The Heart of Flanders Field

Hmmmm... well, I'm not entirely sure what I was thinking when I made this one. And it's definitely still rather rough... I didn't even have a plot line or anything for making it... Lets see if I can make one up off the top of my head.

...Nope, nothing. Maybe later, though? I have the inklings of a story to share, but not yet. What are your opinions on it? What do you think the story is?

By the way, the song is actually a poem called "Flanders Field". Here are the words, in case anyone cares:

~~~~~
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
~~~~

I own nothing used in this video, I am only a fan. The video clips were acquired from kh-vids.net, and the song was performed by the University of North Texas A Cappella Choir & Jerry McCoy. They have amazing talent!

Beautiful, especially the video you made to go along with it [yes I know it's Kingdom Hearts]

When I heard the song today in chorus, I fell in love with it, and to hear it like this [instead of our horrid voices] it makes me feel so...refreshed ^.^ Nicely done.

Thank you very much! I am glad you liked it. I first heard it sung by the high school's choir when I was still in... was it eighth grade? Seventh? Something like that. I was very taken by it as well. I am glad there is another who can appreciate this lovely piece of music! :)

[WolfYoukaiTomoe]

Bwahaha! Why thank you, my friend!! I did try hard, even if it wasn't really that hard to make. I did like the 'felt dawn, saw sunset glow' part too. :) I'm glad you like it so much!

lol, I didn't find this until now (I was rewatching it cuz it's so freakin' awesome :D) cuz you posted a review on your own video instead of replying to me. XD lol, silly Tomoe. ^^

[WolfYoukaiTomoe]

Yeah, I didn't notice until after I posted it.

Whoops... ^.^;

Aww, you like it so much you're rewatching it?

Thank you!

By the way, Happy Belated Turkey Day! :)

Woah... Eerie...

I like it ^_^

5/5

Thank you so much! I was kinda going for the 'eerie' effect. I'm glad you liked it.

oh my gosh, thank you so much!! i've been looking for this version of the song FOREVER. my choir teacher showed it to me ^-^ and, i love kingdom hearts, so that's a HUGE bonus!! :DD

[skyebirdsings]

I haven't seen many good Kingdom Hearts AMVs but this one is amazing. The song is amazing, we're singing this in Chambers at my school, so I'm singing the song along with the video ^^

haha but seriously amazing job.

[melissalouise2]

wow. this was fantastic. My chorus is singing this now and I was looking for a recording and happened to stumble upon your video. I haven't thought about Kingdom Hearts in a while, so thanks for reminding me.

The whole song reminds me of a long fall... with the tenors moving really quickly like clothes flapping in the wind and the slower, more continuous movement of the other parts like the entire drop. you probably weren't going for that, but it definitely works.

thanks :)

Ohmygawd, this was sooo awesome!! *bouncing up and down in her seat* Seriously, if I could swear to God without it being against my religion, I'd say that no one could've possibly done it better then this. 8D Soooooo, amazing.

And the whole "felt dawn, saw sunset glow" part was done SO well!! ahhhhh!!! *faints with joy*
