Lyrics
I decide to postpone all the bad
I try not to sing when I'm sad
And in the end it is a brighter day;
There's just a few words I gotta say:
From the corporeal aspect of my heart
My thoughts are picking me apart
I'll leave all emotions inside
Find strange places for tears to hide;
But after all there's just one thing
There' a song I gotta sing
From the corporeal aspect og my heart:
My thoughts are tearing me apart, tearing me apart
There's an admission to get in here
I have to get a better price
I won't confront my fear
Aren't you suspicious that I'm so clear?
The distance overriding us
Every time we get near
Notes
Oh, May. Although I love Skye, Melinda has definitely been the standout character for me, as she seems to have been for a lot of other people. One of my favorite part is the way she relates to other characters, especially Coulson, Ward and Skye. With each of them, you can see that she feels a connection, but she's various degrees of guarded. With Coulson she is fully opened, or at least for the most part, because he knows everything about her. With Ward, she let him in physically and somewhat emotionally, but she doesn't open her past to him. Her relationship with Skye is a bit more complex, because it feels like she wants to connect with her emotionally, but is terrified to let someone knew into that space
Something all three of these people share in common though is that they have a past they're haunted by. Coulson is dealing/running from what happened to him during the attack on New York. Ward's past demons and his feelings were brought to the surface by the effects of holding the asgard staff. Skye's entire life is about trying to figure out her past and who she is. A haunting past is something Melinda knows too well, and the vid is a bit like her sharing her experience with all three of them: postpone the bad, try to numb yourself to the emotions. The narrative is also about her own experience on the Bus, about how in the end it was the right decision for her and it allowed her to find a new home.
The use of screens, plane controls, etc. was deeply influenced by sabinetzin's request. After considering both a Bus vid, and a Melinda vid, I realized they could be very well conceived as the same person. Not only is she the pilot, with the Bus as an extension of herself, but she's also all about protecting the people she loves, the people she lets inside her heart. The last portion of the vid really attempts to highlight that, with overlays of the crew within the Bus soaring away.
