PLEASE READ to understand - (lyrics below) - Well, I didn’t get my Halloween vid up in time - lol - just wasn’t happy with it and decided to wait as I ironed out a few kinks - hope you enjoy! : )…. This is the sequel to Ghost Opera (Kamelot) - and for my own story, it is the PREQUEL to my Ghost Opera PotO vid. In that vid (I will post the link here in description) - unseen forces control the opera house, and you find out that Erik and Christine are themselves ghosts there (though no one else knows it), playing their music throughout time. The story for this prequel vid: We find out how Christine died, and see Erik’s guilt and continued desire to keep his promise to her - having wanted to make their dreams of music and togetherness come true, making her his star. He encourages and seduces her to join with him at the Opera House, after having found her body by the lake (in song, it’s a river). At first she resists - still upset, uncertain, and hurt by all that happened and how Erik was a part of that hurt - and she warily approaches the idea to enter back into that life. But through his sweet persuasions he soon entrances her with his dreams, making them her dreams, their love also taking wing. They begin their ghost symphony - entertaining all those who enter the doors with her song and his music.
Symbolism - of course! lol The frame that flashes with the beat resembles them - red (his color), green (her color), blue (the color of music) - (yeah, I took that from HP as most of my symbolism tends to lean that way now. lol) When it shows her as a ghost mid-song, the clips shown with it are the dreams Erik has showing her what they can be/who they are together. At the end, it shows all they accomplished as they share an intimate moment after the performance, and their true nature as ghosts shimmers forth with the reality of who they are…. sparkle clips - Pond5
My Ghost Opera vid - Part 2 of story: youtu.be/4qtauL4Woho
Lyrics to “Opus of the Night” performed by Kamelot
It was cold the day they found you by the river
Broken dreams had turned to ice upon your cheek
It was cold the day I swore
Until my dying breath
I'd give my life to heal those broken dreams
I've waited
Longed for the day
To show you
To take you away
[Chorus]
Rise to the queen of the symphony
Watch her step into the light
Surrender your heart to the melody
Let it take flight
She'll sing to you
The opus of the night
Trembling steps into a world she had forgotten
Dusty roses on a royal velvet seat
And the letter in her name
Brings her back again
Familiar the notes upon the sheet
I've waited
Longed for the day
Seduce me
Take me away
[Chorus]
A dark silhouette
Lingering age old desperation
Reviving grand nostalgia
Come shivers of pure admiration
Close your eyes
Now let your emotions take flight
Goddess in white
[Chorus]
One last encore for the queen of the stage
One final bow for the old prima donna
I sing to you
The opus of the night
(coming up - Outlander, a Calivia vid and more…)
