"Slumber My Darling" Music Vid

[raloria]

I'm so excited about this post! *squeee*

I don't get to make music vids nearly as often as I'd like, so when I finish one it's always a big deal. Plus, I'm a perfectionist, so when I say that I'm quite pleased with this vid, that's really saying something.




This vid, as all my vids are, was inspired by the song. You know how it goes...you've heard a certain song many times, but this one time you're listening to it and suddenly you're seeing scenes from SPN. That's what happened this time. I was listening to the lyrics and realized they were a perfect match for What Is And What Should Never Be. The mention of angels watching or shielding a child is mirrored in the song and the episode. Plus, it's a lullaby, so it seemed the perfect fit for Dean's reunion with his mom. There's dialog from the episode at the beginning and the end.

A couple of highlights as far as I'm concerned:

The scene where Dean realizes he and Sam have nothing in common and Sam walks away (I slowed down him walking away and then it fades to black and looks so cool!).

The end where the vocal part of the song ends just as Dean is being cut free by Sam, ending the "dream" part of the episode.

Note: I would normally post this to supernaturalvid, but when I posted my other vids there, they were largely ignored. I could be wrong, but it seems like there are certain vidders over there who everyone flocks around and all others are sort of lost in the wasteland. I may change my mind later, but for now, I'll just post this here and to dean_sam.

Lyrics for "Slumber My Darling"
Performed by: Yo-Yo Ma & Alison Krauss

Lyrics from www.lyrics007.com

Slumber, my darling, thy mother is near,
Guarding thy dreams from all terror and fear,
Sunlight has pass'd and the twilight has gone,
Slumber, my darling, the night's coming on.
Sweet visions attend thy sleep,
Fondest, dearest to me,
While others their revels keep,
I will watch over thee.

Slumber, my darling, the birds are at rest,
The wandering dews by the flow'rs are caressed,
Slumber, my darling, I'll wrap thee up warm,
And pray that the angels will shield thee from harm.

Slumber, my darling, till morn's blushing ray
Brings to the world the glad tidings of day;
Fill the dark void with thy dreamy delight--
Slumber, thy mother will guard thee tonight,
Thy pillow shall sacred be
From all outward alarms;
Thou, thou are the world to me
In thine innocent charms.

Slumber, my darling, the birds are at rest,
The wandering dews by the flow'rs are caressed,
Slumber, my darling, I'll wrap thee up warm,
And pray that the angels will shield thee from harm
