Lyrics
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond

Find light in the beautiful sea
I choose to be happy
You and I, you and I
We’re like diamonds in the sky

You’re a shooting star I see
A vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I’m alive
We’re like diamonds in the sky

I knew that we’d become one right away
Oh, right away
At first sight I left the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes

So shine bright, tonight you and I
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright like a diamond
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright like a diamond
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Palms rise to the universe
As we moonshine and molly
Feel the warmth, we’ll never die
We’re like diamonds in the sky

You’re a shooting star I see
A vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I’m alive
We’re like diamonds in the sky

At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes

So shine bright, tonight you and I
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright like a diamond
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright like a diamond
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond

So shine bright, tonight you and I
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond

Love this.

[rhoboat]

Thank you. :)

[metonymy]

Oh wow, this was lovely, and it makes me want to go watch the movie again.

[rhoboat]

Aww, thanks!

[zulu]

I enjoyed this, anonyvidder! The music fit the narrative and the cuts really well, and brought the story to life. Now I gotta watch the movie again. :D

[rhoboat]

Thank you so much!

[lannamichaels]

I love this. :D

[rhoboat]

Thanks! :)

[talitha78]

Oh, thank you so much. That was just. Right in the feels. I love how the vid starts out very Will-centric, and then expands to include all of the people in his life, all the people who want to help him "shine bright like a diamond." Beautiful.

A++ on the song choice, by the way. "Diamonds" has been on my obsesso-song playlist ever since it came out. It's like you know me or something... ;)

[rhoboat]

Dunno if you caught my tweets around Christmas/New Year about having Festividding feels, because it was this vid I was tweeting about. :D

It's like you know me or something... ;)

Heeeeee.

*SMISHES YOU*

Thanks!

Great vid! Love the song choice and how you pulled the narrative in

[rhoboat]

Thank you!

[echan]

This song was perfect, and the story of the film was so clear here, the painful progression towards 'shining'. I love all the bits of this vid, the parts that hurt just make the happy parts happier, wonderfully done.

[rhoboat]

Aww, thank you!!

Really, really good. Loved the way it told his story and as well as having a strong sense of the characters, a sense of place too.

[rhoboat]

Thank you. :)

[kass]

This is really beautiful. The editing is seamless and transparent, so I just fell right into the visuals and their emotional meaning. Gorgeous.

Aww, thank you. :)
