Lyrics:
Don't hold my hand like that
You'll hurt your knees
I kissed your mouth and back
That's all I need
But don't build your world around
Volcanoes melt you down

And what I am to you is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you's not what you mean to me
For givin' me miles
And miles of mountains
And I'll part them with sea

What I give to you is just what I'm going through
This is nothing new
It's just another phase of finding what I really need
Is what makes me bleed
Like a true disease
She's still too young

Notes:
A long time ago I saw the most pretentious movie I’ve even watched in all my life, De Fem benspænd (The Five Obstructions). Basically, it’s a metafilm about Jorgen Leth being challenged by Lars von Trier to remake his 1967 short film, The Perfect Human (Der Perfekte Menneske), five times with certain rules. For the first obstruction, Leth has to film in Cuba and can only have 12 consecutive frames from a take. The second has Leth playing “the perfect man” in an extremely miserable place. For the third, Leth has no constraints. The fourth must be a cartoon. He must read the voiceover for a film about him that someone else directed under his name for the last obstruction. I found the film to be interesting on some levels, mostly on a vidding level. I thought it would fun to set constraints on myself. I set 5 obstructions for myself and was forced myself to follow them for this vid. My first obstruction was completing the vid in under a day and a cookie to anyone who wants guess at what my other 4 were.

If anything, this vid is one big “DON’T DO DRUGS!” ad.

Thank you so much. I really wanted to try something different with the audio (meshing two songs together).

And I like the way that even though you're *mostly* using S4 footage, the history of how Shane got all fucked up in this way is palpable.
Awesome. I only had the one episode to work with, so I was limited to using just the clips of Shane/Carmen that were in the previously, but I wanted to start the vid with that so it was a "ghost" in the rest of the vid. :)
