Ticcy? Daasgrrl? Zulu? Any other vidders on my list? Please someone take this on:

I can't stop thinking about Call and Answer by Barenaked Ladies and how it'd make an excellent House/Wilson vid, Wilson POV, set now in S4. I can even picture some of the scenes, but I've got no vidding talent at all. It'd be soooo awesome. (Please?)

I think
it's getting to the point where I can be myself again.
I think
it's getting to the point where we have almost made amends.
I think
it's the getting to the point that is the hardest part.

And if you call, I will answer
and if you fall, I'll pick you up
and if you court this disaster
I'll point you home

You think
I only think about you when we're both in the same room.
You think
I'm only here to witness the remains of love exhumed.
You think
we're here to play a game of who loves more than whom.

And if you call, I will answer
and if you fall, I'll pick you up
and if you court this disaster

You think
it's only fair to do what's best for you and you alone.
You think
it's only fair to do the same to me when you're not home.
I think
it's time to make this something that is more than only fair.

So if you call, I will answer
and if you fall, I'll pick you up
and if you court this disaster
I'll point you home.

But I'm warning you, don't ever do
those crazy, messed up things that you do
If you ever do, I promise you
I'll be the first to crucify you.
Now it's time to prove that you've come back here
to rebuild.

I think
it's getting to the point where I can be myself again. [S4 Wilson happy at desk]
I think
it's getting to the point where we have almost made amends. [House smiling from jail cell, mouthing "Believe what you want."]
I think
it's the getting to the point that is the hardest part. [Wilson at bus stop, House drives away]

And if you call, I will answer [House calls from airport]
and if you fall, I'll pick you up [House tries to walk in apartment]
and if you court this disaster [Vogler]
I'll point you home

You think
I only think about you when we're both in the same room. [Scene from Son of a Coma Guy]
You think
I'm only here to witness the remains of love exhumed. [Scene when Wilson looks into Stacy's office; cut with House and Stacy talking.]
You think
we're here to play a game of who loves more than whom.

And if you call, I will answer [phone calls from All In]
and if you fall, I'll pick you up [House falls from sliced cane]
and if you court this disaster [Tritter]

You think
it's only fair to do what's best for you and you alone.
You think
it's only fair to do the same to me when you're not home.
I think
it's time to make this something that is more than only fair.

So if you call, I will answer [CIA phone call]
and if you fall, I'll pick you up [Wilson picking House up at jail]
and if you court this disaster [House with his burned hand]
I'll point you home.

But I'm warning you, don't ever do [MLC - House + puke]
those crazy, messed up things that you do [MLC - House punching Chase]
If you ever do, I promise you [Wilson yelling]
I'll be the first to crucify you. [Finding Judas - Wilson "I'll need 30 pieces of silver" scene]
Now it's time to prove [House apology in rehab]
that you've come back here
to rebuild.[Happy friendship scenes from all four seasons, interspersed.]

BNL's video of the song, not for visual inspiration but in case you haven't heard the tune:

YES YES YES.
I /adore/ that song. And it would be PERFECT. *fangirls all over you*

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

It's just so awesome angsty. *sigh*

[phinnia.livejournal.com]

Angsty but in a pretty hopeful way, not a tragic depressing way. (and that icon is awesome, whee!)

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Hee, I like the icon a lot, even though Wilson is being REALLY annoying in that segment, following House around and lecturing.

[zulu.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a fun idea. But man, that song is long (and slow). I'd want to chop it down to at least half its length, and better more like forty percent.

Um, not that I'm taking this on, at this particular moment in time. I have vidbunnies coming out my ears. Takes quite a Q-tipping, let me tell you.

However, I shall follow its future career with considerable interest.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

See, I said I had no vidding talent! Can't even tell when a song's too long! We'll see if someone takes up the baton...

[zulu.livejournal.com]

People's attention spans are short. A three minute vid is pushing it, and most of the best are in the two-and-a-half minute range. The copy of this song on my 'puter is 5:12.

But I agree that the lyrics really work. Also, hey, looks like cryptictac is interested, and I've seen her do good work with slow songs.

[spoopy.livejournal.com]

Heh, well, I never thought of songs as long... until I started vidding. XD It can take me up to three days to do thirty seconds of footage. =O

[spoopy.livejournal.com]

Oooh... Do you have a copy of this song at all?

[spoopy.livejournal.com]

...which is probably a dumb question, seeing you probably would have uploaded a copy if you had one.

*goes consulting music comms*

[phinnia.livejournal.com]

I have one if you can't find one through your nefarious means. <3

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I do have it on CD! I could see about my husband ripping it for me -- what format would be good?

[spoopy.livejournal.com]

No probs, Zulu supplied me with a copy!

[zulu.livejournal.com]

Here's (http://www.sendspace.com/file/v5rcze) the mp3.

[spoopy.livejournal.com]

Oh, thanks!

And holy shit, that's a long song. O_____O

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Hey, Ticcy. hithah says she might be interested in trying the vid if you think it's too long. Don't want to step on your toes if you're going to be doing it, though. Let me know!

[spoopy.livejournal.com]

No, actually, I am interested in doing it. It is a long song but that makes it a challenge! I like challenges. So, once I've actually done something about this big bang thing that's coming up, I think I shall make a start on this video.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

[pinglederry.livejournal.com]

Ooh. *interested from a non-vidder standpoint* Your scene suggestions are much love. :)

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

It's a great song, it so much is. Wish I could vid!

[pinglederry.livejournal.com]

Hey, whatabout...

You think
it's only fair to do what's best for you and you alone. [Clips of House taking pills]
You think
it's only fair to do the same to me when you're not home. [Scene with House putting the amphetamines in Wilson's coffee]

Or something?

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Ooh, excellent. Hadn't thought of that!

[daisylily.livejournal.com]

Those lyrics sound ideal, and I love your ideas for the scenes to use - I'm really pleased to see that Ticcy's interested.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Aren't they great lyrics? I've always thought they were House/Wilson-y, but especially where they are right now in S4.

Zulu's right that it's a veyr long song -- wonder if Ticcy could just make it speed up? There's one instrumental section that could probably go and make some time, but the rest...

[spoopy.livejournal.com]

So... four months later, I fulfill the request (http://cryptictac.livejournal.com/287865.html).

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Commented on your post, but I also wanted to say you did a great job cutting the song down. Top-notch.
