PotO- "The Chevalier"- (Erik ♥ Christine)- 700+ subs- (OTGA)

PLEASE READ: (lyrics below)- Thank you to all my wonderful subscribers for your support! :) This song is fantastic- I just had to push it up on my to do list for my 700+ subs vid- thank you to nenadlpopovic for introducing me to this band!- (and please support the artists of music and movie)... note: a "chevalier" is a knight or man from the lowest order (title) in France. Since Erik was an antihero, think of him as a black knight (known as "Phantom" ;-)). - Song is in both POVs: When he sings - it's to her. When she sings, it's to him. Story: Erik tries to convince Christine that she's the only one for him, but she's heard of the dangers he creates - he's full of mystery, dark passion, rumored to be a spy, etc. She's seen how dangerous he is but can't stop thinking about him though she knows she should for her own safety. Having loved no one but her, Erik grows desperate to have her, wooing and seducing her, begging her, even finally demanding it of her - that she chooses to love and marry him. He asks what he must do to change her mind, vowing he will always love and protect her - but she says nothing. He believes he's lost her, because of his dark reputation. At end, night falls, but he doesn't wish to go. He tells her to tell him to go, but only if that's what she wants, that he will leave Paris and go to Venice. (the scenes behind the clips of them at that point of song are supposed to be Venice, his memories of it, which don't bring the satisfaction they once did.) He's sad but resigned when she doesn't stop him or tell him what he wants to hear. The last clips are outside the opera house at night, as he's leaving- realizing she will lose him, Christine throws all ideas of common sense and propriety to the wind and lets her heart make her decision.

At times, "A game" sounds like "love me" - I found lyrics online- they could be wrong (it's happened before). Take as you will, but for this vid, the order from him of "Love me!" works best. Oh, and anyone know what the "Leads" are? I searched but found nothing. It sounds dangerous though, someone from which a spy might run...

New thing I did: This time I used the "shadows and highlights" filter that I customized to bring out the percussion especially, when I wanted emphasis at certain points. Very cool feature!

Clips from Phantom of the Opera
Lyrics of "The Chevalier" sung by Serenity

When silence comes
And I focus all on the inside
I take a look into my past
Full of wrongs, full of rights,
The story of my life

So many different places,
Enjoyed so many nights, I danced with chances
I made my way
Until this present day

[Chorus:]
You are one I'd give my life for
You are the one who is haunting my dreams
Oh how I long to be yours forevermore
For all time our love shall be prime

I still see you dancing...

That night in that shiny hall
The same old boring gentry, then you caught my eyes
You played your game, used all your sweetest words
I was entertained, but tell me are they true...

... things they say about you
A mason and a spy, he knows all beds,
Escaped the 'Leads'
Oh Chevalier, tell me another lie

[Chorus]

Hold me
How can I?
A game
... like all your gambles?
The only
... until this day is gone?
Hold me
How can I?
A game
... like all your gambles?
What can I do to change your mind?

[Chorus]

I'll make this vow tonight

I see all lights are low
show me I have to go
Venice can ease all my pain
Will do so once again
