Technically, this vid was released back in October at VidUKon during the
"Made in the UK" show that
charmax arranged. But in between sending the vid off for the con and the con actually happening, I became discontent and needed to change things. And perhaps it took me four months to sit down and make those changes. :P
Lyrics
The Rembrandts - "I'll Be There For You"
So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month,
or even your year
but..
I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cuz you're there for me too...
You're still in bed at ten
And work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast
So far... things are goin' great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
Oh but she didn't tell you when the world has brought
You down to your knees that...
I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cuz you're there for me too...
No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Seems you're the only one who knows
What it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst I'm best with you, yeah
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
And it hasn't been your day, your week, your month,
or even your year...
I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cuz you're there for me too...
Notes
The vid that showed at the con wasn't horrible, but there were a few sections that just didn't work as well on the timeline as they did in my head. So they're gone, and y'know, whatever, 'cause even the people that saw it are unlikely to remember enough to tell the difference. ;) Except maybe the bees. They're new and they make me happy. *g*
And yes, I vidded the Friends theme song. /o\ I was listening to "I Hate Everyone" one day because it's on my to-vid list, but not for Black Books. Except that when you hear someone singing happily about hating people, why *wouldn't* you think of Bernard, y'know? Which made me think it would be sort of cute and wrongish to vid him and Manny and Fran to the Friends theme. Even though obviously they are all totally MFEO.
So this was supposed to be a cute little vid for me to work on post-VVC that there would be no pressure on, etc., etc. And then I couldn't resist mentioning my working on it to
charmax, and voila, I foiled my own attempts to work without a deadline. \o/
And now it's super late, but at least it's become fluff with added fluffy bees?
