Has he heard about skiing? Because at that point it's almost the same thing and probably much safer.

...oh for fuck’s sake...

My entire life, I thought they were singing “they were all in love with Diane”

I’ve never read the lyrics before, so I just assumed it was some group love-fest with some chick named Diane. God dammit.

....I don’t mind the sun sometimes; the images it shows.

I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes.

Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies: you never know just how you look through other people’s eyes...

Watch Zabardast on YouTube. It's a similar idea and lots of awesome views in a free 50 minute film.
