Bittersweet - (Heathcliff ♥ Cathy) - Wuthering Heights - 2009

PLEASE READ: (lyrics & words spoken below)- contest - emotion: sorrow/ regret/ hopelessness - A "bittersweet" vid about a tragic love and the regrets that come with bad choices - dedicated to all who have loved and lost...1st part is in Cathy's POV- the present.... When Heathcliff speaks, the song goes into his POV- showing both a forward to Cathy's death, with backflashes of the past (in ghostly blue) that he remembers, leading again to the present. Also, the part "the sweetest thought- had it all"- that is meant to be taken sarcastically, like Heathcliff often was in his behavior- vid shows how he really feels about all of what he "gained" in his revenge, by losing his one true love...(in life)...until their reunion (in death).
clips from Wuthering Heights- 2009 movie, and one clip from 1992 movie- all courtesy of fmg0279 & moraven12 :) Heathcliff- Tom Hardy; Cathy- Charlotte Riley

*audio clips -spoken words (sorry about the glitch at the beginning when Cathy speaks - not sure what happened...) :

*Cathy in intro... "My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath...my great miseries in this world have been Heathcliff's miseries...if all else perished and he remained, I should still continue to be..."

*Cathy & her maid: "Heathcliff's betrayed me - he's put a knife through my heart!"

*Cathy walking in her nightgown in rain- "Heathcliff!"

*Heathcliff as he's holding her, "I could as soon as forget you as my own existence...."

*Hindley to Heathcliff: "From now on you will keep company only with the servants; you will earn your keep by laboring in the fields..."

*Cathy as ghost at the window- "Let me in... let me in... LET ME IN!"
*Heathcliff desperately grabbing her arm... "Cathy...Cathy... CATHY!"

*Heathcliff to Cathy inside her coffin: "Oh, my love..."

Bittersweet -
Within Temptation

If I tell you
Will you listen?
Will you stay?
Will you be here forever?
Never go away?
Never thought things would change, hold me tight
Please don't say again that you have to go

A bitter thought -
I had it all
But I just let it go
Hold your silence
It's so violent since you're gone

All my thoughts are with you forever
Till the day we'll be back together
I will be waiting for you

If I had told you
You would've listened
You had stayed
You would be here forever
Never went away

It would never have been all the same
All our time would have been in vain
Cause you had to go

The sweetest thought -
had it all
Cause I did let you go
All our moments keep me warm
When you're gone

All my thoughts are with you forever
Till the day we'll be back together
I will be waiting for you

What is the intro song from? I know I've heard it, but I can't place it. It's driving me CRAZY.

[honeyphan2]

@extremeXjapanophile - it's by E.S Posthumus and it's called Nara (used in both Cold Case theme and The Tudors. :))

I like this vid alot...but i cant help wondering if it would have been better had you not used voice overs, somehow it just makes it seem unprofessional and a little taccy - but yeah great song choice and visuals :)

[honeyphan2]

@kinkyinhelsinki2 - Thank you! And yeah, you're probably right. I've come to learn that voice-overs really work best when there's no singing, only music and during instrumental solos. Though at the beginning it didn't sound that good either, and I'm wondering if it's because I used another person's clips. I'm thinking about ripping my own movie & putting it here - it would be better quality, anyway. :) Thanks also for being kind & constructive with your criticism. I don't mind that at all...

[honeyphan2]

@eugenie1967 - Thank you!! :) And me too...

LOVEEE Tom as Heathcliff!!!!

[UKcrispergirl]

I love Wuthering Heights! I'm reading it for the 5th time right now. I just wish High schools still had seniors reading it. I'm a Sophomore and none of my friends have read it and refuse to try to :( They don't know what they're missing. And yeah, Tom Hardy is the best Heathcliff so far :)

[extremeXjapanophile]

@honeyphan2: YES! Cold Case! That's where I've heard it! Thank you! :D

[honeyphan2]

Thank you!! :)
