And then you wish you could make fanvids
Caution: Merlin silliness!
As I was preparing some appetizers and amuse-bouches for Christmas at my grandmother's tonight (and you know me, everything I do is accompanied with singing), I remembered this beautiful song by The Cardigans, Communication. So while I was singing it, it suddenly hit me that this would be the perfect song for a Merlin fanvid.
The lyrics are just so intense and moving and fitting and so totally right for Merlin's point of view and the way he has come to see Arthur:
I've been trying to believe and confide in
Different people I've found.
Some of them got closer than others
And someone wouldn’t even bother and then you came around
I've seen you, I know you
But I don't know
How to connect, so I disconnect
You always seem to know where to find me and I'm still here behind you
In the corner of your eye.
I'll never really learn how to love you
But I know that I love you through the hole in the sky.
I mean, with a little bit of imagination, doesn't this have Merlin written all over it?
(Btw, complete lyrics can be found
For 27 years I've been trying to believe and confide in
Different people I've found.
Some of them got closer than others
And someone wouldn't even bother and then you came around
I didn't really know what to call you, you didn't know me at all
But I was happy to explain.
I never really knew how to move you
So I tried to intrude through the little holes in your veins
And I saw you
But that's not an invitation
That's all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I've seen you, I know you
But I don't know
How to connect, so I disconnect
You always seem to know where to find me and I'm still here behind you
In the corner of your eye.
I'll never really learn how to love you
But I know that I love you through the hole in the sky.
Where I see you
And that's not an invitation
That's all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I've seen you, I know you
But I don't know
How to connect, so I disconnect
Well this is an invitation
It's not a threat
If you want communication
That's what you get
I'm talking and talking
But I don't know
How to connect
And I hold a record for being patient
With your kind of hesitation
I need you, you want me
But I don't know
How to connect, so I disconnect
I disconnect.
I've tried Youtube, but it seems that no one has used the song in a Merlin vid before. Woe! And since I've never subjected myself to the art of making fanvids I would be totally rubbish at it. Double woe!
So I'll just content myself by listening to the song again and daydreaming about which scenes from the first series I would use to go with the lyrics.
