Lyrics
(edited)
Lord, my path has gone astray
I'm just tryin' to find my way
Wandered here from far away
I'm just tryin' to find my way...

You were never meant to see
All those things inside of me
Now that you've gone away
I'm just tryin' to find my way...

Uh uh uh ohhh... (Ooooooooh)
Uh uh uh ohhh...

I have made a great mistake
Pray The Lord my soul to take
Ghosts of who we used to be
I can feel them come for me

It looks as though they're here to stay
I'm just tryin' to find my way...

Uh uh uh ohhh...
Uh uh uh ohhh...
Uh uh uh ohhh... (Ooooooooh)
Uh uh uh ohhh...

I have been to every place
I have been to everywhere

Jonesy!! This is great. What a cool vid.

[rhoboat]

Thank you!

[d_generate_girl]

Such an amazing look into Jonesy! I kept listening to the lyrics and going "oh the shot with the buzzards would - YAY IT'S THERE" and "that second verse is SO Rita Sue and - YES PERFECT!"

[rhoboat]

Aww, thanks!

[mazily]

Oh, this is just wonderful. I love it.

[rhoboat]

Thank you. :)

[delphi]

Beautifully done.

[rhoboat]

Thanks. :D

[serrico]

Jonesy! And all his bad decisions! :) This is a great look at him and his story through the show, really well-put-together.

[rhoboat]

Aww, thank you!

[yourlibrarian]

Love that last shot with the wheel to end his arc.

[rhoboat]

Oh, thank you!

[laurashapiro]

I love the way this is made up of little moments. There's a kind of intentional hesitation in the editing that makes me feel as if I'm holding my breath. It makes every image feel significant. Super-classy.

[rhoboat]

The song itself is from the NIN album "Hesitation Marks," and hesitation is a feeling that the song certainly invoked in me while I was vidding this. Thank you!

[laurashapiro]

Oh, interesting! Glad to know I read it right. (:

This is chilling. I adore the way you intercut the flashbacks of his injury with those scenes with Sophie and Rita Sue, the way the beat of the song syncs to Jonesy's limp, and that last shot of the empty ferris wheel. Eerie.

[rhoboat]

Aww, thank you. :)

[echan]

OOOOOh man. I love how all the clips of baseball and throwing a ball around felt as clearly communicative as a conversation. And the ferris wheel, each time it popped up it meant something different. Really cool vid.

[rhoboat]

Aww, thank you. :)

[franzeska]

Haunting. I like the part where they're in the car around 2:54.

[rhoboat]

Thanks. :)
