Lyrics
The ghosts moored their boats upon the shore
with hands and ropes they plucked the trembling stars
and the sound of bones rattled on the wind
and the salt of tears dropping in the sand

The bones of birds and children beneath me lie
the blood of stars, the blood of stars

The whispered sin on a guiltless knife
the silenced ring of a bullet in a life
we hid ourselves in the stitching of a myth
we hid by words in the history we bid

The bones of birds and children beneath me lie
the blood of stars on your hands and mine
the blood of stars, the blood of stars

when the fight was lost
they fell with broken hearts
a wound of a thousand cuts
and a scar to last the ages

Thank you so much! So many hugs coming your way right now!

So difficult to leave feedback to things I love. Eek, but I'll try:

I loved the song choice and editing choices. The focus on Wallander himself, the horror of his work and the emotional strain that it causes him.

It feels like you delved into my brain and sucked out my Wallander feels and then vidded it. So so awesome. Thank you!

I'm glad you liked it! When I saw that you had requested Wallander, I crossed my fingers and hoped that I'd get you as my match. Picking the song was tricky - I didn't want anything light, and I kept going through Swedish artists to try to get the right feel, then I learned that this artist did the actual song the show uses and came across this song. I thought it expressed the haunting quality of the show. I'm glad that you liked the content of the vid as well.
