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

Uhm. Wow. This is so. good. I wasn't expecting for this vid to be everything I wanted to say about these characters and their journeys. Seriously. It was just amazing.

First of all, Florence is so well-suited for this epic-heartbreak kind of stories so fabulous choice of song! Secondly, dude, I just. The structure of it is brilliant. I love the clip choice in the beginning, it's so great how you guys use the clips people don't usually use from that scene and cast the Doctor in this weird, even slightly menacing light. And then how you begin and end with Amy is my favourite thing. Rory's section is fabulous too, especially the "tear out all your tenderness" verse where you show all the awful stuff and then end with him not looking at the explosion (he was gonna be cool!)

Then, dude, River! ♥ I love how her section begins slowly and mysteriously, just like how the Melody/River thing was told slowly on the show. The "fabric of your flesh" part is really creepy and awesome and fitting. I also think the two most powerful matching-the-editing-to-the-music moments are in her section (the regeneration shot and especially her death, it was matched so perfectly to what the song does musically in those points (does that make sense? I'm not sure. ;p)) and don't even get me started on the River-and-Amy-through-the-episodes section. Feelings, all of the.

Okay so, I think this is long enough! ;p Basically, what I mean to say is that it was awesome, it had great editing and there's already a friend of mine who wants to watch the show because of it!

(Obviously, I downloaded to keep!)
