What We Had
It's cold
a plain diamond
nobody's here, just empty space
It's all moving, breathing
stuck to the ceiling, don't mean a thing

and what we had don't mean a thing
and what we had is already gone

it's all
a plain diamond
nobody's here, just empty space

they're all our eyes are saucered to see
as if hands might float right down from above
and change this place
nobody here, don't mean a thing

and what we had don't mean a thing
and what we had is already gone

I sit outside with the rain now
and time rolls slow
I sit outside with the rain
and time rolls slow
but they may never shut off
but they may never shut off


This vid would not exist in its current form without the ever-fantastic obsessive24, who kicked my ass until this was in shape. elynross graciously helped out with the final polishing touches. This vid has been in progress, on and off, since December, so it feels good to get it out of my system. There's a lot I could say about what my intentions where, about where I was coming at this vid from, but I'm hoping that I've done my job correctly and it can speak for itself.

Wow, this absolutely floored me. I cannot even begin with how intense and fantastic it was. The emotions that come through kill me and they're just so vicious. At 1:20 I actually gasped at the image of Jack getting drained next to Rose being saved by having the vortex gently pulled out of her. It's painful then how The Doctor chooses a few to take care of and everyone else just gets left giving and giving and giving and getting nothing back. It's so unfair. Beautiful, thank you for making this.

Oh, thank you! I held back on vid notes because I wanted to draw the comparisons and let others make their own conclusions from that -- but for me, it's exactly what you said, it's not fair, and it's about how some get treated in comparison to others, no matter their individual actions or impacts.
