Why Not Band - Why Not Song  music video

"Most people see the world as it is and ask why? We see the world as it isn't and ask WHY NOT?"'
During my second trip in Thailand, I was 9 gg in the island Kho Lanta. Isolated near a deserted beach, I discovered a bar, called Why Not bar. Every evening a band called Why Not band performed. After a lot of awesome, amazing rock covers they always finished with a original made song called Why Not song. One night I asked to this guy if he had a music video, they said no, then I said to them: why not music video?
From this experience, this video was born, that for me was a unique opportuniy to share something with these guys, that made me relaunche their philosophy of Why Not.
LYRICS:
WHY NOT SONG

MOST PEOPLE SEE THE WORLD AS IT IS AND ASK WHY?
WE SEE THE WORLD AS IT ISN’T AND ASK WHY NOT?
WHY NOT? WHY NOT SONG. WHY NOT? WHY NOT SONG.
ผ่านชีวิตมา ประสบการณ์ก็พอมี ผิดถูกและชั่วดี เรียนรู้กันต่อไป
ทำฉันทำงาน เพื่อผ่านฝันสู่จุดหมาย เส้นทางที่วาดไว้ ยังไกลกับความจริง
ค่าของคน เขาวัดกันตรงไหน อยู่ที่จิตใจ หรือว่ารวยจน
สูงต่ำหรือดำขาว มันมีความหมายในตัวตน ค่าของคนคือผลงานการกระทำ
MOST PEOPLE SEE THE WORLD AS IT IS AND ASK WHY?
WE SEE THE WORLD AS IT ISN’T AND ASK WHY NOT?
WHY NOT? WHY NOT SONG. WHY NOT? WHY NOT SONG.

PS. INFO ABOUT THE CLAIM
There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?
Variant: "Some people see things as they are and say why? I dream things that never were and say why not?"
Though Kennedy stated that he was quoting George Bernard Shaw when he said this, he is often thought to have originated the expression, which actually paraphrases a line delivered by the Serpent in Shaw's play Back To Methuselah : “You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, ‘Why not?’". Robert's brother Edward famously quoted it (paraphrasing it even further), to conclude his eulogy to his late brother after his assassination (8 June 1968): Some men see things as they are and say why? I dream things that never were and say why not? - wiky.
