The words and video of 'Talking Circles' supposes that Aliens destroyed their own world and come here to warn us not to do the same. 'Crop Circles' being their means of communication.
Helen wrote the lyrics in the 1970s and then 6 years later 'Debbie Fox Little' wrote the music and recorded the English version. Much of what the words portray is applicable today.
A great song written by a great lady...
Unisong Award for 'Talking Circles awarded to Helen
In 2007, 30 years after she wrote those lyrics, we made the music video of 'Talking Circles' as a surprise 70th birthday present for Helen, and all of the actors (aliens) who took part in the video are family members .
By filming in front of a 'Blue' or 'Green' screen, the background color can be removed, and the remaining footage can be incorporated into a video using different backgrounds or scenes.
The 'aliens' were filmed in our spare room with a greenscreen background and the editing was done by myself on my old 486 pc.

At that time I found artistes from around the world who translated the song into their own languages for me to edit into the video.
In 2020 we added Italian, French & Japanese versions.
So many singers who saw the importance of the message have recorded 'Talking Circles' & the message within 'Talking Circles' can now be understood by over 4 billion people in over 150 countries.
That's phenomenal and it all started with lyrics written over 40 years ago.
Should any Female vocalist wish to add a different language to the collection of videos, please email me & let me know.
Due to language differences, translated lyrics may be different from the original in English
'Some General Comments' from those who have watched the video
Well I'm not one to use expletives with people I have yet to meet....lol..... but I will say on first view it had me mesmerized..the editing was excellent....the story board was well thought out, the effects and colors were eye catching, the song was poignant, the images really sent the message of the lyrics home.
I bet this rocks in hi res.....so in total, on one viewing/listen....it was BRILL....see I didn't actually use an expletive, only suggested....LOLOL...now I'm off for another viewing. A grand job.
