Lyrics
Something To Believe In

When I saw you for the first time
Eyes the color of the ocean
Something moved inside of me
Long forgotten, lying broken
Now I can't turn away
Watching you as you lay sleeping
Can you hear winds of change
Is this something to believe in

I lost direction in the darkness
Couldn't stop myself from running
I could feel the sun on my back
But I was afraid to let the light in
Now I can't run any more
Now I see this gift you bring me
Can you hear winds of change
Is this something to believe in

I will carry you in my heart
I will hold you in my memory
You could be a million miles away
But when I call
You will hear me

Aaaaaaaaaaah, OMG, this is wonderful and so perfect and just exactly what I would want from a Marion vid! Seriously I'm almost crying this is so exactly what I hoped for but never expected to actually get! *squishes it super hard* *delighted face* *flail* *while somehow also still squishing this vid*

[china_shop]

Yayayayay, I am so very pleased you enjoyed this, yayaayy! Thank you!! Vidding Marion just made me love and admire her even more, so thank you too for your wonderful request!! (I also took a look at Cagney and Lacey for the first time, after reading your requests, and enjoyed the show very much -- they are adooooorable -- but I ran out of time to make a treat.)

\o/ \o/ \o/

[cosmic_llin]

Aw, I'm glad you enjoyed making it as much as I enjoyed watching it! And it's always a delight to spread the Cagney and Lacey love! :D

[littleheaven]

Oh, I loved this show! Thank you for a delightful trip down memory lane.

[china_shop]

Yay, thank you! It was a pleasure to revisit the show. :-)

[lithiumdoll]

Eeeee! Marion and ALL HER WIN! This is beautifully done :D

[china_shop]

Wheeeeee, thank you! She has SO MUCH win! *adores her*

[sally_maria]

Marion - such a wonderful character, from a fondly remembered show. Thank you very much for such a great vid. :-)

[china_shop]

Revisiting the show with a focus on Marion made me appreciate her so much! Very glad you enjoyed this -- thank you!

[purplefringe]

This is delightful! I haven't seen the source, but Marion seems super-awesome and this is lovely.

[china_shop]

She is awesome! So glad that came across -- thank you!! :-D

[mergatrude]

Marion! Utterly delightful! I love the sense of her multiple purposes: as a romantic foil, as a Queen and Keeper (of the forest, of everyone's hearts), as a mythic element, as the Female Principle. And all her delightful boldness. \o/

[china_shop]

She is kickass and stubborn and awesome! I think I want to be her when I grow up. *g*

Thanks, you!! <3 <3 <3

I never got past the first episode or so of this show, but now I want to go rewatch. I love the part with the arrow and the dissolves over the standing stones.

[china_shop]

Yayayay, thank you! The show is slow, but very good, and I find almost all of the characters utterly charming. So. \o/

[frayadjacent]

Oh, this was great! I loved the montage of her joining and being accepted by the group. What a good vid!

[china_shop]

Thank you so much! It's a very "team" kind of show. :-D

[debris_k]

Aww, that was lovely, took back straight to the crush I had on this show when I was in high school. Kudos!

[china_shop]

Wheee, I'm so glad. Thank you!!!

[fan_eunice]

Vidder, this is wonderful. So many hearts.

[china_shop]

Thank you so much! I fell head over heels for the subject, which definitely helped. *g*

[laurashapiro]

This is a great character study in the classic tradition. Great work!

[china_shop]

Thank you! <3 :-D

[par_avion]

Marion! I haven' seen the source, but I love that this vid is focused on her. She seems like an awesome character. Loved the training montage and her improving skills.

[china_shop]

She is a wonderful Marion -- stubborn and loyal and just generally awesome. Glad you enjoyed the vid -- thank you!! :-D

[echan]

This was neat! I've never seen this show, I found it very interesting to see all the parts of her life, all the roles she played, and all the different moods and relationships were very well shown.

[china_shop]

Thank you so much -- I'm so glad her facets came across! *beams*

[arduinna]

Oh, this is so lovely. This is my favorite Robin Hood source, and my favorite Marion, and you've done her wonderful justice here. ♥ I love the song choice, too, not just for the song itself, but for the sound of it; it's not as mystical/ethereal as the Clannad music in the show, but still manages to echo its sound a bit, and feels very right.

I may just have to pull out my DVDs this weekend now...

[china_shop]

Oh, thank you so much! I had a really hard time finding a song, so I'm delighted this worked for you, yayay! It's my favourite Robin Hood source too, by far. *beams*

[heuradys]

This was made entirely of delightful win.

[china_shop]

Thank you!! <3 :-D
