PLEASE READ – (lyrics below) by request for Megan Burkart (a wonderful song for this pairing/show!) :) clips follow lyrics – told in both POVs. Basically showing how J & C stood together, through troubles and war, coming out the stronger for it in all areas, including their love…Loads of symbolism- clips used to be taken literally & figuratively – here is a small portion (the rest I think is easy to figure out) on “preacher man/preacher’s son/stand arm-in-arm just like everyone” – symbolizes their causes –both good & bad – those who helped and those who were a hindrance … “drips like tears running up your face” – I showed an ocean here = ocean of tears… “hounds will cry” (“hounds” are known for baying for blood- symbolic of those who cried for war – Prince Charlie, etc.) "Ash and dust trail behind us, wicked is the blinded" - death/destruction caused by Claire & Jamie, to protect themselves and their loved ones, rescue them from their enemies, etc... “Who we are comes to life” – shows aspects of both Jamie (protector/ warrior/ leader/ spy/ husband/ father, etc) and Claire (protector/ mother /nurse /nurturer/ spy/ wife/ mother, etc) and the conflicts as well as times of joy that brought those things out in them, also showing how they brought out the best in each other.

Lyrics for “Hands of Love” performed by Miley Cyrus
When the white flag sails, covered in streaks of blood
There'll be an endless sea, of us rising up
And the preacher man, and the preacher's son
Will stand arm in arm, just like everyone
We longing to be free, I won't let you fade away
We shared so many dreams, I won’t let them fade away
CHORUS:
In the hands of love, we carry on
Stronger than we started
The ash and dust that trail behind us
Wicked is the blinded
Who we are comes to life, yeah
Who we are comes to life
When the water spills, the glass will break
It drips like tears, running up your face
And the hounds will cry, for the dogs of war
With the sounds of joy, their victory will soar
We longing to be free, I won't let you fade away
We shared so many dreams, I won’t let them fade away
CHORUS
We longing to be free, I won't let you fade away
CHORUS
We come alive (repeat)
We come to life

![PotO/LND- Memories (Erik ♥ Christine) Phantom of the Opera - a request
PLEASE READ to understand (lyrics below)- by request for
xXBrokenHeartsXx – 3 weeks in the making, but it’s finally done. ;-) Watch in HD for best experience...Normally I don’t repeat songs with other fandoms- but I made an exception with this one. I LOVE this song! – story of vid: Christine is surrounded by memories of her time with her Angel – both during the 3 months he separated himself from her while at the opera house and throughout the 10 years before they are again reunited. Throughout all the dark days without him, at times the memories seem more real to her than the present she is living, which feels surreal (symbolism shows this at times, though usually it is the memories that are shown that way through coloring, haze, etc). Often she imagines Erik there, as if he is really with her. When there is trouble between them (in LND) she recalls better times. The ring she folds into his hand is just that- her ring, and I paired the clip with the lyrics “I love you” to show the symbolism that Joel Schumacher (the writer of the screenplay) said it meant in an interview: Basically, the ring symbolizes Christine’s heart - what both men wanted - and it was to the Phantom she gave it. Also in the screenplay JS wrote – she turns back, as if singing to him – as Christine sings her last lines “Stay with me each night and each morning” – which incidentally is exactly where he left off with the song on the bridge in PONR. The red rose with the black ribbon is a sign of his love for her, as well as a sign of his presence, either in the moment or to come – though she does not always see him to know he’s there – and also is the meaning of the last clip shown - even as the photo fades, he is there and will be with her throughout eternity. Throughout song, Christine lives in her memories during the time Erik is absent from her, heartbroken without him, the memories what sustains her, until they are again reunited, to live out their destiny and their love. All of the clips have a lot of symbolism with how I presented them in masking and in effects. Sparkle clips credit: spheresoflove.co.uk, Keith Heidebrecht, and Pond
Lyrics to Memories performed by Within Temptation
[Whisper] Memories, memories, memories
In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind
Theres no other way
Ill pray to the gods: let him stay
The memories ease the pain inside
Now I know why
[Chorus:]
All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine youd be here
All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers, silent tears
Made me promise Id try
To find my way back in this life
I hope there is a way
To give me a sign youre okay
Reminds me again
Its worth it all
So I can go home
[Chorus]
Together in all these memories
I see your smile
All the memories I hold dear
Darling you know I love you till the end of time
[Chorus]
*next up- my annual Christmas video, an HD remake of Wuthering Heights (my first video on this channel), another Christmas special, and another PotO request :)
