"You Were There"

[Rachel]

I created this video for "You Were There". I custom made the thumbnail for the video, hoping for it to draw people's attention to click on it! I added a small video effect that makes anything reflecting light glow a little bit (I thought it looked kind of like a "dreamy" effect), you might notice it at times. I uploaded it in 1080p so now you can watch it in true high definition! I also typed out the lyrics the best that I could so that everyone can sing along.

I hope you all enjoy
(MAKE SURE YOU WATCH IT IN 1080P! It looks way better )


"You Were There" Lyrics

Sitting in a room with familiar people
Don't know where we're going, just don't ask me though
Stare into a glass full of hopeful faces
Send us to extraordinary places
I'm floating, over green, could this all be a dream,
or am I just waking up?
Signs of life,
suspending in time as I drift along,
overwhelmed by the feeling of love
And I feel the breeze, and I turn around

And you were there
You were there
You were there (oooo)
You were there (oooo)

I was coming down, spinning 'round on my head
I landed straight on my feet, happy that I wasn't dead
Yes I saw some squids, I told them to listen
Cause this is the sound that they had been missing all their lives
With their little squid wives
And I was floating on a cloud made of grass
Spilling my soul, to a big field of dogs
And I saw you, surrounded by family
Yes the sun and the moon they were smiling down
And I saw you, spinning 'round

And you were there
You were there
You were there (oooo)
You were there (oooo)
You were there
You were there
You were there
(Repeat until end)

Classic Casey.

Nice job, IMO its worthwhile to take a little time to encase videos with a little editing to add a little shine to it

Maybe:

"Don't know where we're going, don't ask me...no(ooooo)"

..."suspendinged in time as I drift along"

I typed the lyrics into the Room 5 thread but I think this one is more accurate.

Carlos also posted an interpretation on Twitter. I appreciate all of them as it becomes harder to interpret things as you age and your hearing becomes less acute.

Maybe:

"Don't know where we're going, don't ask me...no(ooooo)"

..."suspendinged in time as I drift along"

Yeah you might be right!
It was also hard for me to decide if she was saying "green" or "grief", also "overwhelmed" or "overwound"
