Could a body close the mind down
Stitch a seam across the eye
If you can be good, you’ll live forever
If you’re bad, you’ll die when you die
Hearing only one true note
I'm the one and only sound
Unzip my body, take my heart out
'Cause I need a beat to give this tune

Ouu ou
Ouu ou
Ouu ou

(Unzip my heart)

Ouu ou
Ouu ou

And if I need a rhythm
It’ll be to my heart I listen
If it don’t put me too far wrong
(And if I and if I)
And if I need a rhythm
It’s gonna be to my heart I listen
If it don’t put me too far wrong

Everybody smile, please
Nobody pay no mind to me
Finger in position on the switch
A little flash photography

Taking a picture of you
(To my heart)
Taking a picture of
Taking a picture of me
Taking a picture

Ramalama, bang bang
Flash bang
Big bang
Bing bong
Ding dong
Dom dom do dom dom

With a hammer bang bang
Flash bang
Press gang
Bing bong
Ding dong
Hum hum ho Hum Hum

With a system of a bang bang
(With a system of with a system of with a system of a big bang, crash bang, big bang, big bang, crash bang)
Bang bang
Crash bang
Big bang
Boing boing
Boing boing
Dum dum do dum dum

Keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on

And if I and if I need a rhythm
(And if I need a rhythm)
Gonna be to my heart I listen
And if I and if I need a rhythm
(And if I and if I need a rhythm)
It's gonna be to my heart I listen
And if I and if I need a rhythm
(And if I and if I need a rhythm)
It's gonna be to my heart I listen
(Need a rhythm, need a rhythm, need a rhythm, need a rhythm, need a rhythm, need a rhythm)

And if I and if I need a rhythm

Keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on

First off, I love the music, and this vid bears repeat watching, as you fit *so* much in. I like a lot of the contrasts -- Dexter and the young budding serial killer, Dexter and his father, Dexter and his brother, the real bodies and the Barbie doll. And I think the effects you use are, for the most part, effective and not overdone/done simply for the sake of the effects. The pulsing blood smiley face was particularly memorable. *g* It's a fascinating, absorbing vid, which I will watch again.

The only thing that sometimes felt off to me was following the pulsing beat a little *too* closely, at times. There were a few moments where I wanted a clip to last through a couple beats, make the rhythm more syncopated and irregular, as Dexter himself is irregular. I wanted the clip changes in some sections to be more unpredictable, more intuitive over straight regular clipping, to induce more of that uneasiness that all the blood and horrific images brought up. Although I suspect someone else might feel that the bright, bouncy beat and the regularity contrasted well with the horror, so. *g*

Thank you for leaving me feedback. I was trying out new things with this vid. Some things worked and some things didn't. Having more distance from the vid, I can understand that better.
