Rise Aganst - The Approaching Curve Music Video

music video of one of my favorite songs of rise against that i made on microsoft paint. it was late, i was very bored, and very hungry. so don't be too harsh. obviously i'm not the best artist.

lyrics:

The music played with a calming frequency
The speakers gently seeped the sounds of ambient keyboards and light percussion
Creating a seductive soundtrack to our midnight drive through curtains of blackness
The windows were cold to the touch, reflecting the icy conditions in our immediate extremity
Salt stains and fingerprints littered the glass
And streaks with melted snow cascaded down its length
The music pulsed louder, yet gentle, like the far away squeal of a pot of boiling water
The skylight was glowing faintly with vague hints of an impending dawn
The car raced along a painfully straight stretch of road
And she hadn't so much as turned the steering wheel two degrees in the last twenty minutes
Nor had we spoken

As we were, so perfect, so happy
They'll remember only our smiles
Cause that's all they've seen
Long since dried, when we are found
Are the tears in which we had drowned
As we were, so perfect, so happy

"Why are you doing this?" she spoke as if not expecting a response
Her voice penetrated the still air of our speechless drive, so suddenly that my heart had jumped
"I'm not doing anything." I said, but I didn't even believe that myself
"This is what's best, for me, for you, for us," or maybe just for me, I thought
As a tears formed in the pit of her eye
The music poured through the speakers and we were losing ourselves in the cadence
She looked down momentarily and closed her eyes
For a bit longer than a standard blink
Then she was crying
Then she was shouting
Then I was shouting
Now pouring confessions, having no answers, or solutions
We barely even knew the questions

As we were, so perfect, so happy
They'll remember only our smiles
Cause that's all they've seen
Long since dried, when we are found
Are the tears in which we had drowned
As we were, so perfect, so happy

Don't put me underground
I was meant for a life somewhere else
Please, love, give me the wheel
Before both of our hearts
You will steal tonight (will steal tonight)

As we were, so perfect, so happy
They'll remember only our smiles
Cause that's all they've seen
Long since dried, when we are found
Are the tears in which we had drowned
As we were, so perfect, so happy

Our cracking voices became part of the music
The car pressed on faster through the night
As our voices lowered, the cadence again overtook the air
Up ahead there was a curve approaching
She made no indications of slowing

Everytime I hear this song, I have to take a moment to stop and think. With this video, I actually started tearing up, and I haven't cried in months, since a break up that went a little like the one described in this song.

It felt amazing to cry for once. Thank you man. Seriously, thanks.

Up ahead there was a curve approaching

She made no indications of slowing

That really got me to get goose bumps the first time I heard it :o

[Pure0Powah]

It is an awesome part ^_^

I think that cat singlehandedly made one of the most powerfully depressing break up songs into a mildly funny song...

[Iampeterz10]

Maybe use more details next time, but i understand your lazy situation haha :) great job though, it basically showed me what i thought of when the song was playing, thank you for doing this!

Wow. That video is so simple yet so effective. I'm sure you've made a lot of people feel things from paint pictures that nobody else could do.

Amazing song too btw aha.

Am i the only one who noticed that he/she used two different colored eyes for who i assume is supposed to be tim? I thought that was pretty neat :D

[TheKoomen]

The end part is epic

[grimauthority]

i first thought to myself that this is just another literal music video some kid made in like 10 minutes. i was dead wrong, this shit makes u think, and makes u do it deeply.

When I read that this was made in Microsoft paint I thought it would suck. After watching this I have to say it is one of the best music videos I've ever seen. Amazing.
