Lyrics
You were a child
Crawling on your knees toward it
Making momma so proud
But your voice is too loud
We like to watch you laughing
Picking insects off of plants
No time to think of consequences

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

The water is warm
But it's sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
Memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decisions too
Decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not

This was beautiful! I loved the music and clip choices -- this was such a gorgeous vid, with all the most wonderful moments from the movie! And I loved the theme of "take only what you need". Thank you so much!

[shati]

Thank you very much! It's really a beautiful movie, I was glad Festivids spurred me to rewatch it. Happy Festivids! :)

Lovely vid! Excellent use of lyrics.

[caput_mortuum]

Great editing! The song choice is very unexpected to me but a great fit, awesome.

[leanwellback]

Wow, this is gorgeous. I love the song and the clip choices, especially all the "take only what you need" bits. Awesome work!

[purplefringe]

Oh, gorgeous. I love the way you interpret the lyrics, and the editing is just flawless.

[shallowness]

Wonderous. I liked the light and shade of the selections that you made and thought that this vid did a lovely job of showing Chihiro's journey and adventure. 'Take only what you need from it' is a great line for the film.

[metonymy]

Ahhh, so great. I especially love the layers on layers, and that it's not strictly linear. Just joyous.

[echan]

I would have never thought to put this song and film together. There were so many lines and moments you got to match up perfectly, you made it an awesome combo.

[faith_girl222]

fantastic! ♥♥♥

[puckling]

What a wonderful combination of song and source. I would have never thought to put them together, but you made it work so well and feel so natural.

[cinco]

Truly an inspired song/source match up, and a gorgeous, meaningful vid. <3

[valoise]

Wonderful vid!

[franzeska]

That was beautiful and moving.

[skygiants]

I've watched this so many times now and EVERY TIME IT'S GREAT AND BEAUTIFUL. I love it so much!

[mithborien]

Fantastic! The song is a great choice!

[aruan]

The song's refrain, "Take only what you need," is so apt for Chihiro, stuck in an anguished world but determined to hang onto her innocence. Really beautiful work.

[starlady]

Interesting song choice. I liked what you did with it!
