Wolfstar - your links here are remarkable and a keeper.

I could not watch the remainder of "This is an excellent but heart-wrenching video set with tragic irony to Ray Charles' tune "What a Wonderful World." Curious as to why someone would set that particular song (which is a favorite of mine) to those horrific scenes - it was almost obscene imo.

A big BUMP with thanks.

I had a similar reaction to yours when I first saw that video. Then it occurred to me that the person who put it together wanted to make a heavily ironic statement. The song is used to say it really isn't such a wonderful world.

A lot of the videos put together by folks wanting to do their own memorials use sappy music. I guess the person who did this one wanted to go against that grain.
