Fanvid: The Ghosts that We Knew
Title: The Ghosts that We Knew
Vidder: cb_eaglemaniac
Character/Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Rating: General
Song: 'The Ghosts that We Knew' - Mumford & Sons
Spoilers: Series 1-4
Length: 5.08
This has been a work in progress since early March - shortly after I finished my most recent vid (This is War), I heard this song and absolutely fell in love. If you haven't heard it, 'The Ghosts that We Knew' is a beautiful song of support - in my opinion, from the POV of someone needing help from a significant other/good friend and getting it in terms of unwavering strength and loyalty. The song, I think, could be used as a POV piece for Arthur or Merlin, but in this case I've chosen to vid it from Arthur's point of view. It turned out to be a mix, though, of the character's usual limited POV and a more omniscient, forward-looking POV: things Arthur should and will eventually know, and will eventually help and make him stronger when he "sees the light". I'm rather proud of this - for technical reasons that will probably become clear (it'll be pretty obvious pretty quickly that I was experimenting with masking! LOL), and because this is a great song to express the way I see Arthur and Merlin's relationship. A lot of care went into this vid, and as always I hope you enjoy it! =)
Lyrics
You saw my pain
Washed out in the rain
Broken glass
Saw the blood run from my veins
But you saw no fault
No cracks in my heart
And you knelt beside
My hope torn apart
But the ghosts that we knew
Will flicker from view
And we'll live a long life
So give me hope in the darkness
That I will see the light
'Cause oh, they gave me such a fright
But I will hold
As long as you like
Just promise me we'll be all right
So lead me back
Turn south from that place
And close my eyes
From my recent disgrace
So give me hope in the darkness
That I will see the light
'Cause oh, they gave me such a fright
But I will hold
As long as you like
Just promise me we'll be all right
Hold me still
Bury my heart on the cold
Hold me still
Bury my heart on the cold
So give me hope in the darkness
That I will see the light
'Cause oh, they gave me such a fright
But I will hold on as long as you like
Just promise me we'll be all right
But the ghosts that we knew
Will flicker from view
And we'll live a long life
