So I posted a Bucky fic yesterday, because Bucky Barnes has taken over my life lately. But this vid bunny came first, even if I couldn't start it due to lack of source. Then I unexpectedly found decent cam footage.

I will almost definitely remaster this once CA:TWS comes out on DVD. And I do feel weird vidding with, y'know, cam source. But I'd rather make the vid now with what I've got while I'm still in this stage of new fandom obsession, and fix it with proper source later, than wait until better source video exists when I may no longer have the motivation to make the vid.

This song IS WinterSoldier!Bucky for me, obviously, since I wound up stealing the lyrics for the fic title as well.

The Hymn of Acxiom
fandom: Captain America + Winter Soldier
characters: Bucky, Steve
music: "The Hymn of Acxiom", by Vienna Teng
summary: someone is gathering every crumb you drop, these (mindless decisions and) moments you long forgot. A Bucky vid.
download: Mediafire (.mov, 90 MB)
disclaimer: not mine, no profit, don't sue.
notes: Companion piece to somebody hears you. (you know that.). Massive Winter Soldier spoilers.

"The Hymn of Acxiom - Winter Soldier (Bucky & Steve)" (Watch on YouTube)

LYRICS:

somebody hears you. you know that. you know that.
somebody hears you. you know that inside.
someone is learning the colors of all your moods, to
(say just the right thing and) show that you’re understood.
here you’re known.

leave your life open. you don’t have. you don’t have.
leave your life open. you don’t have to hide.
someone is gathering every crumb you drop, these
(mindless decisions and) moments you long forgot.
keep them all.

let our formulas find your soul.
we’ll divine your artesian source (in your mind),
marshal feed and force (our machines will)
to design you a perfect love—
or (better still) a perfect lust.
o how glorious, glorious: a brand new need is born.

now we possess you. you’ll own that. you’ll own that.
now we possess you. you’ll own that in time.
now we will build you an endlessly upward world,
(reach in your pocket) embrace you for all you’re worth.

is that wrong?
isn’t this what you want?
amen.

MY HEART DDDD: OMG NOT OKAY.

And had been desperately feeling the need for a vid for this film to this song - should have known you'd deliver! Beautifully, heartbreakingly done.

IT IS SUCH A WINTER SOLDIER SONG, I CAN'T EVEN. :(

Thank you!

This is gorgeous! I hadn't heard that song before and have just checked out the what-the-what on it and holy crap that's cool. Now off to read the fic... ;)

Thank you! Yeah, the song is eerily appropriate for the Winter Soldier, isn't it?

Oh. This is just beautiful <3 There's an incredible feeling of - numbness? Disconnect? Something like that anyway, that comes from the way you use the violent action sequences over this very soft, haunting music. It gives me chills.

Thank you so much!

this is absolutely STUNNING. gorgeous use of music and footage from both movies. thank you so much for going with your muse!

and I always feel so guilty when I hope that vidders will feel inspired to re-vid once HQ footage comes out, so even if you end up not feeling it once we get the dvd, I appreciate you saying it's something you consider :)
