so today that the visible light part of the electromagnetic contains information waiting to be decoded by the people of earth.

Interesting. I have a question though, because I don't know if I fully understand what you are saying:
so today that the visible light part of the electromagnetic contains information waiting to be decoded by the people of earth.
Which light are you talking about though? All light? Light from the sun? Light from certain stars? Light from my lightbulb in my room? Or does it have to be some kind of laser pointer?
Which light is waiting to be decoded? The actual way the spectrums are "set up" (by nature? or aliens or whoever created our virtual reality?) has a code in it?

Astronomers have analyzed the light from space including its temporal variation by spectrum, polarization and coherency.
If they detected data there, they'd have made note.
On the other hand, it does make sense for higher tech civilizations to use higher frequency comms=higher data transfer rate. The thing is, that as the frequency rises, so does directionality. We'd never know it was happening unless they pointed their lasers exactly at our receivers.

Sorry I had to get this thought out before I forget but I only read about 3 paragraphs so I'll go back and finish.
When you look at a star, there is a continuous stream of photons connecting your eyeball to that distant star. That's a connection. Almost like a fiber optic connection but without the fiber. An optic connection? No that just means you're looking at something. But the addition of a conscious observer could have an effect on those photons and therefore the particles they are interacting with.
Now think, the entire universe must be filled to the brim in all directions, with photons. (a thought I've had before but I thought I would toss it in here) I'm very fascinated with photons. EDIT- I should also add I don't know anything about photons.

So, the Glenn Hansard YouTube link is just some electronic music with lyrics. Is there a story about his experience with wolves anywhere or is it just the song only?
