Festivids reveal day! I made the least anonymous vid I could POSSIBLY have made this year, which is to say an Old Guard vid set to a Vienna Teng song, for

cupidsbow. Like, I could not have been more obvious if I had actually signed my name to the anon version of this.

I did think, perhaps NOT a Vienna Teng song this year? Perhaps literally any other musical artist in the world? And I even had a Green Day song that was in the running for a while there. But let's be real, I have been storyboarding this vid in my head since roughly two weeks after the movie hit Netflix, you can't give me a lyric like if you're out there in the cold, i'll cover you in moonlight to match against Joe's he’s the moon when I’m lost in darkness and warmth when I shiver in cold and expect me to somehow NOT vid the thing.

"Never Look Away (Old Guard vid)" (Watch on Vimeo)

detect my sudden existence on your sonar
you feel the echo
electrify the resistance in your broken heart
and burn it up, oh
we’re gonna photosynthesize and drink up the sunrise

so do they ever shut up because you said so or
do you overthink ’em all
somebody ought to corrupt you on the dance floor
and take you home
show you all your daemons and desires and dark sides
all of your colonies and continental divides

let me uncover the silver in your dark hair
the weight of your bones
I want to witness the beauty of your repair
the shape you’ve grown
for you are made of nebulas and novas and night sky
you’re made of memories you bury or live by

so if you’re out there in the cold
I’ll cover you in moonlight
if you’re a stranger to your soul
I’ll bring you to your birthright
I want the storm inside you awoken now
I want your warm bright eyes
to never look away
don’t you ever look away

some nights we open up the flood
and some nights we are lost
and some nights we’re choking on the words
but some we light on fire

if you’re out there in the cold
I’ll cover you in moonlight
if you’re a stranger to your soul
I’ll bring you to your birthright
I want the storm inside you awoken now
I want your warm bright eyes
to come back to me
and hold on to me
you know I won’t lie
I will never look away
