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.

Oh, God.

Oh God this broke my heart. :/

I would love to hear your intentions even though I think the video showed it perfectly, I just want to see if what I got from the video matches up with what you wanted to portray.

Totally not necessary though. There was so much in this.

Ow. Gorgeous and painful and perfect.

Thank you ever so much.

I'm trying to avoid getting too much into my thought process with the construction at this point, but what I wanted to do was try to construct something about what I've heard people tossing around as 'companion privilege.' I wanted to highlight all of these parallels and see what conclusions people drew. I did my best not to (overly) manipulate the text or take things out of context, at least as much as one can with this sort of source.

I'm not sure if that's entirely what you were asking about. If you're more interested in my thought process/commentary, I'm more than willing to email you. If that's already more than enough information for you, though, we can leave it there. *G*

Thank you for watching, and for your interest.
