A little music video project I did for history class! I’m not entirely happy with it so I might be making more, as it’s not due for a few weeks and I managed to finish this one in hardly over a day.
This song was originally written by Ian Campbell, and it was covered by S&G in 1964 on their first album, Wednesday Morning, 3AM. It’s a beautifully haunting song, its happy melody belying a very dark message about the terror of atomic warfare.
In this video I used it to show the terrible bombing of Hiroshima at the tail-end of the Second World War, which immediately killed 80,000 people and eventually tens of thousands more due to radiation exposure. Three days later, a second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, instantly killing 40,000.
Lyrics:
The sun is burning in the sky
Strands of clouds go slowly drifting by
In the park the lazy bees
Are droning in the flowers among the trees
And the sun burns in the sky
Now the sun is in the West
Little kids go home to take their rest
And the couples in the park
Are holdin’ hands and waitin’ for the dark
And the sun is in the West
Now the sun is sinking low
Children play and know it’s time to go
High above a spot appears
A little blossom blooms and then draws near
And the sun is sinking low
Now the sun has come to Earth
Shrouded in a mushroom cloud of death
Death comes in a blinding flash
Of hellish heat and leaves a smear of ash
And the sun has come to Earth
Now the sun has disappeared
All is darkness, anger, pain and fear
Twisted, sightless wrecks of men
Go groping on their knees and cry in pain
And the sun has disappeared
