Please note--lyrics include use of the n word. I recommend reading the lyrics and interpretation on Genius because they provide depth and insight into the song's meaning.//
Vid notes: It's spring break, which means time to finally finish AllTheVids that have been so close to done but not done. I'm so excited about this one, and my excitement is not really dampened by the fact that I'm so late to the game with this series (but so in love with it!) that I don't know there's really an audience for it! But I hoped to make it at least pretty for all, even if not everyone may know the source text. And I hope that maybe, if you're open to anime (Yuri On Ice fans I'm looking at you) you might let this tempt you to check out the wonderful Cardcaptor Sakura, a manga and TV series created by the all female (and feminist/queer friendly) collective, Clamp. And also the beautiful mixtape Telefone by Noname. You know it's a good sign if you've been working on a vid for months and are still not sick of the song.
Both noname and Cardcaptor Sakura were recommended to me by my students, and they both broke me out of an inspirational drought and made me want to create again, and to share both the music and the TV series/manga with others. It might seem like an unexpected union, but I saw connections there, things I loved in both--nostalgia, community, determination, a strong female voice within a community.
I also learned so much about AMV editing in the process of this one, which has been a fun journey. Hope you enjoy!
