Scala And Kolacny Brothers — Creep (Originally by Radiohead)

This beautiful cover done by Scala And Kolacny Brothers choir captures all the most haunting aspects of Radiohead’s classic song. This version came to my attention after watching the trailer for the upcoming tale of the creation of Facebook, The Social Network. It was a perfect match for this film because in a world where everyone’s social lives are becoming easily accessible with only a couple clicks of the mouse, we are all feeling like creeps in this world that keeps getting smaller every second.

Our social identity is becoming the center of our lives. This is the “me” generation. It’s a egocentric world obsessed with everybody’s lives meanwhile endlessly advertising how awesome our own lives are. Our Facebook pages, our twitter updates, our Tumblr posts, our Flickr photographs, our last.fm music charts are becoming who we are. It’s a blueprint for our identities for the entire world to see. Our lives are now on Facebook, everything that happens, whether good or bad, is constantly updated onto the online realm. Our reals lives are intertwining with our virtual lives.

Life is becoming one big status update.

I just had to reblog this whole entry because it’s just so true. I felt the same way while watching the trailer, as odd as that is. It literally gave me goosebumps when I saw it.
