This song reminds me of something almost Hunchback-ish. Great vid, as always!

[spookyfbi]

Thanks!
Actually, it is from The Hunchback of Notre Dame... An English translation of the French play? I know next to nothing else about the context of the song other than that because I heard it elsewhere, but yeah.

Awesome! I heard gypsy and angsty stuff about sin and just leapt to that conclusion. Excellent choice, quite fitting. (lol Kirk as a gypsy)

[spookyfbi]

Lol, yeah, that gypsy line was the only thing that didn't fit, but everything else just seemed to scream pon-farr at the top of it's lungs, at least to me it did.
Y'know, it occurred to me later that Leonard Nimoy mentioned in either I Am Spock or I Am Not Spock when he saw The hunchback of Notre Dame as a kid, and it stayed with him and he incorporated some of that into his characterization of Spock, which is kinda interesting in a probably-not-quite-relevant way... I don't know if the play he saw had this song in it though... :/

[my_kurama]

He did say that! I play that audiobook when I can't sleep cause he's just so damn ~soothing~.

Now part of me wants to know more about Hunchback just to get more insight into Spock! (I haven't even seen the Disney version, and Disney owns a large part of my childhood...)

Really really amazing. I was never a big princess kinda girl as a kid, this one was my favorite.

I have now seen the Hunchback of Notre Dame :) Thanks for the link. That totally would've made me sadfais as a kid though, him not ending up with Ezmerelda.
