Lyrics
One way or another I'm gonna find you

I'm gonna get you

One way or another I'm gonna win you

I'm gonna get you get you

One way or another I'm gonna see you

I'm gonna meet you

One day, maybe next week

I'm gonna meet you, I'm gonna meet you



I will try find your house

And if the lights are all down

I'll see who's around



One way or another I'm gonna find you

I'm gonna get you

One way or another I'm gonna win you

I'm gonna get you, get you

One way or another I'm gonna see you

I'm gonna meet you, meet you

One day, maybe next week

I'm gonna meet you, I'm gonna meet you,



And if the lights are all out

I'll follow your bus downtown

And I see who's around



I'll walk down the mall

Stand over by the wall

Where I can see it all

Find out who you call

I will drive past your house

And if the lights are all down

I'll see who's around

Very cool song use. Very horrific and effective editing. Those families, omg.

[goodbyebird]

Great song, and you really captured the sprawling nature of Continuum.

[winterevanesce]

So good!

[valoise]

Wonderful vid, it makes me really, really want to watch this show.

[tassosss]

So good! Such a haunting song that fits so perfectly here.

[violetemerald]

I'm sorry I didn't remember reveals were today and didn't check until now! Gosh I feel like it's unfair that I was gifted THREE different vids this festivids!! And oh my gosh! I love them all.

I am so so happy with this vid here. It has plenty of my favorite two characters, Alec and Kiera, and it introduced me to a wonderful and as the previous commenter said, a quite haunting song! I love the borrowing of some of the melody/lyrics from "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" but turning that upbeat "fighting back" kind of song into this depressing, ominous tune and merging it with some very different lyrics/melody.

I love so much about this. I'm sure I'll rewatch it a few more times in the near future. Just... THANK YOU.

Yesssss. The future in Continuum is so messed up and you really nailed that messed-uppedness with this vid. The song works as A+ creepy and I like how you had it all built up to the moment where Liber8 vanishes to the present to try to fix things.

I don't know the source, but this was terrifying -- hoping that these people would be able to keep resisting, fearing they wouldn't be able to. Very good!

[anoel]

Wow, this was amazing and really drew me into the source even though I've never seen it. The song is absolutely gorgeous, I really love the dark and intense vibe and how it worked with the imagery and Big Bad guy and I felt so much emotion for these people hoping they could escape and win. So beautiful and what a powerful end. I love it!!!

[hollywoodgrrl]

This was really haunting and effective. The sad inevitability of the song mixed so well with the horrific future the source lined out and you really drew it so clearly. I can't stop thinking about that last beat. Great job!

[china_shop]

This is such a perfectly creepy song for their creepy dystopian future, and so excellently realised. *applauds*

[felis]

I don't know the source, but this is a chilling dystopia you are showing us here. It's so haunting and relentless. Really like the flow of your editing, all the way through.

[cinco]

Really loved this--fantastic song choice to showcase the super creepy future. <3
