When I play John Salwitz' Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour, I always play the US Air Force General and use the Aurora Bombers against the GLA faction, and I have this song playing in my head.

Not the aurora borealis like Lana Del Rey or Taylor Swift

But

"Aurora Bombers"

And the GLA fade from view when I look in the plane's left rear-view mirror

I love that video game

John is now doing something at Meta

And I.. ran, I ran so far away

Couldn't get away.

The image displays a scene from a music video titled "I Ran (So Far Away)" by the band A Flock of Seagulls. The video is playing on a YouTube interface, which is visible at the top of the image. The video is currently at 1 minute and 38 seconds into its runtime, with a total length of 3 minutes and 57 seconds. Below the video, there are several interactive elements, including a play/pause button, a timeline slider, and options to like, share, download, or clip the video. The channel name "aFlockOfSeagulls" is displayed, along with a subscriber count of 267K. In the foreground, a male performer is prominently featured. He has a distinctive hairstyle that is voluminous and styled upwards, with light blonde or platinum color. He is wearing a bright red shirt that has a high collar and appears to be made of a soft fabric. The shirt features small decorative elements, possibly studs or embellishments, on the shoulders. His facial expression is animated, suggesting he is engaged in a performance, and he appears to be singing or playing an instrument. The performer is positioned in front of a keyboard, which has a visible brand logo, "Roland," on it. The background is somewhat hazy and illuminated with soft lighting, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. There is a metallic or reflective object in the background, possibly a sculpture or decoration, which adds to the visual complexity of the scene. The lower part of the image includes subtitles that read, "Aurora borealis comes in view," indicating that this is part of the song's lyrics. The overall setting appears to be a stage or performance area, likely designed for a music video, with an emphasis on visual effects and lighting to enhance the performance. The color palette is warm and soft, contributing to the nostalgic aesthetic typical of music videos from the 1980s.
