LYRICS
you
you know how to get me so low
my heart had a crash when we spoke
I can't fix what you broke
and you
you always have a reason
again and again this feeling
why do I give in
and I always was
oh always
was one for crying
I always was one for tears
the sun's getting cold it's snowing
looks like an early winter
for us
looks like an early winter
for us
an early winter
oh I need you to turn me over
it's said
the map of the world is on you
the moon gravitates around you
the seasons escape you
and I always was
oh always
was one for crying
I always was one for tears
no I never was
oh never
was one for lying
you lied to me all these years
the sun's getting cold it's snowing
looks like an early winter
for us
looks like an early winter
for us
it hurts and I can't remember
sunlight
an early winter
for us
the leaves are changing color
Woohoo, my third vid! And hey, it's only been a year since I posted my last one! Okay, totally lame I know, but I'm kinda hoping the more I do this the faster I'll get. I started this vid in January 2008 whilst being completely overcome by my smushy feelings towards Lexie Grey. This is the first case where I knew the vid I wanted to make and actually had to search for a song to use, instead of the song serving as the main inspiration. I went through a whole bunch of music and settled on "Early Winter", which is maybe my favorite Gwen Stefani song. I actually had included it on my Grey's Anatomy fanmix that I made awhile back, although that was during season 3 so I envisioned it as an Addison/Derek song. It actually ended up working for this vid better than I had expected, and due to its lyrics ended up dragging a lot more Meredith into the vid than I had been originally planning. While Lexie is certainly the main focus, it ended up being impossible to not feature her relationship with Meredith as a big part of it. And then it kind of worked great with the song, and hence the turnout became much more Lexie/Meredith (sisterly or, um, otherwise!). This was also the first time that I did my own audio editing for a vid (thanks, digital art class!). Nothing drastic, but I cut out the whole bridge and half of a chorus in the middle of the song to tighten it up (the original is 4 1/2 minutes long). And if you didn't notice it, then I did my job right! ;) My other big step with this vid (uh, besides stepping out of BSG vidding!) was learning and vidding with a whole new program. I made the switch from WMM to Ulead with this one, and although there was a learning curve, I'm very happy with the new program! I knew that I wanted to learn it before doing my intense VVC Premieres vid, so doing this relatively simple vid on it was a great way to start. I also used a few vidding techniques that I hadn't used before, such as playing with the speed of clips and moving away from having to vid to the beat. Loosening up in that sense was a great relief and I feel like the vid is better because of it. My favorite section is definitely the second verse, which turned out much cooler than I expected! And if there's one thing I don't like it would be the amount of basic close up shots, but maybe I can partly blame the source material for that one? ;) In the end, I know this is not the most impressive or fancy vid ever, but I had a lot of fun making it and I only had a half-season's worth of episodes to work with after all... anyways, I hope you enjoy watching it and please leave some feedback!
