Scored Snow in Stow

Snow around Walthamstow in 2007, edited with music.

P.S I first heard the song BBC's Wallander series.

P.S.S Here are the lyrics from the artists blog:

http://www.emily-barker.com/2010/02/nostalgia.html

Tram wires cross Melbourne skies
cut my red heart in two
my knuckles bleed down Johnston street
on a door that shouldn't be in front of me

Twelve thousand miles away from your smile
I'm twelve thousand miles away from me
standing on the corner of Brunswick
got the rain coming down and mascara on my cheek

Oh whisper me words in the shape of a bay
shelter my love from the wind and the rain

Crow fly be my alibi
and return this fable on your wing
take it far away to where gypsies play
beneath metal stars by the bridge

Oh write me a beacon so I know the way
guide my love through night and through day

Only the sunset knows my blind desire for the fleeting
only the moon understands the beauty of love
when held by a hand like the aura of nostalgia

by Emily Barker

What a wonderful video. Loved every frame of it.

[yuambari]

@conceptdevelopment So do I, but then again, I'm biased.

[dusxmcna]

Props for the video!

BTW, where can we find the lyrics?

[yuambari]

I have no idea where to find lyrics. Although, I particularly like the phrase 'across Melbourne skies' at 0:49, it seems so remote and yet somehow still quite evocative.

[jouliejewels]

I've been looking a very long time for this song! :) Glad I found it!

Ps.Like the video very much!

[yuambari]

Your welcome, glad to be of service.

(2. part):

Crow fly be my alibi

and return this fable on your wing

take it far away to where gypsies play

beneath metal stars by the bridge

Oh write me a beacon so I know the way

guide my love through night and through day

Only the sunset knows my blind desire for the fleeting

only the moon understands the beauty of love

when held by a hand like the aura of nostalgia

tram wires cross melbourne skys

cut my red heart in two

my knuckles bleed down jonson street

on a door that shouldn't be in front of me

twelve thousand miles away from your smile

I'm twelve thousand miles away from me

standing on the corner of brunswick

got the rain come down and a scar on my cheek

oh whisper me words in the shape of a babe

shelter my love from the wind and the waves

[FlowerLotte]

AND THE SCAR ON MY CHEEK

Should be

And Mascara on my cheek

SHELTER MY LOVE FROM THE WIND AND THE rain

Should be

Shelter my love from the wind and the waves

LEAVE MEadow STARS BY THE BRIDGE

Should be

Beneath in stead of Leave
