Ancient Recs: Kennedy Memorial
Title: Kennedy Memorial
Creator: Sarmatae1
Characters: Horatio Hornblower / Archie Kennedy / William Bush
Setting: Mostly Retribution
Date: 2007 (not very ancient at all really)
I have to own up to watching a few fan vids on youtube, well a few more than a few perhaps ;) And while they are all infinitely better than anything I could hope to produce, not having the time, the tech or the talent, frequently the music just doesn't do it for me. This one however is something else. Its essentially a Retribution piece set to "This Woman's Work" by Kate Bush, and although the title and the first verse don't fit, the rest of the lyrics are just too perfect. So much so that I'm going to quote the whole thing below.
The video itself is beautifully put together and the image quality is excellent. There's almost as much Archie / Bush here as Archie / Horatio. The shot of Bush fondling his telescope is used particularly movingly. Stop sniggering, I'm serious!
With masterly understatement the info provided by Sarmatae1 states simply "A memorial for Archie because really...what a damned shame."
A damned shame indeed. What more can I say? Just go and watch it, it's beautiful.
~This Woman's Work~
Pray God you can cope.
I stand outside this woman's work,
This woman's world.
Ooh, it's hard on the man,
Now his part is over.
Now starts the craft of the father.
I know you´ve got a little life in you yet.
I know you´ve got a lot of strength left.
I know you´ve got a little life in you yet.
I know you´ve got a lot of strength left.
I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking
Of all the things we should've said,
That I never said.
All the things we should've done,
That we never did.
All the things we should've given,
But I didn't.
Oh, darling, make it go,
Make it go away.
Give me these moments.
Give them back to me.
Give me that little kiss.
Give me your hand.
(I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.)
I should be crying, but I just can't let it go,
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking
Of all the things we should've said,
That were never said.
All the things we should've done,
That we never did.
All the things that you wanted from me.
All the things that you needed from me.
All the things that we should've given,
But I didn't.
Oh, darling, make it go
Just make it go away now
Just make it go away.
