Lyrics
And the world is made of energy

and the world is electricity

and the world is made of energy

and there's a light inside of you

and there's a light inside of me.



And the world is made of energy

and the world is synchronicity

and the world is made of energy

and there's a light inside of you

and there's a light inside of me.



Chorus:

It’s gonna be all right

It’s gonna be all right uh huh yeah.

We’re gonna see the sunlight

We’re gonna see the sunlight uh huh yeah.



And the world is made of energy

and the world is possibility

and the world is made of energy

and there's a light inside of you

and there's a light inside of me.



Chorus

Vidder, I cried. Because I love this story so much, and because you focused on all the joy and ingenuity and love in a way I couldn't even expect, because I have had a desperate and untamable love of space travel and science as long as I have any memories, because it was structured beautifully, because it hit on the parts of the movie that made me cry because they just couldn't be expressed in the same way in the book (all the people around the world etc), perhaps because I'm very tired, but I think it's 90% those other things. Thank you so much!

[niyalune]

Oh, I'm so happy it resonated with you! I'm so relieved you like it, because I had a bit of trouble deciding what vid to make - at first I toyed with the idea of making a vid focused on the science, but as I was making it, I couldn't help but include all the other parts!

[goodbyebird]

Oh such a great vid, with so many science feels and connection between people :D The starburst pattern made by the tape on "see the sunlight" and so many other lyric matches in this just puts it over the top fur me. Lovely feelgood vid.

[niyalune]

Ah, thank you so much for your comment <3 I'm all about the science feels!

[purplefringe]

Aaaah, this is LOVELY. I haven't seen the film, but I literally finished the book last night and this captures so much of what I loved about it! The creativity, the ingenuity, the sense of people EVERYWHERE coming together, and the fragile but gradually building sense of hope. This is delightful.

[niyalune]

These were all the things I loved most about both the movie and the book! So glad my vid worked for you :) Thank you so much for commenting!

[laurashapiro]

Thank you, I'm glad it worked for you :)

I really enjoyed this. Awesome song choice!

[niyalune]

Thank you so much! I wanted an energetic, science-y song, so I was very happy to find this one.

[sasha_feather]

Beautiful! This really captures the hopeful and cooperative spirit of the movie.

This was so, so lovely.

[niyalune]

Thank you for your comment <3

[lannamichaels]

This is really cool. :D

[niyalune]

Thanks <3

[valoise]

Teamwork and science and You Can Do It - everything I loved about the movie and the book all condensed into one little vid. Wonderful!

[niyalune]

Yesss, the movie was so enjoyable because of all of this! I'm glad the vid worked for you :) Thank you for commenting!

[isis]

This was wonderful! I especially love the feeling of motion and fluidity, the really great timing - and the ironic choices of disastrous images with "It's gonna be all right" made me GRIN.

[niyalune]

Thank you so much <3 I must admit I was quite proud of myself when I got the idea to go with the ironic clip choices ;)

[leanwellback]

Oh, wow, this is lovely! I love the focus on people coming together and ingenuity and hope in the face of impossible odds. I wasn't particularly fussed on seeing this film, but you've just changed my mind with this vid, it looks right up my street :D

[niyalune]

The movie is great fun, I've watched it several times (and not just for vidding purposes haha). I'm really happy you liked the vid! Thank you for your comment :)

[felis]

Love it!

[niyalune]

Thanks :)

[kabal42]

Science vid ftw <3 And I loved the little juxtaposition of 'It's gonna be alright' with the explosion when he tries to make "rain" the first time.

[niyalune]

I couldn't NOT include science, it was one of my favorite things about the movie ;) Thank you so much for commenting!

[echan]

TEAMWORK and yes it will be all right. Everyone working together, such a unity shown in this, awesome.

[niyalune]

Ah, thank you :D Glad you liked the vid!

[isagel]

This is wonderful! A really great vid about having faith in life and human ability.

[niyalune]

Thank you! I'm glad it worked for you :)

[bingeling]

That was really, really wonderful!

[niyalune]

Thank you so much!

[cherry]

Oh my goodness I have so many feelings about this vid. (The feelings are all positive.) I don't even know that I can express how much joy and hope I get watching this.

Science! Friends! Space! <3

[niyalune]

Ahhh omg thank you so much for this nice comment! I'm so happy you like it :D

[anoel]

Awwww I love this! You told the story so sweetly and beautifully and gave me SO MANY FEELS at the end there, showing how meaningful it was for him to see the green plant. I also particularly love the beginning and how you set up the characters of the story and showed the love and joy between them.

[niyalune]

Oh, I'm so happy the green plant at the end worked for you! It was such a wonderful moment it the movie. Thank you so much for commenting <3
