Alanis Morissette's Utopia

I saw below there's was a post on The Beach and this video uses scenes from it, the song is "Utopia" performed by Alanis Morissette. Her lyrics reminded me of Ecotopia and the concept of community and sharing they had cherished so much. I think a large part of creating a utopian society involves, as John Lennon said, looking inside ourselves, but also believe it comes from joining together as a community.


Here's a copy of the lyrics if any one wants to read them:

"we'd gather around all in a room fasten our belts engage in dialogue
we'd all slow down rest without guilt not lie
without fear disagree sans judgement

we would stay and respond and expand and
include and allow and forgive and
enjoy and evolve and discern and inquire and
accept and admit and divulge and
open and reach out and speak up

This is utopia this is my utopia
This is my ideal my end in sight
Utopia this is my utopia
This is my nirvana
My ultimate

we'd open our arms we'd all jump in we'd
all coast down into safety nets

we would share and listen and support and
welcome be propelled by passion not
invest in outcomes we would breathe and be
charmed and amused by difference
be gentle and make room for every emotion

we'd provide forums we'd all speak out we'd
all be heard we'd all feel seen

we'd rise post-obstacle more defined more
grateful we would heal be humbled
and be unstoppable we'd hold close and let go
and know when to do which we'd
release and disarm and stand up and feel safe

this is utopia this is my utopia
this is my ideal my end in sight
utopia this is my utopia
this is my nirvana
my ultimate"
