PLEASE READ to understand – (Iyrics below) – by request for Hannah Townsend, Ghostly Melody, and Tragically Wicked - :) I shaped this one with a lot of hidden plot overtones, including showing clues from the movie, but for those who don’t like that idea, just look at the vid as both E and R wanting to protect C from the dangers and from the truth, BOTH men with faults, though Erik’s are a bit darker – C wants to save Erik, seeing the beauty in him, while protecting all those she loves… story follows lyrics (for hidden plot) – E wants to be with/ protect Christine from the darkness, but is too caught up in it – C wants to be with Erik, still sees him as her Angel and maestro she has long loved and revered, but is afraid of what controls him – yet knows only she can help set him free (and does)…I used several clues in movie where there was a suggestion of demons/darkness controlling Erik, including the 3 times his cloak lining went from light gold to black in same scene (sometimes within seconds), when showing instances of power, vengeance, and death - the changes of the bust on his organ – (mask slipping, cloth around it going from thick to thin seconds apart (when dark control is slipping), what looked like an eyeball looking out from right side, blindfold no longer over one eye but both eyes w/ mask missing in final lair, etc, as well as changes to the woman bust next to it – woman bust blindfolded in MOTN, then not blindfolded in final lair)… a dark demon face over white face of a man in profile in dressing room mirror…a dark cloaked figure watching C & R as they run to rooftop…the mirror leaning to left and against the other one when Christine removes tapestry, then suddenly standing straight up and inches apart, as if something pushed them aside when Erik goes off on a violent tangent toward R in final lair, and other instances throughout – also Christine taking the mask from E for HP – shows him what he must do to be rid of the darkness he was hiding behind (mask symbolizing Phantom spirit) … lots more symbolism, but no more room to write. (I still get interest from viewers/readers wishing to know about the HP – am considering making a hidden plot video series on my backup channel (AngelofMystery145), showing clues and symbolism there, but with more time involved to see them well (not timed to music beats) ;-) especially since I no longer have an image host to post screencaps on the HP site)…
Lyrics to “Demons” by Imagine Dragons
When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood’s run stale
I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There’s nowhere we can hide
CHORUS: No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
CHORUS 2: When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Curtain’s call
Is the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you've made
Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth
CHORUS & CHORUS 2
They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go
Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how
CHORUS 2
Up next: a special Outlander request, more PotO…and just more. ;-)

![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 :)
