42.2 MB Xvid .avi at sendspace and yousendit. Big but pretty. I'm happy to upload either the avi or the wmv to other file storage sites if these two don't work for you. Also, tons of thanks to bookelfe, who beta'd whether or not she knew it.


PAINT MINE BLUE

my reflection didn't recognize me today
it said, you look like hell, I said, well it's a hell of a day
cause I just got a message from across the USA, said my
bounty hunter you are on your way

clutching your memories, your mind is a fist
tallying ages that history missed
bloody bounty in a head full of loot
villages burning in the tread of your boot

I'm listening close as the ears in the wall
as the winter comes with a rumble, as the leaves start to fall
and strangers scoot by like pawns in a game
they ought to bow to their ruler but they don't know your name

a dozen wanted posters, each bearing your face
skulking through byways, you don't leave a trace
knee deep in roses, waist high in lace
ain't found a lover you love more than the chase

I know how to sleep, how to breathe, how to eat
I wake up each morning with clothes on my feet
and you ride different nightmares, but my dream for you stays the same
it goes I'll make you wicked if you'll just make me tame

so here's a sadness as shapely as you
I drink to the hope that you'll drink to me too
we got eyes black from sorrow, but I'm gonna paint mine blue
it's the color of the skies as I wait for you

Such a perfect song with the slight twang to it.
:00-:25 – Lovely way to open with River and everyone at the end, but with everyone from back at the beginning. It sets the whole vid up by saying it’s about River, but it’s also about everyone else too.
:42 – Cool flash of live action River next to the freeze frame.
:53 - Love the way you used the pan away from River that fits with the music. Great lyric interpretations through out.
Love how on beat you are with the editing.
1:03-1:09 – Great POV shifting.
1:18 – Love the corpse over corpse.
1:41 – Very cool stepping down to dark the clip before it goes to black.
Leaves start to fall - Damn you for using that to make me such in my breath.
3:25 – The fade there is perfect because it almost looks like they’re all standing on the beam.
4:15 – River pulling up on the controls goes right with the music, which I love.
End - The extended clip of Serenity for the end is beautiful.
