Lyrics
And we're slow to acknowledge the knots in our laces
Heart it races
And we go back to where we moved out to the places
Heart it races

I bought it in a can and stirred it with my fingers
Singin' boom da da da da da da boom dat dat dat da da
Threw it out the window
Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter
With your boom da da da da da da boom dat dat dat da da
Legs like little splinters

Legs like little splinters

And we're slow to acknowledge the knots in our laces
Heart it races
And we go back to where we moved out to the places
Heart it races

I sold it to a man and threw him out that window
He went boom da da da da da da boom dat dat dat da da
Made his wife a widow

Heart it races alone
Heart it races alone
Heart it races alone
Made his wife a widow
Heart it races alone
Heart it races alone
Heart it races alone

Legs like little spiders
Legs like little spiders

This is utterly adorable and so well done. spot on timing and really lovely work

[redcirce]

This vid makes me want to watch the movie again, because i don't really remember much of it. Regardless, I loved this video, the cuts and the pacing. Lovely.

[cupidsbow]

Those are some seriously crazy dudes, and a seriously awesome vid.

[settiai]

Oh, this was lovely!

[zulu]

I love this story so much, it's wonderful to see it vidded (and to remember how trippy the Don Bluth movies sometimes were!). I love what you've done with the song and showing Mrs Frisby's journey.

[ladysorka]

I confess that I don't actually remember this film very well, but this vid really makes me want to see it again. Your timing and pacing are fantastic.

[mresundance]

I loved this film, and the novel, as a child, and I really enjoyed your take on this. The song was unexpected, but you really made it work for the source and the ending shots were glorious.

Enjoyed this a lot - awesome vid is awesome! I haven't watched The Secret of Nimh in years (probably about 20 years OMG), but its always had a special place in my heart: I feel a rewatch coming on!

[lithiumdoll]

Oh, this is lovely! And so well put together <3

[talitha78]

Lovely!

[laura47]

like other commenters, a lot of my memories of the film are hazy, but that was great!

[franzeska]

Aww! Great timing.

[sasha_feather]

Wow, I loved this vid.

[frayadjacent]

Oh wow, this is fantastic! I love your timing and musicality -- the cage door opening on the guitar string is so great. And I love the fade from Mrs. Frisby to what's-his-name at the end. You captured so much of the gorgeous and super weird and heartwarming and adventurous aspects of this film -- and in such a short time!

[fan_eunice]

This is SO fantastic. I really loved it a lot. <3 <3

[skygiants]

This is so adorable and creepy and trippy all at the same time - just like a Secret of Nimh vid should be!

[china_shop]

Beautifully done! I hardly remember the film at all, but this worked wonderfully!

[echan]

I've never seen this film, but this was adorable. I loved the strong matches between the visuals and the music, especially moments like the cat crying at the door, very cool.

[livrelibre]

This was great!
