and we will be as one people

Final festivid for the year. This one I just couldn't resist. I like reading through my friends' Dear Festividder letters, and I'd very much hoped to be matched on Cloud Atlas as my Festivids fandom, so when one of my very favorite vidders made a very lovely request for that fandom, I had to make it happen.

Again, I realize that the Vienna Teng kinda made it obviously one of mine. I don't even care. such_heights loves Vienna Teng even more than I do. It had to happen.

I know this movie has some problematic elements, but the overarching themes are gorgeous, and I love the book as well, and the cinematography is just too pretty not to vid.

LYRICS:

there’ll be a fire burning
in the temple of our peace
there’ll be a soaring voice for our silent pleas
we will hold our broken circle and begin to pray
we will find a black and white in the gray

and we will be as one god
and we will be as one people

we will find illumination in unnatural light
you will travel a thousand miles without leaving my sight
we will find we never knew hatred ran so deep
such a wide, wide chasm of faith to leap

but we will be as one god
and we will be as one people

there will be an evolution of the human soul
we will know that be a part is to be truly whole
we will know the pattern of centuries rise and fall
we will know that the fate of one is the fate of all

and we will be as one god
and we will be as one people

Exactly! Btw - do you have an opinion on whether karma determines people's next lives in Cloud Atlas? I feel like there is some kind of accumulation of positive and negative energy around each character which increases over lifetimes, or can be changed with suffering and good deeds. But that's just my pet theory :)

Thank you, thank you! I'm so excited to include it in the show.

That's a very cool theory! I hadn't considered it that way before. Must ponder.
