I love it when weekly events happen on days of the month which are multiples of seven. It makes everything so much easier. Also, I'm trying really, really hard to finish US history.
I like this song. I ironically actually first heard about it in a class where someone was talking about the apparently awesome lyrics. I think they say dancer because it rhymes better, and because it conveys a species. (He doesn't ask, "are we humans?") So "dancer" is a type of person (or fish :P).
I've generally thought it had to do with how sincerely and meaningfully people exist. Maybe a dancer is someone who just goes through the motions of life, and a human is more responsible for his own actions, with idea and reality connected. But is that really what they meant? I don't know.
Also . . . I think that the part about "so long to devotion. . . " is . . . kind of describing the downward spiral into becoming "dancer" rather than "human".
A Year Of Questions is a project begun on March 22, 2010, by seven teens who want to be better at asking questions and articulating answers. This blog exists to make it easier to discuss these questions (because a 500 character limit on YouTube comments is rather limiting). Enjoy!

That's mostly what I thought it meant as well^

Since finally seeing The Little Mermaid, I'm inclined to think fish are dancers, too.
I totally almost bought that shirt.
