Lyrics
I was looking for a breath of a life
A little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head sang no oh oh oh

To get a dream of life again
A little vision of the start and the end
But all the choirs in my head sang, no oh oh oh

But I needed one more touch
Another taste of heavenly rush
And I believe, I believe it's so oh oh oh

And I needed one more touch
Another taste of divine rush
And I believe, I believe it's so oh oh oh

Whose side am I on? Whose side am I?
Whose side am I on? Whose side am I?

And the fever began to spread
From my heart down to my legs
But the room is so quiet, oh oh oh oh

And although I wasn't losing my mind
It was a chorus so sublime
But the room is so quiet, oh oh oh

I was looking for a breath of a life
A little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head sang, no oh oh oh

To get a dream of life again
A little vision of the sun in the end
But all the choirs in my head sang, no oh oh oh

It's a harder way and it's come to claim her
And I always say, we should be together
And I can see below, 'cause there's something in here
And if you are gone, I will not belong here (belong, belong, belong)

And I started to hear it again
But this time it wasn't the end
And the room is so quiet, oh oh oh oh

And my heart is a hollow plain
For the devil to dance again
And the room is too quiet, oh oh oh oh

I was looking for the breath of a life
A little touch of a heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head sang, no oh oh oh

Wonderwoman is so awesome, and this is a great summary of her story.

[soupytwist]

This is BADASS. I love the song choice!

[par_avion]

I love Wonder Woman because her story has such scope, and you really capture that epic feel here. ♥ ♥ ♥

[chaila]

This is AMAZEBALLS, I cannot. DIANA OF THEMYSCIRA. All the musicality and fighting is perfect, but I especially love the beginning with the focus on Themyscira, the Amazons, her putting on the uniform (with its Amazon markings), and Hippolyta on the beach. Diana's creation on the beach feels appropriately like the start of something amazing and epic. And the art you added that ties the movie moments to similar moments in the comics, ugh, so perfect, it makes the whole thing feel so epic and mythic, which is of course perfect for Diana, Princess of the Freaking Amazons.

[beccatoria]

Beautiful. Fantastic choreography. Completely loved it.

[sasha_feather]

This is amazing and inspiring.

[runawaynun]

THIS IS SO AMAZING. The song fits Wonder Woman so well. I love how you put comic panels in various places between the animation.

[frayadjacent]

Oh wow, this is epic and gorgeous. I love your use of stills. I really need to check out some Wonder Woman!!

[sanguinity]

That was epic. And I loved the way you used comic panels at these heightened moments of... inhale, that moment at the top of a jump, where everything hangs motionless before plummeting back down again BOOM. (WORDS WHAT ARE WORDS?)

I still have chills. :-D

[pearwaldorf]

Oh my god. This is fucking beautiful. I love the song choice, I love the way you included the comic panels. Your cuts are so wonderfully matched to the beat and just, augh. Love love love.

[were_duck]

This is SO gorgeous and EPIC, I love the inclusion of still art. This is phenomenal work!!!

[settiai]

Oh, wow. This was gorgeous.

[echan]

The story in this is brilliant, a tale of myth and legend, so great to watch.

[usuallyhats]

This is so amazing. It completely blew me away and I'm not sure I quite have the words to communicate how much I love it: everything about it is just PERFECT. I love how you show Diana as this amazingly powerful, mythical warrior, but also show her compassion - that sequence with her rescuing and helping her fellow leaguers is wonderful, both for that and for putting her in context as a hero among heroes. ♥ I love how you've integrated the comics panels, and how they emphasise how her importance and meaning transcend any one medium. It's so epic and intense and beautiful, I love it tremendously. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[cosmic_llin]

This is terrific!

[ladymercury_10]

This is great! I really like your use of still panels from the comics.

[purplefringe]

WOW. I have never seen Wonder Woman, but this blew me away. PERFECT editing, wonderful use of comics panels, and really great build up to an emotional pitch that resonates even with someone with relatively little Wonder Woman knowledge. *applause*

[gorgeousnerd]

LOVE IT.

[faith_girl222]

[leanwellback]

[aris_tgd]

*hands* Great enough that I can't verb other nouns. Just terrific!

[shati]

THIS IS SO GORGEOUS omg

[giandujakiss]

This is gorgeous. The music and images are so beautifully coordinated, and I love the fierce portrait of Wonder Woman that you give us.

[littleheaven]

I'm not familiar with the source, but the editing and movement and feeling in this vid is incredible. Really wonderful.

[franzeska]

Epic!

[mithborien]

Fantastically dramatic! The combination of the different mediums was great!

[laurashapiro]

Terrific musicality, wow. I love the build, and the way you wove in the still images. A great ride.

[aruan]

Wonder Woman YAY! Really lovely job of summing up her story and awesomeness, for lack of a better word.

[felis]

I have to admit that I don't know much about Wonder Woman, but this is absolutely epic and I love your editing, the build-up and the movement and the comic panels, and it was a joy watching this.
