Vidder`s note: So. Ok. Actually, I don’t even know where to start.
First, I always wanted to vid some David Usher’s song, just haven’t heard any good, except of those that are already have been vided. So when I found this song, I was very happy, because I felt like I could do something with this deeper meaning. Sort of.
Anyway, I guess now I really should write about each scene, each song line, and the whole story.
Basically, it’s this kinda tragic story, and yeah – it’s a death video. Anyway, The Winchester boys are in the hospital. Let’s pretend they were seriously injured (no matter how) and they are both in coma. And in this dream-world they are all alone, in the empty house, where they have each other and nothing else. Meanwhile the doctors try to rescue them.
Dean thinks that Sam’s dying, he like feel it, and Sam asks him to let him go, because if he doesn’t do it, they’ll stay there, in this dream empty world, like forever.
But then Dean has this something and he really doesn’t know what it is, he feel pain in the chest, and it was actually the blast from the real world.
When everything comes to their places, it’s Sam who survived, and Dean who...
Well, you know the rest.
Speaking about the story and the song, I should mention that I really loved the title. It was the reason I listened this song in the first place, and then I liked the whole song.
I think it’s beginning to freeze here - I really liked that line. It’s full of emotions, and I put on that line just boys’ close up, because their faces told everything on that moment.
I'm fumbling through like a child in the dark - that one was so about Sam. And I really liked that flash-back scene. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] _hopefullness_ for giving me such a nice advice ;) I also really liked the blend of the to similar scenes, from their childhood and from 101. I think just looking on these two images you can imagine what life they live.
Then, on the musical part of the song, I really liked that scene, because it was them. Dean, trying to get lost in this house, in his memories and feelings, and Sam, who always wanted to be with his brother, he’s trying to find him and do something.

This helplessness suits us
Funny how quiet has slipped to our corners
Worn all our edges away
You are watching breathing and baiting
Wanting and warming and cautiously waiting
- this is actually my favorite part from the whole video. Because really – it was made accidentally, but when I was rewatching the video, I feel so...sad, and I think this is a really angsty moment, because Dean was so lost in his own thoughts, and he was scared, and Sam was there, he found him, and he dragged him out of this fear.

...and oh did I mention
I carried you down to the St. Lawrence River
The banks running dirty the water's beginning to freeze here
- well, for me this lines have some personal meaning. I don’t know, but I just needed to put the deal scene on these lines, and show what Dean made for Sam, what he was ready to do. How he almost lost his little brother, and how he brought him back to life, no matter what I cost.

Solid by morning
And I'll freeze here
Winter by morning
- that’s when Sam started to ask Dean to let him go, because he really didn’t what them to lost in this place.

And then, after something that happened to Dean, they are back to hospital. Just to show that they are not actually dead :\

And the other one of my favorite scene from this video was "the goodbye scene", as I called it, because all those faces, and looks, and...*sighs*

And before you ask me, why 705, I can answer that, too.
All started with The Rasmus song called 705. It’s pretty dark and slow (1999 version), and the lyrics are dark too, and I really liked it. And when Lauri (the lead singer) explained why he called this song 705, he said that it’s just the number of life, because that song is about death.
So, this video called 705, because 705 – it’s just the number of life, Life #705, and, apparently, it’s number of Dean’s life. It’s his story, how he lived, who he loved, and how he died.

And YES. There IS a wincest version of this vid, but I guess no one will ever see it, because…Ok, just cause (c)

Hope you like it, and even more I hope you understand it.
Feedback iz lyv! ^^

Lyrics:

Smells on the air
See there it's crushing the final impression
The stains on the paper
Where words fell like water
Unearth all the changes that never did matter
I think it's beginning to freeze here

Caught in the rage and the fire of things
All the brightness that burns me
I'm fumbling through like a child in the dark
When the nakedness comes
I am shocked by the colour the glorious weight of your skin
Comes alive
And I never thought we'd make it back so soon
Might be nice
But I knew you'd be your own destroyer
Comes a time
And I always thought I'd make it up to you

Here please forgive me
Could we escape all the bitterness piled upon bitterness
Held in the face of the things that I don't understand
Intellectualize over and over
This helplessness suits us
Funny how quiet has slipped to our corners
Worn all our edges away
You are watching breathing and baiting
Wanting and warming and cautiously waiting
For some simple signal to creep cross your conscience
Uncover redemption and oh did I mention
I carried you down to the St. Lawrence River
The banks running dirty the water's beginning to freeze here
Solid by morning
And I'll freeze here
Winter by morning

Comes a lie
And I never thought you'd get me back so soon
Might be nice
But it's only if my own destroyer
Comes alive
And I always knew I'd make it up to you

I saw on your face such a curious grin
As I let go your hand
I was desperate to hold you again
But you're sinking so deep in the water
Outsmarted myself and so easily gave up what I wanted
Solid by morning
What I wanted
Winter by morning

Comes alive
And I never thought you'd make it up so soon
Night be nice
But I always knew you're my destroyer
Comes a time
And I always thought I'd make it up to you

Solid by morning
And I'll freeze here
Winter by morning

This is beautiful. Haunting, and yet, somehow, there's a weird sort of peace...a tragic peace, but peace nonetheless. Their bond is so PRESENT, and the song sets the tone so perfectly. This feels more "them" than a single episode I've seen this season. You've really touched me.

[identity profile] secretlytodream.livejournal.com 2009-04-15 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad you mention peace. It really was there. Thanks for commenting, i'm really glad you liked this vid =)

This was a really REALLY beautifully edited vid. I've never heard the song before, but it was perfect for the mood of the clips. Just flawless!

[identity profile] secretlytodream.livejournal.com 2009-04-15 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
This was new for me too, glad you liked it :)
Thanks!

I don't like this song. I don't know why but this is not my music...

So I watched the half video with music and the other half without and I must say: It's great. The whole story is very good built. So sad and with the right pictures.
And the end with Sam in the hospital corridor makes me cry.
Thank you for making this!

WOW That's what i call a vid which really can make you feel all the emotions that's playing through the scenes. The manner you captured the way they look to each other *faints* It's so powerful, their relationship is so heartfelt. Even though this isn't a Wincest video I can't contain my mind to just think all the emotions portrayed in that vid are only a brotherly feeling. I hope you won't think I'm a perv, but they have such chemistry that is really difficult not imagine them as a couple.

Maria, this video is so well edited it speaks for itself but was really great that you explained each line and scene of this sad story you created. I was almost in tears at the end.

Thank you so much for sharing this vid. I've never heard that song before so was great hear an amazing song like that one.

Woah....thanks! I really appreciate that you write such awesome feedbacks, thank you very very much :)

*Sniff* That's just... incredible! And I WANT to see the wincest version.

/stamps feet and pouts

[identity profile] secretlytodream.livejournal.com 2009-04-15 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, but there won't be wincest version on-line. Not that it's too different from that one...
But glad you liked this vid) Thank you)

[identity profile] muses-circle.livejournal.com 2009-04-15 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Hauntingly beautiful. The vid's story matches the song so well, like it's the final deep breath and exhaling just before death.

Excellent job!

[identity profile] secretlytodream.livejournal.com 2009-04-15 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I really liked how you compare this vid to breath and exhale! This is actually something I was thinking about while I was make the video.
Thank you!

[identity profile] topsyturvy.livejournal.com 2009-04-15 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, man. This was so well done. I loved the tone and how the song fit so well. I need to put this on my iPod. ♥!

Excellent vid (like all yours are), but very sad. I don't really like death ANYTHING when it comes to our boys, but since it seems like that's where Kripke is driving them. . .

Love, Robin

[identity profile] secretlytodream.livejournal.com 2009-04-15 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, in our show nobody can really die, right? I alway try to remember it ;)
Glad you liked it Robin! Thanks for commenting!

Awesome. *wibbles*

... but ... where was the clip right around 2:30 from - after the Heart clips? *squints*

[identity profile] secretlytodream.livejournal.com 2009-04-16 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
It was a maniped scene, contain clips from 201 episode and 402 episode called Are you there God? It's me, Dean Winchester. It was that scene when Dean met the ghost of Meg and the chick actually kicked his ass :P

Thank you :)

[identity profile] jelost.livejournal.com 2009-04-16 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, this is absolutely gorgeous. The perfect bond between the boys is just so raw and open here. I noticed quite a few scenes that I've never seen used before, too: what especially stood out to me was the scene with Dean bent over and the pendant swinging from his neck; it was probably a throwaway moment in the episode, but means so much here. Wonderful!

As a side note, I'm still trying to figure out why yours is the only 4shared account I can't download from, and why I'm the only one who can't download from it. XD Too weird.

[identity profile] secretlytodream.livejournal.com 2009-04-16 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, i liked that scene in the episode, when Meg kicked Dean's ass, but in this video it was like absolutely different, and when I came up with the idea of this scene I was like "Wow, it could work!", so I tried it. Glad you liked it :)

And...why can't you download from 4shared? LOL ok, sorry. What exactly do you see when you go to this download link? Can you wait 40 seconds till the downloading begins? And what then?

[identity profile] jelost.livejournal.com 2009-04-16 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't realize at all that was that scene -- awesome job! I'm in love with this song now.♥

Yep, the download starts, and it gets to 1 kb and freezes there for eternity. XD It's the weirdest thing, and it's only me. It used to work, but it's decided it doesn't like me anymore. :( Oh, well! There are other ways! ;)

[identity profile] secretlytodream.livejournal.com 2009-04-17 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
And what internet browser do you use? Opera? Mozilla? Internet explorer? Maybe you should try something else than you already use? :?

[identity profile] sweetiejen.livejournal.com 2009-04-16 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Oh god! Heartbreakingly gorgeous!! The song was so beautiful and really captured the despair and heart of this story. It was so tragic, but so moving and poignant as well. Really pulled at my heart strings.

I'm a sucker for angst, and you sure did deliver it with this one. :)

ETA: Yeah, this song is AMAZING!! I seriously end up downloading almost every song I hear in your videos. I still put 'Snuff' on repeat! And this one I know will stick with me for a while. *sniff*

[identity profile] secretlytodream.livejournal.com 2009-04-16 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
*g* yeah, Snuff is a great song, though I'm tired a little of it lol
Thank you! Glad youu liked it!^^

[identity profile] novembersguest.livejournal.com 2009-04-17 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh...wow. I was so moved I'm leaving double feedback. I'm downloading so I can cry over it multiple times. Gorgeous! I love it!

[identity profile] secretlytodream.livejournal.com 2009-04-17 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh...cry over it over and over? You're strange :D But thanks! I'm glad you liked this vide THAT much ^^

[identity profile] novembersguest.livejournal.com 2009-04-18 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Lol, well, I'm not going to literally cry over it again and again...I just meant that it's sad, but that I enjoy watching it. :D So many good vids seemed to have sprung up recently--good thing too, this hiatus is so boring.

[identity profile] secretlytodream.livejournal.com 2009-04-18 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
*g* who knew? :D
Yeah. hiatus is a VERY boring thing, so I needed to make something with it :D

Lovely vid.

[identity profile] kachie-kurayami.livejournal.com 2009-05-31 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
I just found your videos tonight and this is the one was so touching and beautiful that I felt I just had to say something, but everything has already been said. I am awed, inspired, and crying.

Thank you for introducing me to this song and thank you for showing me that it IS possible to do an AU vid that doesn't make me even THINK about the episodes that the scenes are from.

And also, thank you so so very much for posting links to dl this, I may have gone totally insane and downloaded a zillion more programs so that I could keep and treasure this video.

[identity profile] secretlytodream.livejournal.com 2009-05-31 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
Heee, thank YOU for commenting! I'm really glad you found and liked my videos :)

You made a beautiful vid (as usual) and i love this song that i have discovered with your vid. It's heartbreaking, even painful. I nearly cried the first time.
In Dean's words: "You're awesome"

And don't worry, your english just perfect ;)
