Final Firefly vid: Out of Gas
Tuesday, May 9, 2006 10:48 AM
Just finished and uploaded my last Firefly music video for a while, and this one's special in that it was inspired by <b>you people</b>. Back when I came onto this board in late October after discovering the show, I was in bad shape. I just couldn't believe there were no more episodes - and there wouldn't be any more. But all of you kept me sane and, more than that, showed me I wasn't alone in feeling that way.Here's my tribute to you.

The goal of the vid was to show what it feels like to be a Firefly fan; to fall in love with this glorious ghost of a show that's long since dead but is never too far away. It's a unique cycle of emotions when you become a fan... the joy, the pain, the anger and frustration at its death, the flickers of hope. But ultimately what defines the Firefly fandom - for me at least - is the unity of the fans, and how we all draw strength from the fact that we <i>all</i> feel or have felt this way about the show. It brings us together, keeps us celebrating what was and what might be again.
<b>That's</b> why Firefly will never really go away, and that's the feeling I was trying to capture in this video. We're all a little bit Mal here.
Lyrics:
<b>Disappearing One</b> - <i>Chris Cornell, Euphoria Morning</i>
What have you done my little spark
Cursing my name cause again I put you out
Falling apart, you tell yourself you are
Dreaming only of the ones who never dream of you
I'm your disappearing one
I vanish when the curtain's drawn
But I will come again and you will let me in
And you'll see I never disappear for long
Into your room I stumble now
Too tired to cower and it's too late to draw you out
And there you lie like a painting of Christ
Bleeding on the hands of the ones who nailed you down
