"Sarah Connor Chronicles // Change of Time // such heights" (Watch on YouTube)

lyrics:

I had a dream last night
I dreamt that I was swimming
And the stars up above
Directionless and drifting
Somewhere in the dark
Were the sirens and the thunder
And around me as I swam
The drifters who’d gone under

Time, love
Time, love
Time, love
It’s only a change of time

I had a dream last night
And rusting far below me
Battered hulls and broken hardships
Leviathan and lonely
I was thirsty so I drank
And though it was salt water
There was something ‘bout the way
It tasted so familiar

Time, love
Time, love
Time, love
It’s only a change of time

The black clouds I’m hanging
This anchor I’m dragging
The sails of memory rip open in silence
We cut through the lowlands
All hands through the saltlands
The white caps of memory
Confusing and violent

Time, love
Time, love
Time, love
It’s only a change of time

Oh, beautiful. You capture the slow, expressiveness of the show's storytelling. ♥

Ooh, glad to get a higher quality download. I really loved this vid and have been watching it a bunch. (Also, for future reference, I was having trouble with the streaming from sendvid, so I downloaded the file... and unfortunately the downloaded file had your name in the metadata, so VLC displayed it when the vid started playing, ruining your anonymity.)

ugggggggggggggggh Sarah's FACE it gives me all the feelings really. This is beautiful, melancholy and contemplative, just like Sarah's silent silent EXCELLENT face. This is many of my Sarah Connor/time feelings, you just feel her getting so tired and sad and done. This makes me remember that she never saw her mission as stopping Skynet, only as preparing John, that it was John and Cameron, and eventually Derek and Jesse, who wanted to stop it. It all feels so inevitable, so inexorably leading to certain moments, even as they jump around in time and meet different versions of each other. Ugh she's so tired here and I loooove her.

The last two images of Kyle stepping forward to John and Sarah stepping back away, MY HEART.
