Ulrich Schnauss - You were the only one around

a mix of (NFBC) Caroline Leaf's short film called
"The Owl who Married a Goose"
and the song
"You Where The Only One Around"
by Ulrich Schnauss.

this was stumbled upon completely by accident, while hanging out with a few good friends. We where watching NFBC films muted, and my Winamp playlist playing, and this song, out of thousands, just happend to begin at the right time, and end just the same.

its a friggin sign! it was MEANT TO BE. the odds are too crazy not to be.

Does anybody know if there is a version with English sub-titles ? I have scoured the internet without success. I'm just curious about the full story and would love to read/hear it.

@hey0ldman On the internet, I'm not sure.. but I got the DVD set from a sale at a library, and you can order DVD's from the NFBC site.

Mine was a 3 disc collection of animation, cost like, 30$ and was TOTALLY worth it. Lot's of nostalgia on those discs. Now.. I can not remember for the life of me if it had subtitles.. but I THINK it did. :) hope that helps!

@gundamwang - Thanks, I really only want to know what is being said in this clip. I don't like the ending and figure if I knew what is being said, I would understand the ending better. No biggie.

@hey0ldman it's apparently supposed to be a FUNNY story, but man, I've never laughed.

You posted the best youtube video I have ever seen. Thank You.

Did anyone else notice that on the third blink of the eye, the reflection blinked on the other eye? A symbol for accepting death, maybe?

[gundamwang]

@Schizo27 I did notice that.. but I never figured out if that was intentional or meaningful.. but that's a good an explanation as any! :D

Thanks!

Maybe you should send this to Ulrich Schnauss! x

This video works perfectly with this song. It actually made the song for me years ago. It just works perfectly.

One of the saddest music I've ever heard. Really beautiful, but just so sad.

The video makes it even worse.

@axxmad dying for what you love most might be better to live to see the death your dreams, and beyond.
