Lois & Clark Forums Forums General Discussion FoLC Productions Got a Video Request/Challenge? Post them here!

BJ, your post reminded me that it seemed like I had seen an L&C Ordinary Day video awhile back, and sure enough, there is one on YouTube already: Ordinary Day . It's a very sweet video.

Thanks, Nora! You were right - that's very sweet. It had some very character-rich clips of both Lois and Clark in it. Very nice.

BJ

Can someone please make a video to this song: Meradith Brooks-...I\'m a lover

I know it may seem wrong but I can see this being a good first/second season song for Lois and Clark.

Jenna, your link doesn't work for me for some reason, but I assume the song you are referring to is "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks ("I'm a bitch, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a mother")? If so, a few years ago, I saw one of the best L&C videos I've ever seen set to this song. I don't remember if it was posted to FOLC video or if it was on YouTube, but I don't have a link to it anymore. It specifically stands out in my mind because the L&C scene from "Resurrection," where Lois is in her leather outfit, was set to the "I'm your angel undercover" lyrics, and I thought that was pretty brilliant. I'd love to see that one again. I do vid and post to this site and like to fulfill requests, but I know that if I ever tried to vid this one, I would be subconsciously copying that video.

I just did a YouTube search, and there is another excellent L&C video set to this song . You may want to check it out.

Thank you, Nora!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a request for a video! I have no idea how to do them, so I'll leave it in someone else's capable hands.
I hope it's okay to repost the lyrics here as well, as I sort of see this song as a L&C duet:

Dana Glover's It is you (I have loved) from Shrek:

Lois:
There is something that I see
In the way you look at me
There's a smile, there's a truth in your eyes
Clark:
But an unexpected way
On this unexpected day
Could it mean this is where I belong
It is you I have loved all along

Lois:
It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart searched for so long
Clark:
And it is you I have loved all along

Clark:
There were times I ran to hide
Afraid to show the other side
Alone in the night without you
Lois:
But now I know just who you are
And I know you hold my heart
Clark:
Finally this is where I belong
Lois:
It is you I have loved all along

Lois:
It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
Clark:
You're the home my heart searched for so long
Lois:
And it is you I have loved all along

Lois:
Over and over I'm filled with emotion
Clark:
Your love it rushes through my veins
together(?):
And I am filled with the sweetest devotion
As I, I look into your perfect face

Clark:
It's no more mystery
Lois:
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart searched for so long
Clark:
And it is you I have loved
Lois:
It is you I have loved
Together:
It is you I have loved all along

Or something like that, but you get the general idea. Another song that I think would make a great L&C vid (esp pre-reveal, seasons 1 &2) is Billy Joel's 'I go to extremes'

Anyway, here's the site I got the lyrics for Glover's song from.

I was all set to take up the challenge, mozartmaid, but it appears that you cannot buy this song on iTunes OR Amazon in the U.S.! I hate when that happens. (There are two other songs that I am itching to vid but not itching to shell out the $14 or so for the hard copy CD they come on.)

But you may be in luck, because someone already set an L&C video to it - It is You I Have Loved . Hopefully, it is not blocked in Germany on YouTube. (Almost all of my vids say that they are blocked there.)

Wah! And of course, the vid is blocked! But thanks for trying anyway!

Hello Everyone, I was just passing by and I see Mozardmaid you couldn't watch the video on Youtube, so I download it and upload it on megaupload, this is the link where you can download it or watch it on megavideo : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N8LNTCB4

I appreciate you putting it on megaupload... the site says it's temporarily unavailable... Maybe if you just posted it there's a wait time before it's accessible? Anyway, I'll keep trying! And thanks!!

you're welcome.
Try again, I will be disappointed if you don't succeed to download it.

Oh please oh please someone do "This IS Who You Are" from Beethovan's Last Night by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Not only is TSO awesome, but I think the lyrics in this one work well for Clark:

SOMETIMES
SLOWLY
TIME BRINGS REVELATION

WAITING
SOFTLY
FOR SOMEONE TO BELIEVE

THAT THE GHOSTS WE'VE HIDDEN OR LEFT TO DIE
HAVE NOW ARISEN AND WILL ARRIVE
TO SAY WHAT HAS HAPPENED
SAY WHAT HAS HAPPENED
SAY WHAT HAS HAPPENED
TO ME

AND WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
THAT YOU'D BE THE ONE
THAT I WOULD HAVE FOUND HERE WAITING

LOST IN THIS NIGHT
UNTIL YOU ARRIVED
AND ALWAYS TOO BLIND TO SEE

AND WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
THAT AFTER THIS TIME
THAT I'D BE THE ONE YOU'RE SAVING

NOW UNDISGUISED
THE GHOSTS THAT SURVIVE
NOW SAY WHAT WAS MEANT TO BE

I NEVER WANTED TO GIVE MY LIFE AWAY
WHO EVER THOUGHT IT WOULD MATTER ANY WAY

WANDERING INSIDE THIS NIGHT
FINDING PIECES OF A LIFE
NEVER SURE I'D EVER KNOW WHAT IT MEANS

IT'S THE STRANGERS IN YOUR LIFE
THAT YOU'D NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D MEET
IT'S THE HAND THAT PICKED YOU UP
WHEN YOU'RE LAYING IN THE STREET

IT'S THE HAND THAT CUT YOU DOWN
IT'S THE DREAM THAT SOMEONE SHARED
WHEN YOU THOUGHT THAT ALL WAS LOST
IT'S THE FRIEND THAT WASN'T THERE

YOU CAN RUN FROM ALL THE MEMORY
BUT NEVER GET THAT FAR
FOR IN THE END THEY'LL FIND YOU
FOR THIS IS WHO YOU ARE

CHANGE ONE NOTE
CHANGE ONE LINE
NOTHING'S GOING TO BE THE SAME
CHANGE ONE LOSS
CHANGE ONE CUT
EVERYTHING IS RE-ARRANGED

EVERY ACT
CRUEL OR KIND
LOST INSIDE OUR MEMORY
IF YOU LOOK
THERE IN TIME

YOU'LL FIND IT IN
FIND IT IN
FIND IT IN
YOU'LL FIND IT IN ME

Excellent Youtube sound quality so you can listen to it.

Annalina, merci beaucoup!! The video worked!! I LOVE it!

Bitteschön, I could do it so I did, see ya.

I just heard this song. It's beautiful and I'm not usually a Josh Groban fan:

When You Say You Love Me

There's even a line which is: "There are times I swear I feel like I can fly".

Anyone looking for a challenge? Just fell in love with a song that reminds me very strongly of Lois & Clark (and even a bit of Lex), in particular at the end of Season 1. I think it'd be fun to do a vid with this one, but don't really have the skill for it.

OneRepublic's Counting Stars
Song on YouTube

Lyrics

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars, yeah we'll be counting stars

I see this life like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and you shall find
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, coudn't I, could lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

I feel the love and I feel it burn
Down this river, every turn
Hope is a four-letter word
Make that money, watch it burn
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
(x4)

Everything that kills me makes feel alive

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be, counting stars

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
(x4)

The duet All I Ask From You from "Phantom of the Opera" (This clip is from the movie version, but there are many versions.)

I've highlighted some promising LnC sections.


All I Ask From You:

[Both] denotes Christine and Raoul.

(Raoul)
No more talk of darkness
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you

Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears
I'm here, with you, beside you
To guard you and to guide you

(Christine)
Say you'll love me every waking moment
Turn my head with talk of summer time
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you

[Raoul]
Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light
You're safe, no one can find you
Your fears are far behind you

[Christine]
All I want is freedom
A world with no more night
And you, always beside me
To hold me and to hide me

[Raoul]
Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you here, beside you
Anywhere you go, let me go too
Christine, that's all I ask of you

[Christine]
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you

[Both]
Share each day with me, each night, each morning

[Christine]
Say you love me

[Raoul]
You know I do

[Both]
Love me, that's all I ask of you.

[Both]
Anywhere you go, let me go too
Love me, that's all I ask of you

'All I ask of you' is a lovely duet, but the problem is they don't end up together in the end... Christine ends up with the Phantom... which, when translated to the LnC universe is like Lois ending up with Lex, I think.

Really? I thought Christine ends up with Raoul at the end of the story. Or did you mean at the end of this song? Because, I'm sure the vidders can cut the Phantom's emergence from the shadows at the end of this scene and his reprise of the song from the end, can't they?

Ah, OK, going back and checking the plot, she does end up with Raoul... I suppose you can make it work, but -- I don't know. She pities the Phantom, giving more sympathy towards Lex when you put it in the LnC-verse. At least in the musical, you feel like the Phantom has control over Christine, and I don't really like that when looking at the Lois/Lex relationship. But perhaps I'm reading too deeply. It is a lovely song that I've sung MANY times.
