Moonlight - "You're Only Crying for Yourself"

This Moonlight video is set to the new Butcher Boy song, "You're Only Crying for Yourself." Lyrics are included below. This video is for human Mick - how can he cope with losing mortality for a second time? The point of view is Beth's. All scenes are from Moonlight episodes 11, 12, and 13.

Mick: Alex O'Loughlin
Beth: Sophia Myles


You crack like a glass on the southern side
Above us the moon will haul a lonely tide
I fall, fall, through a filthy fog
To meet you in the station by the hanging clock
The bells in the clock will chime a song for you
"As you were growing older I grew older too"
The life on the carousel should send you home
You want to go
But you won't

You crackle like fire and I can see
You're fitter, fiercer, than you used to be
I fall, fall, through a bitter cold
To meet you in the harbor by the tallest boat
The buoys in the dock will peal a song for you
"As you were growing older I grew older too"
The face in the photograph would send me home
But you won't

You're crying for yourself
Confusing how you feel with how you felt
I keep the calendar clean
So you can fall asleep
Fall upon the sword and fall on me

We scatter like stars when the ruck is done
You paint me, you frame me, you hang me up
You fall, fall, over pines and dunes
To rest, to rust, between the bud and bloom
The birds on the wire will sing a song for you
"As you were growing older I grew older too"
The arc and the melody will send me home
When you won't

You're just crying for yourself
Confusing how you feel with how you felt
I keep the calendar clean
So you can fall asleep
Fall upon the sword and fall on me

I'm so glad you liked this; it is my favorite Butcher Boy song too, and it was delightfully fun to set a Moonlight video to the song.

Hi, just watching again, I noticed the part where sleeping- mortal- Mick pic come over newly- turned -Mick pic , again and again. What a wonderful way to show the contrast ..and outline his extreme decision.Oh, and again, what colors and lights!!

[maggatha3]

What wonderful lyrics this song has!! Your black-and -white and coloured scenes interaction was beautiful ..and I love his inner struggle between mortality and vampirism from Beth's PoV. Your videos are so fantastic, they flow, you need to watch more times only to see the editing details.
