Lyrics
The rain has moved on

And left a new day

Nothing seems to move, everything is still

It's just a perfect day



The shadows and light

That move with the wind

Hidden violets grow splashed with summer spray

Just another perfect day



On the wild and misty hillside

Fear is nature's warning

Hunger here is never far away



And all of this world

Is for children who play

Days that never end, always should remain

Another perfect day

This is beautiful, thank you! I love the feeling of wonder and possibility you've captured. ♥ The waking up section at the beginning is lovely, and I also love the bit with John and Nancy's handshake. And the ending is perfect! Swallows and Amazons forever. ♥

Swallows and Amazons (all the books and the film) were such a big part of my growing up and you've managed to capture so much of the magic here. The song is utterly perfect and it's almost like the vid is some secretly uncovered home video footage of the Walkers and the Blacketts. Gorgeous.

Swallows and Amazons forever!

[echan]

So peaceful and happy-making! Thank you!

[cryptolect]

I enjoyed this so much thankyou! I cheered when the Amazons showed up :) It's hard to figure out what to say because it just caused this great wash of feelings to rise up, and some of those feelings were slightly wistful but overall... happiness!

[franzeska]

This creates such a beautiful mood!

(Can't believe I forgot to leave a comment before!) I really love this vid - great song choice and you've done something really beautiful with it. Love how you capture the children's sense of wonder, especially Titty's. Perfect.
