Lyrics
She says I smell like safety and home
I named both of her eyes 'Forever' and 'Please don’t go'
I could be a morning sunrise all the time, all the time yeah
This could be good, this could be good
And I can’t change, even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can’t change, even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm, she keeps me warm
I’m not crying on Sundays, I’m not crying on Sundays
My love, my love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm, she keeps me warm

Date: 2015-01-31 05:18 pm (UTC)Such beautiful use of those looks they're forever giving each other -- Wil's great big eyes! Vivian's cat-with-the-canary smiles! -- and I loved that you included the thumbs-up from the mothers. (And I'm just as happy you skipped over the sourpusses at the final dance: this is a video to keep one warm!)
And I adore that you took this lesbian anthem and repurposed the line "I can't change even if I tried," away from an external protest about society's homophobia, and instead reworked it to be an internal, intimate plea between them, about all the everything of what it takes to negotiate a relationship. Wil spends so much of the movie stuck, unable or unwilling to be more available to Vivian, but also desperately wanting to rise to what Vivian requires, and the tension you created between "unable to change, even if I tried" and "(but) she keeps me warm" draws that out beautifully. The intricacies of negotiating a relationship is so much more compelling to me than the grind of dealing with homophobia, and I'm so pleased you took it in this direction, rather than the other.
I keep going back and rewatching it in the hopes of being able to say more cogent things, but I keep getting to the end and finding that once again I have drifted off into a happy smush of awwww. Which is a very fine place to be. :-)
Thank you so much, anonymous vidder! This was a lovely present to wake up to!
