There ain't no reason things are this way
'S how they've always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way
We do it everyday
Preachers on the podiums speaking of saints
Prophets on the sidewalk begging for change
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name
I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing
You can spend your whole life working for something
Just to have it taken away
People walk around pushing back their debts
Wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets
Talking 'bout nothing, not thinking 'bout death
Every little heart beat, every little breath
People walk a tight rope on a razor's edge
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons
It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen
Or a thought or a word or a sentence.
There ain't no reason things are this way
'S how they've always been and they intend to stay
I don't know why I say the things I say,
But I say them anyway.
Keep on building bombs
Gonna drop them all
Working your fingers bare to the bone
Breaking your back, make you sell your soul
Like a lung is filled with coal, suffocating slow
The wind blows wild and I may move
But politicians lie and I'm not fooled
You don't need no reason or a 3 piece suit
To argue the truth
The air in my skin and the world under my toes
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes
Chaos and commotion wherever I go
Love, I try to follow
There ain't no reasons things are this way
'S how they've always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way;
We do it everyday.

The clip choices are great. I especiallyt liked the "People walk a tight rope on a razor's edge, Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons" section.
The vid has a really nostalgic and painful feeling with it. Really great vid to start my sunday ! :)
And question: why this random shot of Atlantis towards the end ?

Date: 2007-11-25 03:55 pm (UTC)That said, I must agree with the comment up top regarding the nostalgic feel of this vid. You can see it in the shots of Kendra that you chose. My favorite has to be that shot of Cain at 0:53. That is so moving.
Also this song. If Razor was a motion picture nominated for an Academy Award, this song would be nominated for Best Original Song. As in, it feels like it was written for Razor. Incredible.

Date: 2007-11-27 12:03 am (UTC)You blow me away with everything you do. I can't even begin to describe how awesome I find this vid. not to mention, like, WTF--the movie just aired on Saturday! How can your vid be that good in such a short amount of time! I hate you a little for that, but oh my god, I admire you all the more.
I especially love the pacing of the vid. and and and the texture of the vid. and and and.. well. Yeah. Just about everything I love.
Thank you

Date: 2008-01-26 06:06 am (UTC)I want to say the vid made me happy, but no. It rightly captured the despair, hopeless determination of one Kendra Shaw. Like the above commenter, I hope you keep vidding for BSG.

Date: 2010-07-18 04:28 am (UTC)And um... Wow! This vid is so very good! The imagery and the song are just perfect!
I have watched it twice now and there are moments that hit you over the head with their awesomeness; and then there are subtle moments like 'A window and a pigeon with a broken wing' and the flash to Kara that you catch on the second time round.
Anyways, this vid is brilliant and you did such a wonderful job with it!
