okay so yes this is my part for the WORM TM did:
youtu.be/9tlzRKu31KI

It's actually pretty symbolic in some ways and I suppose that I will explain it to you guys so you know what I'm on about. Anyway, I really like this song and actually wanted to edit an AMV with it. So, when people of TM started suggesting a WORM MEP as a celebration for reaching 5,000 subscribers, I decided that I might as well edit with it for that. I just really like the atmosphere of this song and it's very powerful, so, I knew that I had to use it and I wanted to kind of focus on the Sindrian crew for this, where the main focus would be on Sinbad, as he is the head of a successful trading company and for a while, serves as a king. I didn't want to focus too much on him however, so I decided to put scenes of the Sindrian crew instead. Honestly, I wanted to make it as an mmv at first but due to the time limit, I reached the conclusion that it was a stupid idea.

Overall, I'm happy with the result and while there are a few things I would like to change or add, I sticked with the idea that I had from the begining. On an almost entirely unrelated note; you should check out the full WORM on TM's channel. I am very happy with the way that it turned out, as it looks gorgeous and everyone put so much work into their parts.

Well, this is dedicated to TM. Line, Chloe, Marialena, Oyata, Shelly, Caro, Crus, Kam- this list is going to get long so I'm just going to say this instead; to everyone that were active in the TM chat the past few days I love you guys

To get to the actual video and all of the references that need explaining, or probably don't but.. Eh. "I don't care if I sing off key, I find myself in my melodies", might be a very obvious reference to both Sinbad and Mystras. The young Sinbad, who has lost his father to war and has a very sick mother, doesn't agree with Parthevia's ideals at the time. He doesn't care that his opinions are viewed as wrong and wants to achieve his dream, which is to change the world and make it a better place. Mystras wants to see the world but his religion and father is preventing him from doing such. He doesn't care that his dreams are viewed as immoral and so, just keeps on voicing them so that he one day may leave the country and explore the world. So, when this finally happens, he finds himself completely caught up in the rest of the world.

"I sing for love, I sing for me." is used for Sinbad, Ja'far and Hinahoho. Sinbad because he wants to achieve world peace, a world where war never occurs and people will not take to hateful actions. He makes himself stand out as an amazing and powerful person with no flaws. Ja'far slowly finds himself changing and he wants to protect those he loves so that they will not have to suffer. Hinahoho, when he is younger, has a very bad self-confidence and wishes to prove himself through heading to the dungeon.

"I'll shout it out like a bird set free." is to show that Ja'far is slowly becoming a better person and somebody he, himself, doesn't hate. He's a bird set free from himself. Hinahoho realises that he is powerful and not the worthless person he has believed himself to be. So, he pushes himself to be a stronger and braver person. Masrur is a free but also caged bird. He doesn't falter but he's still put in chains, so, this is an ironic reference in a way? You can interpret it however you would like. Sinbad at the end is very ironic, actually. He's far from a bird set free, even if he has so much power. He is caged in his own mind and the expectations he has on himself. He became somebody his younger self, that wrote all the stories, never wanted him to be.

And the other parts that are instrumental are to show that the country they built was torn to the ground and now they're ready to do anything to protect it.. Basically

AH WELL THAT'S IT
