This is my first attempt at a music video. I dedicate it to those lovable, long-suffering siblings...Simon & River.

The song is called "Nobody Wanted This (The Garden's End)" by Sarah Blasko.

Lots of the episode Safe in it...at least at the beginning and end. Please let me know what you think.

First off, *great song* with awesome lyrics. The bad thing is that the lyrics make me think of River being ignored by her father, brushed off by her mother, tortured by the goverment, then hunted by first the Blue Hand Men, then Jubal Early, and then the Operative, and in a less personal sense, the reavers. And then River turning the tables.

I'm really really curious as to why you chose this particular song to do a S/R vid.

I was really fascinated by the song and just had to go look up the lyrics, so I'll repost them if you don't mind:

Sarah Blasko "The Garden's End"

Quote:

The gardens end by Sarah Blasko

oh i can hear you breathing
you're picking up my scent
you're trying to hunt me down
in the hope that i'll give in
but i know these tracks better
than i know you ever could
you're breathing down my neck but
it will only make me win

nobody wanted this
not after all these years

still the darkness draws us deeper in just like a trap
but now ive got you here ill never lead you back
for the gardens end is where the wilderness begins
you dug a hole for me that i'll bury you in
And if you raise the dead now i might lead you back
and if you cut your hair i might leave a mark

nobody wanted this
not after all these years
('cos) nobody noticed you
but now there're on to you

you say you are the lost love
but the winters coming and the snow will cover tracks
i'll be watching 'cos i'm hunting you

nobody's buying this
not after all these years
cos somebody's noticed you
but now i'm on to you



That said, and without realizing what the song would be about, I was really excited by your choice of opening clips, Simon's speech about how River had done nothing, that it wasn't g/God who willed her death, but their own twisted, human will. So then I thought that was setting the tone of what the vid would be. I thought of the Operative doing what he did out of belief and twisting and perverting it.

I think for a S/R vid, you should have perhaps have chosen a different song and opening clip, because they are very misleading I know, I know, you state here and at YT that it's their relationship, and the rest of the clips say that, but the song doesn't, and I think any vid should establish quickly within itself what it is about.

But please, if you would care to, I'd like to hear how you interpreted the song. Maybe my head's just stuck in a rut and I'm not seeing it from the right angle!

Ah, Sarah Blasko, how you have me under your spell I do not know....or care. It's a generally shiny place to be!

I saw her at BDO last year...magnificent!



Awesome vid you've made yourself there renaz. Brilliant choice of music, and very well structured.

Tzegha, I have to say that I saw all those things in the song that you mention regarding River and looking back at the video I would say it is more River centric than Simon/River. But I think this being my first video I went about things a bit backwards. I put the video together first and then picked the music. So that may be where the misconception came in. Hopefully I'll get better at this and my videos will come out more focused and more in tune with the music in the future. Thanks for the response and for the great feedback. I will certainly put it to use. :)

Thanks to everyone else for the great comments. I appreciate your watching it and lett ing me know what you think. :)

Goodness, you certainly did do it "backwards"! I've done that twice where my scene selection was more important than the music choice. That must certainly have been tough to find music to match (I know it was for me). Thanks for clearing that up, and good luck in your future endeavors!
