Howl from such heights on Vimeo.

If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart
Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart

My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl
My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to

Howl, howl
Howl, howl

Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack
My blood is singing with your voice, I want to pour it out
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallowed ground

Like some child possessed, the beast howls in my veins
I want to find you, tear out all of your tenderness

And howl, howl
Howl, howl

Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters

Hunters, hunters, hunters
Hunters, hunters, hunters

The fabric of your flesh, pure as a wedding dress
Until I wrap myself inside your arms I cannot rest
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallowed ground

And howl

Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters

A man who's pure of heart and says his prayers by night
May still become a wolf when the autumn moon is bright

If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallowed ground

Holy crap that was epic. And it made me want to rewatch all of s5/6 so I could see what the River-Amy-Rory interactions were all like. Beautiful work.

Thank you so much! :D

Oh. Oh wow. I think I need to watch this at least five more times to really see everything you guys have done here, but this is amazing, these people the Doctor chooses, and makes, and what they make of themselves, and how incredible all three of them are. This is completely fantastic.

Thank you for the awesome comment! We both felt really struck by how much they've changed since the beginning, it's kind of amazing.

Aaah. I think you broke my heart a little, but that's okay, because it's wonderful. <3

My apologies, but thank you! I'm glad it worked for you.

Wow. I love that song and I love those characters, but I can't imagine it working together. Having said that, next time I'm online at home, I'm going to watch this (and I'll probably love it). I can't imagine how it could work, but nonetheless I'm excited about getting to find out!

Seems like a lot of people have been feeling that disconnect! I hope you enjoy if you do get a chance to watch it.

AHHHH this is stunning, absolutely positively stunning and it gave me goosebumps at the start of each character's section, WOW. Just. WOW. Amazing editing, perfect song choice. THE EMOTION, oh god the PONDS. Wow.

Thank you so much! We both had a lot of feelings whilst vidding this. :D

EPICNESS!!!! That was FANTASTIC!

Thank you so much! I'm delighted it worked for you.

Awesome. Also makes me want to do a complete re-watch of S5. :D

Ha, our work here is done! Thanks very much.

PONDS.

...nope, that's all. Just PONDS. And also, YOU.

NO YOU. <3333

WOW, just... wow. <3

\o/ Thank you!

Glad to hear it holds up upon rewatching, thanks very much!

::flails::

that was fantastic.

Thanks so much!

Gorgeous, lovely, epic, amazing.

Thank you! I'm delighted it worked for you. :D

God, that was gorgeous. Absolutely fantastic.

Thank you so much!

Oh guys, this was absolutely stunning. You really captured the darkness of S6, and what it can mean to be the Doctor's friend - and how it's changed the Ponds' lives. AMAZING.

Thank you so much! We are delighted you liked it.

That was incredible. Absolutely incredible.

Thanks so much!

Excellent, now I can stop waiting for someone to make a vid about this tangly, brutal, screwed-up, empowering mess of a love story/family vacation/coming-of-age-tale.

I enjoy the way the Doctor disappears after the first section and doesn't come back until the end. It's a good choice; he sets things in motion, but the vid keeps the focus much more firmly on the Ponds and what they do in those circumstances, not what the Doctor makes them do? I don't know if that's a distinction that makes much sense to anyone but me, but um, there it is. ;)

Glad to be of service, thank you!

And yes, absolutely, that was really important to us - the Doctor is a catalyst, but ultimately it's their relationships to each other that drive them as much as their relationships to him.

PONDS OMG! Just... stunning and brilliant all round. Somehow especially stuck by Rory. I mean, most Companions change greatly because of their travels, but Rory assumes a whole different persona, as it were... (I am useless at anything to do with graphics, but these two images seem almost impossibly far from each other.)

Must re-watch lots before I can say anything more coherent, although I love the way this is structured, and the emergence of River. Just... so good. So, so good.

Thank you so much! And yes, Rory's transformation is definitely the most obviously shocking - he's come so far, and not necessarily for the good.

I can't help but agree that this is EPIC. So fantastic in the way you wove it all together and highlighted all the love stories.

Y'all have skills. ;)

also now I can keep this on my harddrive as my DW personally shippy canon refresher.

Oh wow, this gave me shivers. Just fantastic.

Awesome, thanks so much!

Ohh, quite lovely my dear. I never thought of 'Howl' as a Doctor Who song but loved the vid, loved the bad ass Ponds all over the place. Really worked!

Glad to hear it, thanks a lot!

This was beautiful! Lovely song choice, too.

Thank you, I'm glad the music worked for you!

Oh this was lovely. That part when Rory first comes on screen! Wow! And the intercutting of Rory in A Good Man with Amy in Amy's choice -- perfect. And then River! And then the three of them! I like how the Doctor sort of disappears off screen until the end, leaving the focus on the effect he has on them... I'll have to watch this many times to catch all the nuances, I'm sure!

Thanks so much! I'm really glad those aspects worked for you - that Rory section is one of our favourites.

Wow, that was epic! I would never have picked this song for these characters (especially Amy and Rory), but you make it work really well. The pacing is perfect. Rory's section especially struck me, reframing his character journey as maybe not a empowering growth in badass-hood but something darker, making him the sort of guy who doesn't even look while spaceships full of sentient beings* are blown out of the sky.

*Cybermen, but that doesn't erase the point

Thanks so much! Absolutely, Rory's arc is really scary and sort of awful when you think about it. :(

I was sort of curiously confused by the idea of that song matched with Pondness, but holy crap did it work REALLY WELL. Loved it!

Glad we exceeded your expectations, thanks very much!

:flails: This is for one thing one of my favourite songs from Florence and then there is Rory :hugs: and RIVER :HUGS MORE: Love, love, love it. Great editing, great song choice, great fandom choice ;-)

Thank you so much! I'm glad it worked for you.
