Vid! Enough To Go By, multifandom superhero vid
I'm a little below my target word count (though about 6,500 words less behind than I was on Friday, I request the highest of fives) so obviously I made a vid.
Enough To Go By
Music: Enough To Go By, by Vienna Teng
Fandoms: Superman, Batman, Iron Man, Hellboy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, V for Vendetta
I like this song, because it doesn't attempt to answer the question. Would it be enough to go by? It really depends. Each of the six relationships here answers the question slightly differently. Sometimes you can. Sometimes it does. Sometimes there is. Other times, no: there isn't, you can't, it won't, and no, it's not enough. But sometimes it is.
I'm at your back door
With the earth of a hundred nations in my skin
You wouldn't recognize me
For the light in my eyes is strange
It was years ago, God knows
When you strained to tell me your whole truth
That you were not mine to save
That you could not change
Would it be enough to go by
If we could sail on the wind and the dark
Cut those chains in the middle of the night
That had you pulled apart
Would it be enough to go by
If there's moonlight pulling the tide
Would it be enough to live on
If my love could keep you alive
I've built a lot of castles
I've built a lot of blazing speed-of-light machines
But it doesn't matter, you know
They all crumble in the winds of change
So I turned back to breathing
I learned a few good reasons to cry
And I finally called home
Praying you weren't out of range
Carry the weight
I'll carry the weight of you, I swear
Carry the weight
I'll carry the weight of you
Would it be enough to go by
If we could sail on the wind and the dark
Cut those chains in the middle of the night
That had you pulled apart
Would it be enough to go by
If there's moonlight pulling the tide
Would it be enough to live on
If my love could keep you alive
So will you let me come in
Mosquitoes have found me
And they're crowding 'round my blood
At least offer me a drink
Or a breaking of the ice
I'm wanting your anger
I only want to see if I can shake you out of sleep
And bring you out under this flooded sky
At any price
So carry the weight
Carry the weight of me in your heart
Carry the weight
Carry the weight of me
Would it be enough to go by
If we could sail on the wind and the dark
Cut those chains in the middle of the night
That had you pulled apart
Would it be enough to go by
If there's moonlight pulling the tide
Would it be enough to live on
If my love could keep you alive
Other notes: OH GOD NEVER DOING SIX-WAY MULTIFANDOM EVER AGAIN also I must only vid songs shorter than three minutes, this nearly killed me.
On a totally unrelated note, Harry Potter 7b was full of fantastic shots I can't wait to use in my epic Harry Potter/Nick Cave fanvid which will probably use at least a little of all eight films and the song is nearly seven minutes long.
Oh god.
