Lyrics

Little airplane in the sky
You point up at it
I watch your face as you watch it go by
Everything is perfect.

Where would I be right now
If all my dreams had come true?
Deep down I know somehow
I'd have never seen your face
This world would be a different place
Darling there's no way to know
Which way your heart will go.

Summer sun on a sandy slide
Silver swing set shining
How can life feel so alive
And still feel like dying?

Where would I be right now
If all my dreams had come true?
Deep down I know somehow
I'd have never seen your face
This world would be a different place
Darling there's no way to know
Which way your heart will go.

A stack of books beside our bed
Living out of boxes
Why does the empty space fill with dread?
Why does change still shock us?

Where would we be right now
If all our dreams had come true?
Deep down I know somehow
I'd have never seen your face
This world would be a different place
Darling there's no way to know
Which way your heart will go
Which way your heart will go.


Notes:

Once upon a time wordstrings requested a vid. I thank her for her patience and indulgence in the process. She was also very kind when I fannishly gushed all over her and spammed her inbox. Repeatedly. But! Sometimes crazy people deserve nice things. :)

For those who haven't read wordstrings's incomparable Sherlock BBC fanfic, The Paradox Series -- you really, really should.

Gorgeous cutting on this one, so elegant and precise!!

[mresundance]

Thank you! I'm chuffed you found the editing elegant and precise. That's high praise coming from you. :}

(OMG, IS IT VVC YET?)

[obsessive24]

I really enjoyed how this was put together. Lovely work! And thanks for tweeting the DW link as well, didn't want to wait until LJ was back up before I could watch the vid :)

[mresundance]

Thank you; "lovely" is good to hear!

Livejournal is ass sometimes. When things like this happen it makes me very glad to be on dreamwidth. :)

[venturous]

lovely. no wonder wordstrings was pleased.

[mresundance]

Was she? I wouldn't know because lj has been like ASS for the last 24 + hours and not working. >.<

But pardon my rant! Thank you kindly. :)

[tardis_stowaway]

This is gorgeous and so moving.

[mresundance]

Heeh, thank you very much!

[sue_chose_this]

I greatly enjoyed this - I'm going 'Yes - aww bless them :)'. This is a good thing :D

[mresundance]

:D Even when Sherlock does Not Good Things, I still want to pat him on the head a little and say "bless your heart dear, you can try again tomorrow".

Thank you thank you!

[hammerxsword]

Oh wonderful! Lovely spot-on editing, and I love how you took in so much of the show and their relationship. :D

[mresundance]

Thank you! I tried to use footage that hadn't been used so much for the vid. So glad you enjoyed it!

[giandujakiss]

Oh, that was lovely - I really liked how you showed them bonding. (BTW, you don't list a password for the Vimeo version; just letting you know in case that was accidental).

[mresundance]

You must have caught the post when it LJ was hiccuping and I couldn't edit it or it was being weird/whatever. The password has been up with the vimeo stream, but I did stop linking the vimeo stream because the audio and parts of the video were off on vimeo, alas. :/

But thank you. And thank you for stopping by to comment!

[argyle4eva]

Oh, yes, so *them*. Great job! :D

[mresundance]

Thanks! I'm happy you thought it was true to the characters. :)
