vid - soap in a bathtub - the L word

[kiki_miserychic]

vid title: Soap in a Bathtub
music: Stoney
source: the L word
duration: 4:30
summary: Shane character study for season 5.
notes:I envisioned this vid as a layered piece. The first layer being the show itself, the L word, and the character of Shane. The song is asking her "isn't this what you want?" She constantly starts and stops relationships, sabotages them, and starts again. Nearly every season is the same for her. There's a woman, they get together, Shane can't commit fully, there's a freak out, and then the relationship breaks off somehow (usually cheating). Assuming it's not lazy writing, which it may be, the character continually repeats her doomed relationship because she sees the couples around her (mainly Bette and Tina) happy and in love. That's what she wants for herself, but she can't actually keep it. The second layer is my own layer. The vid is for charmax, who, like I said at the end of the vid, has found what most of us are still looking for, including me (and Shane).

For Charmax: May you have found what most of us are still looking for.

I only touched your love
When the tips of my fingers tried to clutch your love
I'm sick of this soap in a bathtub love
I need something to hold (ah ah)
I feel deluded
As once again I am eluded
And everything is left unconcluded
I need something to hold

And we know you're there
Somewhere in these murky waters
If you just showed us where
You'd bring to life all that you taught us
Do you just sit and stare?
I know that you're longing to be found

Isn't that what you want?
Isn't that what you want?

I adore your love
But it's snakes and ladders looking for your love
Fakes and blaggers claim to be your love
I don't want the fools gold (ah ah)
But I'm in in danger
I'm hungry, angry, lonely, and a stranger
I'm livin' la vida loca lone ranger
I need you to take home

And we know you're there
Somewhere in these murky waters
If you just showed us where
You'd bring to life all that you taught us
Do you just sit and stare?
I know that you're longing to be found

Isn't that what you want?
Isn't that what you want?

And we know you're there
Somewhere in these murky waters
If you just showed us where
You'd bring to life all that you taught us
Do you just sit and stare?
Well, I know that you're longing to be found

Isn't that what you want?
Isn't that what you want?

TITS!

what? I mean, this is a perfect song and story for Shane. it's not easy to vid soap opera, and you did an admirable job of making a visually and narratively compelling piece (of course, the sex scenes didn't hurt -- I'm impressed that Shane had enough sex in one season to fill up a full-length vid). I loved the sex time toggles!

it's ironic to use Shane for a wedding vid, but as you explain in your layers, also somehow the most perfect of all.

Thanks. Shane is pretty much me. In looking at the other vids on the wedding DVD, I'm the only one that actually vidded to charmax.
