“Open your face and make words”

Words are probably the most powerful tool that was given to mankind. Don’t you think? We can describe, criticise, share thoughts, i.e.: communicate. It’s a tightrope walk between a mighty term and some worn-out word. Especially all the Bloggers realise that quite often. You always ask yourself if you’re using the appropriate term, we are looking for even better ways to put things, synonyms, etc. In the end you often realize that some words still need the proper ‘gesture and mimic’. Otherwise these words stay lifeless and unheard. And that would be very sad.

Humans are very visually focused. On the internet we scroll up and down some pages and sometimes we pause, seeing a picture. And we always rather click on a video than read a long text. Laziness?! Well, hearing and watching are simply much easier than reading. In the latter case our mind has to produce the pictures itself. And for that kind of work we often do not have enough time.

Now, it might be a little cynical, but here I’ve got a great video that fits the topic:

By the way, the music is by Kelly Meador and Daniel Elwing. Together they are the duo Impactist and they produced that great visual message to promote their EP “Open Your Face And Make Words”. For more info on them click here.
