the universe is standing still
Feb. 14th, 2015 01:02 pmAnd Festivids are revealed! I only made the one. And man, it was brutal to make.
While my favorite film of 2014 was probably CA:TWS (um, if that wasn't obvious), I do think Snowpiercer may have been the best movie I saw last year. Even though it was incredibly difficult to watch.
I managed to edit down a 7-minute long song to under 5 mins for this vid. I'm pretty proud of that. It had to be this song -- something about the sheer relentlessness of it, the slow and inexorable build, the ticking underneath like a time bomb or a train rattling rhythmically over endless tracks...yeah. It's bleak as fuck. And look, ma, I made a Festivid without using Vienna Teng or Tom McRae! I think this is a first for me.
Goodnight, Travel Well

The unknown distance to the great beyond
Stares back at my grieving frame
To cast my shadow by the holy sun
My spirit moans with a sacred pain
And it's quiet now
The universe is standing still
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing we can do now
Every time you fall
And every time you try
Every foolish dream
And every compromise
Every word you spoke
And everything you said
Everything you left me, rambles in my head
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now
Up above the world so high
And everything you loved
And every time you try
Everybody's watching
Everybody cry
Stay, don't leave me
The stars can wait for your sign
Don't signal now
And there's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing we can do now
Goodnight, travel well
Goodnight, travel well
