I agree with Paul Lambert. The background music of this video is intrusive. A welcome alternative would be a loop of someone from “theAnalysis.news” riffing on their saxaphone. Aaron Copeland’s “Fanfare for the Common Man” would be inspiring, but it’s probably under copyright.
I applaud the excellent work you do, It’s so important. I know this sounds trivial in comparison, but can you please drop the aggressive intrusive “music’? I had to watch this using subtitles.
