Ready for the Storm from Scribe on Vimeo.

Lyrics
The waves crash in and the tide tide pulls out

It's an angry sea but there is no doubt

That the lighthouse will keep shining out

To warn the lonely sailor

And the lightning strikes and the wind cuts cold

Through the sailor's bones to the sailor's soul

Till there's nothing left that he can hold

Except the rolling ocean



But I am ready for the storm, yes sir ready

I am ready for the storm, I'm ready for the storm



Oh give me mercy for my dreams

Cause every confrontation

Seems to tell me what it really means

To be this lonely sailor

But when the sky begins to clear

And the sun it melts away my fear

I'll cry a silent weary tear

For those that need to love me



But I am ready for the storm, yes sir ready

I am ready for the storm, I'm ready for the storm



Distance it is no real friend

And time will take its time

And you will find that in the end

It brings you me, the lonely sailor

And when you take me by your side

You love me warm, you love me

And I should have realized

I had no reason to be frightened



But I am ready for the storm, yes sir ready

I am ready for the storm, I'm ready for the storm

I haven't actually seen the source - I checked out this vid because a friend keeps reccing it - and wow. This is such an absolutely beautiful vid, and the song fits it amazingly. I really love it.

[cosmic_llin]

This is absolutely gorgeous, and I'm moving this film to the top of my to-watch list!

[shati]

IT'S SO PRETTY \o/ I love the pacing and the use of all the pretty but, um, slow? imagery -- things spinning and moving slowly and glowing. Also the movie's intense commitment to circle-y composition. And storms, of course, are a very fitting metaphor for the actual story (and the tiny babies and their tiny fraught sibling relationship). Thank you, thank you!

[cupidsbow]

Gorgeous, just gorgeous.

[castalia]

Oh, this is beautiful. Matches the film so perfectly, wonderful job!

[sholio]

Oh, this is beautiful!

[kiki_miserychic]

This looks so cool. I'm so gonna watch this.

[livrelibre]

I haven't seen this source but I'll be rectifying that immediately. This absolutely lovely!

[anoel]

This is so pretty, excellent use of music matched with the imagery!

[ghost_lingering]

This is stunning. I just want to keep watching it over and over. The song, visuals -- everything just goes so well together.

[nicole_anell]

You made excellent use of gorgeous visual! Lovely vid. <3

[sarkastic]

This is really beautiful and a wonderful distillation of this film. Lovely work!

[starlady]

This is a beautiful vid for a beautiful movie.

[futuransky]

So beautiful! Add me to the list of people who will be seeing the film soon.

[pi]

I haven't seen this movie but apparently I seriously need to. This vid is gorgeous and the song choice is really lovely too, even though I don't know the movie I think this tells the story quite well (and makes me want to see it in full!). Thank you.

[echan]

This started out so sad, until the kids took over with brave heroism! I've never seen the film yet you made the story clear. I liked the owls the most, every bit they were in was very neat.

[goodbyebird]

Oh this was lovely and paced perfectly. Absolutely a film I need to watch now.

[leanwellback]

I am totally unfamiliar with the source, but a couple of friends recced this so I decided to check it out and I'm so glad I did! Absolutely beautiful. The animation is stunning and you used it so well to tell the story and this is going straight on my rental list! Gorgeous blend of visuals with the music. Great work.

[frith_in_thorns]

And now I just watched the film with my girlfriend and we are both emotionally destroyed. Fantastic job :D

[jb_slasher]

STOP MAKING ME CRY. :D This is so beautiful. <3

[grammarwoman]

Everything about this is gorgeous - the music, the visuals, the pacing...just lovely.

[dolorosa_12]

This is absolutely lovely.

[fairestcat]

Oh, wow. That is just gorgeous.

[bingeling]

Oh wow, how pretty!

[tassosss]

I loved this! I haven't seen the source, but I could still follow the story. Gorgeous!

[shati]

SCRIBE! omg. And this is the second time I didn't guess you, although I think I had less excuse the first year...I don't think I can even accuse you of lying this year.

This year's viewing party really was amazing in retrospect. Half the room was a web of lies. I'm still laughing over my two vids being by you and skygiants, and yours being by tbm.

Thank you so much it is such a gorgeous vid <333
