heart, captivating us with its metaphysical appeal.
BY THIS RIVER
Here we are
Stuck by this river,
You and I
Underneath a sky that’s ever falling down, down, down
Ever falling down.
Through the day
As if on an ocean
Waiting here,
Always failing to remember why we came, came, came:
I wonder why we came.
You talk to me
as if from a distance
And I reply
With impressions chosen from another time, time, time,
From another time.

You can watch some of them if you want.
Addy, one who watches movies is not a nerd, but one whose only dream is to score the highest in every insignificant exam and then goes lying about his grades is definitely one of that kind. How are things at Stan?
err watching movies which I don't understand is also nerdy. When did you last watch a govinda movie?
