tdes, Nothing Big, Facebook Sues Teachbook, ...

Hi, I'm Sarah, welcome to The Daily English Show. Today's song is called Nothing Big. It's a beautiful little song by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and was posted on his website, which is Hit Record. That's a very cool site where people, as they say, “create and develop art and media collaboratively”.So whatever you upload to that site, other people are free to remix and use in their projects, and you can use what other people upload. So Joseph – or Joe I think he's known as - uploaded this song and other people made videos to go with it, including one of this very cool animation. The song starts like this: Nothing big Nothing grand Nothing useful Nothing planned Nothing smart, or at least not very Nothing revolutionary Please follow the link and go and check out the rest of the song.
