Too Late to Apologize

TJ, Bennie F, J Adams, John "The Sign" Hancock, and Sammy A.


     Today in Social Studies I showed the students this clever music video, a remake of OneRepublic's renowned 2006 hit single, "Too Late to Apologize."  Created by Soomo Publishing, this song speaks of the Declaration of Independence and some of the motivations behind our fight for freedom from Great Britain.

     "Too Late to Apologize:  A Declaration" is a great anachronistic view of that struggle, complete with electric guitars, violin solos, and John Adams on bass.  Thomas Jefferson, of course, is the lead singer.  Consider this a reminder that in their time, these men were famous, powerful people, and their ideas were both radical and, frankly, revolutionary.  Enjoy!
