sisabetI am freaking overwhelmed right now. I think ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
heres_luck has broken me. I really am amazed and blessed and remember how I am always going on about how wonderful my friends are? I do not exaggerate. Not at all. My friends are FREAKING INCREDIBLE PEOPLE. And they are smart and loving and giving and OMG h.l. made a DUE SOUTH VIDEO, y'all. A KOWALSKI/FRASER slash video that is so perfect and moving and she captures the motivations of Fraser, this essentialness to him that can allow him to say he is utterly alone and in a space devoid of human life, when he is in CHICAGO. Because he is isolated. This world that he is working on does keep him miles away - it, however; is his privilege to lie awake at night and think about what he's lost (and hope for what might be found). He is right there but unreachable and WOOBIE and so wonderful and YOU KNOW THAT I WILL. AND OMG THIS SONG!!!
Okay let me tell you about this song: here's luck put this song on the first Blue Plate mix she made for me (and that mix? AMAZING) and I actually reviewed the mix here. But this is what I said about the song she used:
At Vividcon, the aesthetics panel concentrated on synesthesia. I don’t have it, well I might have it a bit – to the extent that all extremely visual people do "see" things when listening to music. I can’t tell you the color of most songs though – there are a few that I see. I also don’t see letters in colors. I can tell you that I do see people’s names spelled out – and Anne is totally different in my head than Ann. Totally different names. But that is not the same thing at all. this song however I experience as a feeling. This song moves. Actually, not at first. First it drops you out in the middle of nowhere – there are ending horizens and vistas and it is twilight. Then it picks you up, but not too far off the ground, if you fell it would only be a few feet. Then, whoosh… you move forward. At one point you stop moving forward and the song spins you. When you finally stop, you are back where you started but up in the air. You start to gently drift down and you think the song is just gonna drop you back at the beginning, but no. Just before you reach the ground it pulls you into large arcs. You aren't even aware when you stop. This is what nighttime driving music should be. The lyrics (although very evocative) become almost secondary and Mulvey’s voice is another instrument. I do not have the words to effectively describe the mesh. This is gonna be the next song I just leave on repeat. I’m really looking forward to it. I don’t think I could ever even attempt to vid it – I don’t have the skills to do it justice.
And I couldn't have done it justice - but I wasn't supposed to. WOW. And thank you so much here's luck. This video is AMAZING on so many levels and she made it happen and kept it secret and I am overwhelmed and very probably broken. Andkatallison shepherded it into being and f1renze can totally keep a secret like nobodies business and you guys are just. WOW.
So go -- get the vid and tell her what you think. Tell your friends. Tell your FAMILY. OMG I NEED TO CALL MY MOTHER!!!!!
