Metallica's Frantic. Actually, I think these guys have latent transhumanist leanings. I've often thought about sending them a fanmail pointing out that there were scientific organisations that were looking to cure or reverse aging. I've even considered asking them to sponsor a scholarship or fund a research project. I think that just putting the bug in their ear might be the way to go.
If I could have my wasted days back,
Would I use them to get back on track?
Stop to warm at karmas burning,
Or Look ahead, but keep on turning.
My lifestyle determines my deathstyle!
My lifestyle determines my deathstyle!
Frantic tick tick tick tick tock
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock
I've worn out always being afraid
An endless stream of fear that i've made
Treading water full of worry
This frantic tick tick talk goes hurry

Just do it. I have reached out to famous people in the past on a whim and have had success. Maybe 1 in 10 respond in some way shape or form. You never know.

Well said. I've not had many responses but just one or two is something and has made people stop and think. Jonesguy, just go for it as Mind says.Metallica's Frantic.

*Chants* do it! Do it! Do It!You bet! I really should. Even a bug in the ear is worth our time, because they might not respond positively now, but might eventually help out our goals. We need a sea-change in society to beat the Dragon Tyrant, so little efforts can have big impacts.
Thanks.

Thinking about this here, the cause could also really use a video or picture of (among other themes) something like, a bunch of really good fading photographs in frames on one side of the person, like these except more and a little clearer, and then a bunch of photographs of the universe, things that represent things to come and the vastness of the mystery out there yet to experience in frames on the other side. Then the person could even be like, sitting in a chair fashioned from a coffin, or something like that. The same general sort of impression as this lady here would be about perfect too. Especially if it were like a 110 year old couple and a few of their 90 year old children with their spouses there.

I interpret this as being about death and going to die. I may be wrong but it's an amazing song.

Wow thats an awesome song. It reminds me of something I would find fitting being played at a place like Robert Ettingers cryopreservation, with slightly adjusted lyrics.
"All my hopes are frozen in liquid nitrogen
my lust for life froze me there
I crossed my arms and filled my lungs with cryo
I can hear the future calling from within
Please understand, I've got nothing left to give you,
Until the end, until we meet again,
But soon, my friend, I will meet you by the river,"
The last song you posted "One Day" reminded me of this song. This song is lethal to a nostalgia-free afternoon:
and while Im here, "theres no time to kill between the cradle and the grave, father time still takes a toll on every minute that you save..."
"If you dont look ahead nobody will, theres no time to kill."

"Now if I cross that line and they bury me, then I just might fight I'll be killing time for eternity." So get on the ball with indefinite life extension before the grim reaper hands you the bill, there's NO, time to kill.
Then this ones good:

That would be perfect! As the internet brings us together and helps us communicate with people all over the world, are there not people in the Art forum who would be able to help work on something like this? Videos/displays are great. For many people, a big long documentary with lots of information is not liable to get their attention as well as a short, simple and thought provoking video. I am often more likely to stop at a stall/presentation in Birmingham if it has phrases/videos/pictures that are short and simple yet make me curious. Granted, I'll nosy at most stalls because I'm like that but I am more likely to do so if the information is easier to take in. There was a wonderful and sad animation on the big screen in the city centre a few months ago about dementia and an old man dying alone with his dog. I don't know the name of the animation nor animator but it centred on his reminiscing about his hobby of fishing and an old photo of himself with a big fish.Thinking about this here, the cause could also really use a video or picture of (among other themes) something like, a bunch of really good fading photographs in frames on one side of the person, like these except more and a little clearer, and then a bunch of photographs of the universe, things that represent things to come and the vastness of the mystery out there yet to experience in frames on the other side.

"Freeze me put age in a cage, that tiger's insane."
Brainbox 23 Feb 2013
There's something solid forming in the air,
And the wall of death is lowered in Times Square.
No-one seems to care,
They carry on as if nothing was there.
The wind is blowing harder now,
Blowing dust into my eyes.
The dust settles on my skin,
Making a crust I cannot move in
And I'm hovering like a fly, waiting for the windshield on the freeway.

If you like this kind of music, the entire album with lots of more lyrical goodies is here:
Genesis, The Lamb Lies down on Broadway
Edit: The usual typo's.
