Second Years Research for Now. Here. This.

More Life song meaning:

The song is about the wanting of more. Wanting more than what you actually need. One of the
characters lines goes from “I want a dog which can take care of itself” to “I want to be confident,
brave and successful”. Yes, the songs about what you want, but it’s really about taking a step back
and looking at the bigger picture.

Clocks meaning (scene before Penny Words):

Penny Words the Grandma’s time has ran out. The Clock of the Long Now chimes once every
millennium and it links in with time as the whole show links in with time and how much time we
have left.

Significance of being a clock:

Time is always running out. Because everyone has an eternal everyone comes together in the scene
to create The Clock of the Long Now. This scene is created using physical theatre.

Clocking of the Long Now research:

The Clock of the Long Now, also called the 10,000-year clock, is a mechanical clock under
construction that is designed to keep time for 10,000 years. It is being built by the Long Now
Foundation. A two-meter prototype is on display at the Science Museum in London. As of June
2018, two more prototypes are on display at The Long Now Museum & Store at Fort Mason
Center in San Francisco.

The project was conceived by Danny Hillis in 1986. The first prototype of the clock began
working on December 31, 1999, just in time to display the transition to the year 2000. At midnight
on New Year's Eve, the date indicator changed from 01999 to 02000, and the chime struck twice.
