New vid! "I Hear the Bells," The Nightmare Before Christmas

[bironic]

Made a little something simple to ease back into vidding.

Title: I Hear the Bells
Fandom: The Nightmare Before Christmas
Music: Mike Doughty
Length: 3:14
Summary: The Pumpkin King tries on Santa's hat for a day.
Content/physical warnings: None
Notes: For Halloween/holiday season 2013. (Hey, if department stores can put up tinsel and Christmas trees in October...) Lessons learned include: Avoiding talkyface in this movie is impossible; Jack Skellington raises his arms a lot. Also turned out to be good practice in advancing a narrative against repetitive choruses.

Lyrics:

I hear the bells
Down in the canyons, it's
Snow in New York
Some blue December, I'm
Gone to the moon
About to go, and I'm
Calling to you
Throughout the world and well

I can (I can)
Hear the bells are
Ringing joyful and triumphant and
I can (I can)
Hear the bells are
Ringing joyful and triumphant and

I hear the bells
They are like emeralds, and
Glints in the night
Commas and ampersands
Your moony face
So inaccessible
Your inner mind
So inexpressible

(Chorus)
Dum dum dum dum be dum dummm
Dum dum dum dum be dum dummm

I'm seeking girls
In sales and marketing
Let's go make out
Up in the balcony
Your business dress
So businesslike and I'm
Tossing the blouse
Over its chairback and

(Chorus)
Dum dum dum dum be dum dummm
Dum dum dum dum be dum dummm

You snooze, you lose
Well I have snost and lost
I'm pushing through
I'll disregard the cost
I hear the bells
So fascinating and
I'll slug it out
I'm sick of waiting

(Chorus repeat)

Comments and concrit are always welcome as I try to improve my vidding.
