I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn't very long
Before I would stand with another boy in front of me
And a corpse that just fell into me, with the bullets flying round

I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn't very long
Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me
Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before

And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady man to wear
Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you as if you're waiting for
This letter to arrive because I'll be here quite a while

I fought in a war and I didn't know where it would end
It stretched before me infinitely, I couldn't really think
Of the day beyond now, keep your head down pal
There's trouble plenty in this hour, this day
I can see hope I can see light

I always enjoy your approach to vidding because it's so original, so fresh...and here you've done it again! What I like so much about the way you create the look of the vid is that, sure, there are a lot of effects used (textures, color, aging filters, flickers), but they all work together to create something cohesive.

There's also a feeling of frenetic energy (via the speed ramping and then also the sections with fast-paced cuts, like 1:38-1:50ish), which is really cool when set against a song that's uptempo but sort of mellow.

Thank you. I tend to like taking things to the extreme.

I love Belle & Sebastian. There's something nice and mellow about them.
