PLEASE READ – (Iyrics and dialogue below) – Some of you have been begging for another WH vid- so I hope you enjoy! :D Also, I’m adding my 2nd fave WH to my regular vidding (like I vid more than one PotO in those type vids) – which is the 1992 movie with Ralph Fiennes. Story follows lyrics – which are from both POVs. Mainly the lines are about Cathy, in their past, and Heathcliff, in the future, after his return. Mingled all throughout are their memories of how life was when they were young, happy, and together (most of these are one color, but not all of them and the one with them on horseback changes into one color, showing that the next bit in going back into the past)…Also, the last few "Don't come back for me, Don't come back at all" shows them when they both WANTED to be together on purpose- mainly to show that they always said that to each other for one reason or another (usually jealousy or revenge), and that is what it got them - Cathy on her deathbed and Heathcliff forever regretful and remorseful for taunting her/pushing her away to get his revenge for her doing the same. It does ends a bit sad – originally I thought I would do it differently, with them reunited as ghosts as story goes, but it just didn’t feel right for this song/vid to do that, so I ended it on a bittersweet note instead.
Dialogue:
Heathcliff: Why did you betray your own heart, Cathy?
Cathy: Where did you meet him?
H: You loved me… then what right did you have to leave me?
C: You left me too!
C: Heathcliff… don’t you know I’ll always come back
H: I haven’t broken your heart, Cathy - you have broken it. And in breaking it, you've broken mine.
C: Forgive me
H: I forgive what you’ve done to me… I love my murderer. But yours? How can I…?
Lyrics to “Jar of Hearts” (performed by Christina Perri)
I know I can't take one more step towards you
'Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most
I learned to live half alive
Now you want me one more time
CHORUS
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms
I've learned to live half alive
Now you want me one more time
CHORUS
It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
'Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

![PotO & LND- Breath of Life- (Erik ♥ Christine) Phantom of the Opera
PLEASE READ: (lyrics below)- I love this song. After two friends dedicated vids to me using it, I wanted to give it a go too, (though I wasnt sure I had what it took to do it. lol) Theirs are awesome, be sure and check them out- XxBrlyxX and emptyvoices31 who did it to Les Miz- and thank you, Kate, for first introducing me to this song. Your own amazing PotO vid inspired me also to try my hand at it w/ Phantom, (and it only took 36+ literal hours- I stopped counting after that. lol). Lyrics follow story- mainly in Christines POV, some in Eriks. Christine is tormented, the choirs in her head- her conscience, but also the urgings of those at the opera house to choose the right man. She no longer knows which side shes on- the side of safety and acceptance from others, which would result in an uncomplicated and privileged life w/ Raoul. Or the side of danger- but also passion and desire found with Erik, whom she craves. With Erik she feels alive (breath of life, heavenly touch), but to be with him means to go against everyone and lose that life above. She realizes she loves him but cannot live below in darkness. And if you are gone, I will not belong here - he also leaves, no longer desiring to stay in the home hed created for them once shes gone, not feeling whole anywhere, with her gone. She finds him again, having thought him dead, starting to hear him again, all the old needs & fears haunting her, the memories strong, until at last she makes the choice of her heart...the chorus so sublime is their music & love (different from the choirs in her head saying no). Heres a bit of symbolism- 5 gold tinged frames at end show who she chose- 5symbolizes them as a couple, gold a color of theirs (Box 5- his box, close to her on stage, his spirit and her voice melded, 5 cellars down to the home he made for them, etc). The rest of symbolism, and the end I leave up to the viewer to decide- you like tragedy? She dies and hes left with nothing but memories of a happier time. You like romance & HEA? She dies and theyre reunited for eternity, their breath of life renewed without the sorrow. (I prefer the second. ;-) - Clips from movies, stage shows, specials, and promos. I added a few bits with a couple of other Phantoms and Christines, to my general ones of Gerard, Emmy, Ramin, Sierra, Ben and Anna. Namely, Earl Carpenter (who from what little Ive seen of him I like a lot- hes getting up there with my faves) whoever E & C played in the Phantom reboot promo (?) and Gina Beck (w/ Ramin), who I was also impressed with as Christine.
Lyrics of Breath of Life performed by Florence and the Machine
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I was looking for a breath of life
A little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head sang,
No oh oh
To get a dream of life again
A little vision of the start at the end
But all the choirs in my head sang,
No oh oh
But I needed one more touch
Another taste of heavenly rush
And I believe, I believe it
So oh oh oh
And I needed one more touch
Another taste of divine rush
And I believe, I believe it
So oh oh oh
Whose side am I on?
Whose side am I?
Whose side am I on?
Whose side am I?
And the fever began to spread
From my heart down to my legs
But the room is so quiet,
Oh oh oh
And although I wasnt losing my mind
It was a chorus so sublime
But the room was too quiet,
(Oh the fever)
I was looking for a breath of life
A little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head sang,
No oh oh
To get a dream of life again
A little vision of the start at the end
But all the choirs in my head sang,
No oh oh
[Instrumental]
Choir: And the final dream of life
And the chorus so sublime
And the room was so quiet
Its a harder way (long, long way?) and its come to claim her
And I always say,
We should be together
I can see below
Cause theres something in here
And if you are gone
I will not belong (not belong here)
(Be long, be long, be long)
And I started to hear it again
But this time it wasnt the end
And the room is so quiet,
Oh oh oh
And my heart is a hollow plane
For the devil to dance again
But the room is too quiet
Oh oh oh
I was looking for a breath of life
A little touch of heavenly life
But all the choirs in my head sang
No, oh oh...

![PotO - Riverside (Erik ♥ Christine) Phantom of the Opera- a request
PLEASE READ – (Iyrics below- watch in HD for best experience) – by request for iSHiNE2011 - I hope you can see it (song was blocked in so many countries, sadly thats the way of it sometimes - but I had to do it. lol) Those who can’t see it and want to, I can try to post it at Dailymotion or Vimeo and see if it works there – just let me know. A special thanks to Carmen (xbellamydog12x), (for telling me of that cool effect/filter), and to ThePhantomsSiren (for sending me the wonderful clip of my latest Phantom add-on to these multi prod. PotO vids.) The Phantoms here are: Gerard Butler, Ramin Karimloo, Mathias Edenborn, Earl Carpenter, Ben Lewis, with a few others thrown in here and there (from trailers). Story follows lyrics (told in 3 povs - Erik’s, Christine’s, and Raoul’s) – I know it was a lake, but for this vid, well pretend its a river. ;-) - The river is different things to different people: To Erik, it’s a hideout and a place to meet secretly with his beloved – to Christine, it’s a place as mysterious as the man she has come to love – and to Raoul, it’s a place of danger and death. The river in this video is also symbolic of Erik and Christines relationship – the river often signifying life, but having dangerous and unseen undercurrents – a place of pain as well as beauty, of hidden depths and secrets...

“Riverside” by Agnes Obel
Down by the river by the boats
Where everybody goes to be alone
Where you wont see any rising sun
Down to the river we will run
When by the water we drink to the dregs
Look at the stones on the river bed
I can tell from your eyes
Youve never been by the riverside
Down by the water the riverbed
Somebody calls you somebody says
Swim with the current and float away
Down by the river everyday
Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I dont know why I go the way
Down by the riverside
When that old river runs past your eyes
To wash off the dirt on the riverside
Go to the water so very near
The river will be your eyes and ears
I walk to the borders on my own
To fall in the water just like a stone
Chilled to the marrow in them bones
Why do I go here all alone
[x2:]
Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I dont know why I go the way
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside [x2]
