Merlin - White Lies (Arthur & Merlin)

[Hpdm1988]

This song is perfect for Merlin !

[Shinayano]

Hey, that was brilliant editing and the song really fit very well. It casts Merlin in a bit of a less humorous light than the show does.

I like how your vid elaborates the finer shades of the conflict between Merlin and Arthur - and also the development Arthur undergoes throughout the series.

I have been looking for a video like this one for some time. Thank you!

[THEpowerOFme]

@Shinayano

Well thank you for such an in-depth comment! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it so much and that it lived up to your expiations. It really was a perfect song for them, I couldn't resist. >.< Thanks again.

[QueenMegaera]

@Shinayano Well, that was pretty much all the things I wanted to say too. *Great minds think alike?*

The song really puts the spotlight on something thats often almost overlooked in the show. I often wonder, when Arthur eventually finds out (which I'm beginning to think wont be until the end of series five) if the hard part to swallow actually won't be the magic but the fact that Merlin's been lying to him for YEARS.

[Shinayano]

@QueenMegaera Yes, that's true. Merlin sort of stumbles into that cycle of lies that he can't break out of - and even when he knows he can trust Arthur, how can he ever tell him? It's heartwrenching to think about q.q

I really wonder if he will ever tell Arthur. And I guess it would almost be better not to see it. I suppose the series is in mayor danger of ruining that moment we've been waiting for so long... hehe

[QueenMegaera]

@Shinayano Yeah, either that or they'll make it really quiet and undramatic, because the expectations are too much to live up to.

[Kittielove30]

This great! It's so true, I loved it!

[THEpowerOFme]

@Kittielove30

Thank you, I'm so glad that you enjoyed it so much! :D Thanks for commenting. 

[BelleMarianne]

My God ! It's really excellent. I mean, all the editing is perfect and you matched the clips choice so well to the lyrics and music ! Plus that song is so entertaining. I didn't know it so thank you for making that gorgeous vid on that song. I couldn't tell you the moment I like better. But surely I love the whole work.

[THEpowerOFme]

@BelleMarianne

Aww thank you, I'm so glad that you enjoyed it so much and thought that the clips went well! Not to mention I'm pleased to introduce anyone to this song, I love it so much! So thanks for commenting and letting me know! :D

[arien14]

This was wonderful! And an excellent song for their situation.

[THEpowerOFme]

@arien14

Thank you, I'm so glad that you think so! I agree, the song's brilliant, I couldn't resist using it once I'd heard it. XD Thanks for commenting.

[FayeShinomori]

My favorite part where the line, "Sometimes, good men do bad things," and Uther was shown putting that man to death. Perfect choice of clips for that. I have saved this to my faves, I just forgot to comment! I try my hardest to comment on every vid that I save to my faves! Good job!

[THEpowerOFme]

@FayeShinomori

Thanks for letting me know. I'm glad you liked it enough to want to save it! :) I know, I'm quite lucky how well the lyrics fit with all the characters. >.< he he Thanks again for commenting. :)

Thank you, I'm so glad that you enjoyed it so much! :) Thanks for commenting.

[darkstarkc99]

Excellent video...I've never seen this series, but you've managed to peak my interest in watching it, by your masterful storytelling. Great use of the special effects too, It added a lot to the edit, and was quite creative if I do say so. All in all a great fandom edit...5 stars for sure!

[THEpowerOFme]

Aww thank you, I'm so pleased! You really couldn't have given me a better compliment then saying that I might have persuaded you to check out the show because it really is fantastic! XD Thanks for letting me know and for such a high rating, I'm so glad that you enjoyed it... I just hope that you enjoy the show now too. ; ) he he

[rhiannontiller]

[THEpowerOFme]

Thank you, I'm so glad that you think so! :D Thanks for commenting.

[misscynthia17]

I've watched it again and nnow I can enjoy it properly ! and you're so damn right the song is PERFECT !!!!

The bit with the rat cracked me up, and the keys XD

[THEpowerOFme]

Thank you, I'm so glad that you enjoyed it even more this time around! :) Thanks for letting me know.

[misscynthia17]

OMG the audio is back !!!! *does happy dance*

and finally I have started watching, finished season one yesterday :D and now so cannot wait to start s2 :D You were right it is BRILLANT !!!

[THEpowerOFme]

S2 is even better than S1! I know, shocking right!? lol. But it's true. Everything's more complex and mature but just as funny as always. he he.

[MusicDoll28]

haha your right. The music is back.

That's so great Sophie, YouTube's decided to play nice.

Again really fantastic video.

[THEpowerOFme]

Wow, it's so strange that YT would be nice like that, what a fluke! Anyway, thanks for checking for me, I really appreciate it! I guess I can take down that notice now. XD *bobs up and down happily* he he

[WannabeMrsCullen]

Love this! Btw my name is Sophie too! haha x

[THEpowerOFme]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! And amazed that the audio's back! :D he he Thanks for commenting.

[Bex19]

Great now I know what's gonna happen to my Doctor/Rose video now...and I am half way through it! Ha! Not funny! =D

YT are getting ridiculous. This is a brilliant video and they have to go and mute it! =O

[THEpowerOFme]

Don't loose hope and give up! Maybe you just need to be a little more sneaky and do things that might help it slip through the net. After all, it was blantently obvious what the song was and who sung it in mine. No wonder they found it. *rolls eyes* lol

[Bex19]

Yeah I could try at least, maybe just changing the music a little bit in places could trick them hmm....

No I won't give up! Darn Youtube! You won't beat me!

We will beat them! =D Haha!

Thankyou for the encouragement. XD

[doctorwho415]

first of all, what happened to merlin's face?? (could be i missed the episode... i missed a lot b/c i had other things happening... which made me a little angry.)

and second, the people who took away the sound are annoying!! i got so excited when i first clicked the link to this video... and i cant even watch it properly.

[THEpowerOFme]

You can if you doanload it. It won't take long! As for Merlin's face, well... let's just say he had a soft and rather smelly landing in the first episode of series 2. XP he he.

[misscynthia17]

Oh No they did it again :s

Hopefully we can still watch it, thanks for free download !!!

By the way, when I'm finished with Bones, I'll start Merlin :D

[seduff]

I still can't believe You Tube muted this video a second time even after you disputed it! *grrr* Glad to see the downloads posted, may even have to download a copy for myself now that i can't watch it here. Stupid copyright *grumbles indistinctly* I do hope this doesn't indicate a permanent change in disputing claims.

Still such a brilliant video Sophie. I encourage everyone to at least download the ipod version and take a look. :D x

[THEpowerOFme]

*huggles and squeezes tightly*

I echo that sentiment exactly! XD he he Thanks Sarah.

[gamesnow]

thanks for download links! :) I was really angry, when i wanted to watch this video again, but the audio was gone. Stupid YT =) It´s totally amazing, i adore the song. The editing was amazing. I can watch it 500 times in row :) 5* and faved. And subbed :) Make amazing vids like this please!

[THEpowerOFme]

Thanks for comming back to comment, rate and fav. I'm so glad that you enjoyed it so much! :D We'll beat those gremlins yet! he he

[FairyKingdom86]

Loved this! I went and looked for the song somewhere else on Youtube and watched it along with this. Amazing job! Loved the editing and little flashes and then the "white lies" writing popping up.

[THEpowerOFme]

Aww thanks for taking the time to view it with the white Lies song! But I imagine it wasn't the same since the editing would have been off and you would have been missing the sound bites about Merlin lying. So if you would like to watch this video in full, please read the video info, as I now have it availible for download. :) Thanks again!

[CGwonder]

the music been taken out. could you upload it again or somewhere else?

[THEpowerOFme]

This video is now abailible for download. If you would like to view it please read the video info at the side. Thank you. :)

[sk8erguy39]

NO! The audio's been ransacked! D:

[THEpowerOFme]

I know sorry but this video is now availible for download so if you would like to view it please read the video info. :)

[sk8erguy39]

Great, thanks :)

[jenskii]

This was a fantastic video! The song was very fitting (and it might've just gotten stuck in my head now, I've never actually heard it before!) and I loved the colour changes you did during the chorus. Nice work with the text, as well! It's so good to see another video from you!!!!!!! :D ♥

[THEpowerOFme]

Good! This song needs to be loved by everyone because I certainly can't get enough of it! XD he he Thanks for commenting. I'm so glad that you enjoyed the video so much and liked the colour change at the chorus! It's the first time I've done something like that so I'm glad you think it worked well. :) My next vid will be the reupload of 'The Doctor Dances' on my backup account so if you're interested in seeing it in HD I'd rec. that you'd subscribe.*smiles cheekily* he he Anyway, thanks again!

[DarkMerlinKnight]

wow...just wow

[THEpowerOFme]

Well wow's certainly more than enough for me! So thanks for commenting, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :)

[pinkchimpanzee]

I LOVE this vid! The song is perfect and the editing is really good :D I love Arthur/Merlin; I JUST WISH THEY'D GET TOGETHER ALREADY!!! Haha :P

[THEpowerOFme]

Aww, I know but they never will. Which is sad, but true. *sighs* Oh well, at least we've got the Merlin fandom to indulge in! he he. Anyway, thanks for commenting, I'm so glad that you enjoyed the video so much! :D

[pinkchimpanzee]

*sighs* Stupid legend...if only they weren't trying to follow it...Then we could have all the wonderful Merlin/Arthur that all the fans are dying for :P But I guess we will have to put up with what we already have...*another deep sigh* Haha anyways just want to say again that this is a great vid :D

[AisicsRule]

One of these days, I will actually get around to watching Merlin. :P I loved this video! Great job on it! And this is such a small thing really, but the scrolling credits at the end where the bg was white for White Lies and transitioned into a black bg so the title just blended into the new bg just looked really cool! I don't know why I was so fascinated by it. lol The guy who plays Merlin just looks so awesome! Man, I really need to grab those eps from my friend.

[THEpowerOFme]

Yes Amber you deffientely do because I know you'll absolutly LOVE it! Thanks for commenting on the rolling credits. It was just a little idea I had and I'm sure it'll get over looked by most but I'm glad you liked it! And glad you liked the video it's self, considering you're not already a fan of the show...but you're planning on rectifying that soon, aren't you? *nods head in encouragement* XP he he

P.s. Do you recognise Merlin from a series four DW ep? It's the emo kid from 'Midnight'! lol

[AisicsRule]

OMG! I can't believe I missed that! Of course! He is the kid from Midnight. I was too busy thinking he seemed to have several of Nine's mannerisms which of course had me all distracted thinking of Christopher Eccleston. :P lol And yes, I am definitely thinking of rectifying my appalling lack of Merlin viewing very soon. Like next week soon. :D

[dolcegebana]

WOW

This was Awesome!

going into my favorites

Love Arthur and Merlin to bits

[THEpowerOFme]

Thank you, I'm so glad that you think so! :) Thansk for commenting and for, of course, favouriting it.

[Bex19]

Fantastic!

I love Merlin and I love this song too.

I'm actually planning on making a Doctor Who video to it.

Well done! =)

Bex19

[THEpowerOFme]

Ooo, let me know when you do. I'd love to see it! But be careful because it's owned by UMG so chances are that it'll get claimed like mine was before it's even finished uploading. *sighs and rolls eyes* Anyway, thanks for commenting, I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. :)

[Bex19]

Ohh ok thankyou for telling me. Hopefully I'll get around it somehow or they will just me extremely nice and let me upload it. *Doubts very much* :P

I will let you know, I'm so happy you're even interested in what I make seen as you're such a fantastic vidder.

I enjoyed your video alot. LOVE Merlin, LOVE Mr Hudson. LOVE this video =D

[DistantDreamer93]

I adore this video. I can't really say anything that the comments before me haven't said just that this video is so perfect.

5* and faved. Awesome.

Really fits their relationship well - I wonder if we will ever see the moment Arthur finds out the truth about Merlin ?

[THEpowerOFme]

Just the fact that you enjoyed it is enough for me! Thanks for commenting, for such a high rating and for favouriting. :) As for Arthur finding out about Merlin, well..... if we're lead to believe the episode previews, he might find out next week! XD he he... But of course, knowing Merlin, he doubt has someway out of it all. lol Anyway, thanks again!

[MusicDoll28]

Wow this is really fantastic.. I became hooked on Merlin this summer when it aired in America. Now it's become an obsession.

The video was great. I love the Merlin/Arthur bromance.

Also I've never heard this song but I love it now. Must go download it.

[THEpowerOFme]

lol, Can't say I blame you! It does get quite addictive. I'm not looking forward to the series finishing, that's for sure, but at least it's got quite a bit of promise for future series, especially since the fans seemed to have quadrupled since last series! *claps happily*

Anyway, back to the vid at hand. lol Thanks so much for commenting and for liking the song enough to go and download it! That too is eaqually addictive! he he. I'm so glad that you enjoyed the vid! Thanks again. :)

[Sharingonsandninja]

Never heard of this show. Looks pretty cool. I should watch it. Anyway awesome editing, thanks for the vid!

[THEpowerOFme]

You should deffinetely check it out! If you're a fan of DW or Robin Hood then you'll love Merlin! Anyway thanks for commenting, I'm so glad that you enjoyed the vid. Especially since you're not already a fan of the show! That means a lot, thanks. :)

[Nyah86Production]

Brilliant video! Love the editing and the song fits perfectly. Best part was from 0:00 to 3:02.

Merlin rocks! ;D

[THEpowerOFme]

lol, and you even enjoyed the missing second? Wow, that's a quite a compliment, thank you! he he. And thanks for commenting, I'm so glad that you liked the song choice and editing. :)

[THEpowerOFme]

So erm... you might want to ignore my ramblings about an extra second. I thought that the video was only 3:01 seconds long so erm... yeah... sorry about that. lol. But anyway, thanks again! XD

[valkyriecain4]

Love this vid. Love Merlin.And especially love Arthur!!! (L)

[THEpowerOFme]

lol. that's a lot of love! :) he he Thanks for commenting, I'm so glad that you enjoyed it!

[misscynthia17]

I think I'll soon start to watch the show, it simply looks so brillant and so many people seem to be hooked ^^

Loved your video !!!

[THEpowerOFme]

What!? You mean you're not watching it already? *gasps* Shame on you girl. Go now and enjoy the awsomeness of Arthur and the silliness of Merlin! he he. Anyway, thanks for commenting. It means that much more just knowing that you weren't already a fan of the show. But I really do think you need to watch the show. I'm sure you'd love it! *nods head in agreement with self*

[misscynthia17]

I know *feels more ashamed than she already does ...*

still I don't have time, I have to prepare my exams and catch up with some uni work I kept posponing, but no worries it is on my to do list and I'll watch it, I may ask someone to give it to me as a crimbo present ^^

[theHowlingWolf]

beautiful :D

[THEpowerOFme]

Thanks Sandra, I'm glad you think so! :) Thanks for commenting.

[IWYVideo]

Haha, perfect song! Great vid!

[THEpowerOFme]

Thank you, I'm so glad that you think so! :D Thanks for commenting.

[Flowergirl106]

I still haven't seen Merlin, but it's vids like this that really make me want to. It looks like a really cool show! And this is a great video.

[THEpowerOFme]

You should see Merlin! It's brilliant. Vids can't even touch on how brilliant it is, it's *that* brilliant! he he... have I persuaded you yet!? *looks hopeful* Well thanks for watching and commenting anyway. It means a lot considering you weren't already a fan of the show. I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

[Specialisyou]

God this is amazing!! :D this show is amazing!! so captivating! <3

[THEpowerOFme]

I know, it's a brilliant show. It's distracting me from the gloominess of DW brilliantly! lol. Anyway, thanks for commenting. I'm so glad that you enjoyed it! :)

[EllenRebecca3]

Hooray! I was waiting for a brilliant video for someone and this came along at last! I love Merlin and this fit the Merlin/Arthur idea of them being gay perfectly. 5/5 stars

[THEpowerOFme]

lol. I have to admit, it does! But at the same time it can fit their friendship pretty well as well. So everyone can be happy. Yay! lol. Anyway, thanks for commenting, I'm so glad that you enjoyed it so much! :D Not to mention, thanks for such a high rating.

[EllenRebecca3]

"at the same time it can fit their friendship pretty well as well" That's perfectly true. :-) I've got to catch up with Merlin again - the last one I saw was when Arthur and Guin kissed. What's the episode after that called?

[THEpowerOFme]

A two parter called 'Beaty and the Beast' It's absolutly brilliant! The best episodes of the series yet.... but next episode looks pretty great too. he he

[PirateTillTheEnd]

Excellent video! Very well edited once again! Hope you continue to vid Merlin :)

[THEpowerOFme]

Thank you, I hope I do too! I've been wanting to vid Merlin for ages, I just couldn't find a song good enough for it. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for commenting! :)

[HogwartsHonorRoll]

This is far too brilliant for words.

The song is just....if it was anymore Arthur and Merlin it'd be smacking us in the face. Which is absolutely a good thing.

The editing is, as usual, superb.

And I'm totally looking forward to more Merlin stuff from youu!!

[THEpowerOFme]

You mean it didn't smack you in the face!? O.o *shock horror* LOL. I'm so glad that you liked the song choice and the editing! Thanks for commenting. Hopefully I'll be able to make another Merlin vid soon.... infact I do have an idea one..... hmm.... *goes off to ponder*

[RosetylerProductions]

oh and also have to say - love the song choice too xD

*goes off and downloads it* =P

[THEpowerOFme]

Yay! You should, it's brilliant. I'm still not sick of hearing it and that never happens! he he. Anyway, thanks again.

[RosetylerProductions]

amazing vid as usual xD 5* and faved <3 x

[THEpowerOFme]

Thank you, I'm so glad that you think so! XD Thanks for such a high rating and for favouriting!

[heroestwdw]

I love this! This song fits Merlin and Arthur so well. Your editing is awesome! Brilliant!

[THEpowerOFme]

Thank you, I'm so glad that you enjoyed it so much and especially that you liked the song choice! :) Thanks for commenting.

[seduff]

I just can't get over how perfect this song is for Merlin and Arthur, such a brilliant choice! I especially love your cutting at the start of every chorus and the verse "good men do bad things". You're selection of clips and voice are absolutely spot on. (oh and i can definitely hear Merlin better now at 2:12. :D)

Now i just have to get this song out of my head again! XD Brilliant work Soph!

[THEpowerOFme]

Thanks Sarah! And thanks for your help as always! :) I did fiddle with the audio a little at 2:12 so I'm glad that it payed off! But you'll notice, instead of finding one big white lie, I found loads of little ones instead. LOL. *sighs* Oh well. Thanks again! *huggles*

[Queen0ftheCastle]

This was really good! I'm so excited to see something new from you! It was great! ^_^

[THEpowerOFme]

Aww thank you, I'm so glad that you are! I have to admit, it's nice to upload something new again. :) Anyway, thanks for commenting.

[kissmrule]

i so lvoe this vieo it so cool and sweet

[THEpowerOFme]

Thank you, I'm so glad that you do. :) Thanks for commenting.
