Your Rich, Believe It or Not


Song: Baby You're a Rich Man ~ The Beatles 
Clip from The Social Network a David Fincher Film

'How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people.
Tuned to a natural E.
Happy to be that way.
Now that you've found another key
What are you going to play.'

Oh come on! Really?

No big surprise from David Fincher. I felt like writing my appreciation about the song Baby You're a Rich Man by The Beatles, I do a video search on YouTube and of course look who shows up..

I wanted to write about the song and how the lyrics are for some reason profound to me and the music by The Beatles is perfect.  But I can also include David Fincher.  

As a director he not only engages us with gripping story and imagery so it was no surprise that when I first became aware of his talent it was his immaculate ability to give Trent Reznor's song a place in the opening of a deep dark movie which begs for us to love more on planet Earth if nothing else. Love is needed.

No matter how dark Seven is I hope you want to bring more light and love to this world if you saw it.

The movie Seven. In my opinion is a masterpiece I cannot watch it at all now, but a masterpiece like the painting known as The Shriek painting by Edvard Munch.  True art hits a place in the heart of all humankind. It's relatable by heart.

I applaud David Fincher for putting an awesome song in the perfect place, again. I love this Beatles song, it's a long time favorite and I love that it's not poppy for a song but still has a way of being right on. John Lennon was truly an artist without doubt.

Let the lyrics of Baby You're a Rich Man reach you deeply. I hope they do. I believe in it's lyrics is a blessing and a warning that make sure your not doing it all for the money in the zoo. It's all zoo.
