Symphony of Science's John Boswell, the wonderful mind that brought us Carl Sagan autotuned into "Glorious Dawn" and (my favorite, with Feynman, deGrasse Tyson & Bill Nye) "We are All Connected", has created a brand-new and beautiful piece that was shared by PBS Digital Studios today: "Garden of Your Mind."
Do you ever imagine things? Are they scary things?
Do you ever imagine things?
Things you'd like to have?
Did you ever see a cat's eyes in the dark and wonder what they were?
Did you ever pretend about things like that?
Did you ever grow anything in the garden of your mind?
You can grow ideas in the garden of your mind.
It's good to be curious about many things.
You can think about things and make believe.
All you have to do is think -
And they'll grow.
Imagine every person that you see is somewhat different
from every other person in the world.
Some can do some things,
Some can do others.
Did you ever think of the many things that you've learned to do?
Did you ever grow anything in the garden of your mind?
You can grow ideas in the garden of your mind.
It's good to be curious about many things
You can think about things and make believe.
All you have to do is think -
And they'll grow.
Didja feel like going like that?
Let's give the fish some food.
Mr. McFeely!
I didn't order any whistles.
(that's what they call a bassline)
Didja feel like going like that?
There are so many things to learn about in this world,
And so many people who can help us learn.
Did you ever grow anything in the garden of your mind?
You can grow ideas in the garden of your mind.
It's good to be curious about many things.
You can think about things and make believe.
All you have to do is think.
You can think about things and make believe.
All you have to do is think -
And they'll grow.
Mr. Rogers just never stops being awesome. Thanks, Fred. Let's give the fish some food.
