chasing some mirage in my Mojave sun

[kaydeefalls]

For the record, I started this vid about six months ago. And then lost interest -- I have about five other half-started vids from around that same time, it's kind of tragic. And then season 3 of Merlin started up and I remembered -- hey, there's a whole vidding series I was halfway through for this show, I'm going to finish that.

And yes, there will be an Arthur vid to round it out. Eventually.

LYRICS:

Oh my God
What have I done?
Chasing some mirage in my Mojave sun
Don't say every chance is lost,
Please don't say anything at all

In sand and thorns
I'm walking forth
Bare and blinking as the day that I was born
Bells in spires of China white
Ring for an Augustine tonight

Oh now I'm breaking down, breaking down
Oh now I'm breaking down, breaking down
Oh now I'm breaking down
Oh let me be, let me be your Augustine

Lead me now, I understand
Faith is both the prison and the open hand
Bells on low on high
Will you ring for Augustine tonight

Oh now I'm breaking down, breaking down
Oh now I'm breaking down, breaking down
Oh now I'm breaking down
Every illusion in between
All the lies that I have seen
Oh let me be your Augustine

Ohh, this is wonderful. I really love this series :)

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

That was lovely! There's lots of angst and Merlin screwing up, but also a glorious hopefulness. This series of vids makes me SO HAPPY.

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D I'm glad that thread of hope got through.

[such_heights]

Oh, gorgeous! I am all verklempt now. So excited you decided to do more of these. :D

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I cannot resist the siren call of Vienna Teng + Merlin vids, apparently.

[bionic.livejournal.com]

That was beautiful!

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[anjali-organna.livejournal.com]

Amazing and so gorgeous, as always. Are you going to do one for Arthur as well? *bats eyelashes*

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Yes, Arthur will get his turn. Not that I've already started it already or anything.

[myfloralbonnet.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous!

Thank you!

Any chance of an upload other than mediafire? Vimeo doesn't work for me and mediafire keeps telling me the servers aren't available?

If not that's fine, I can wait for mediafire to behave! :)

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Argh, thanks for alerting me to the mediafire problem. I've uploaded it to Megaupload here (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1572QQE0). :)

I think you already know which is and always will be my favorite of this series, but this is SO WONDERFUL IT COMES CLOSE.

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

:D Thank you!

[redbrickrose.livejournal.com]

I really love this. All of these character study vids have been so fantastic.

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[euruaina.livejournal.com]

Oh. Oh. That was beautiful and amazing. I am blown away by the emotive storytelling you always seem to be able to put into your vids. This is truly breathtaking.

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying them.

[themadlurker.livejournal.com]

Absolutely lovely. I'm looking forward to watching the others.

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[fizzyblogic.livejournal.com]

That was beautiful.

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[pathstotread.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh. *hearts in my eyes* Merlin is not my favorite character (which is sad on a show called Merlin), but I do enjoy him. He has a good heart and his magical moments are always epic. I thought you highlighted that really well. So beautiful!

I cannot WAIT for your Arthur vid. *bounces*

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

[sol-se.livejournal.com]

That was really, really beautiful! Oh, Merlin! ♥

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[tearful-eye.livejournal.com]

oh merlin ... this is really beautiful, i love it <3

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[trinity_clare]

Oh, Merlin.

(My ipod coughed up "Antebellum" this morning and I suddenly got the urge to wander over and see if there was an Arthur vid yet. Now I suppose I'll have to rewatch the other three instead. My life, so hard.)

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Sorry! There will be an Arthur vid, I swear. It's started and everything. Just...not yet. :/

[trinity_clare]

No rush! I am perfectly content to wait. :D
