Beyond the Roundels

I made a vid! Or to be more accurate, I finally finished the very last bit of a vid that's been sitting neglected on my pc since July or something. It's Survivors, and I originally started it for hc_bingo square "apocalypse" (my wild card square).


Survivors (1975) - Let Me Inside
Abby, Jen & Greg, still here after the apocalypse.

2.56 mins. Music: Acts of Man by Midlake. I own nothing, as ever. Fanvid for Survivors S1 (BBC 1975). Warnings: end of the world gloom; some use of guns. Very few spoilers, as most of it is taken from eps 1-3. (Well, unless you didn't know that Survivors is a thing in which most of the world dies of a virus in the first episode. And then Abby, Jen and Greg go on what looks like a particularly nightmare version of some of my childhood camping holidays.)

Lyrics:
If all that grows starts to fade, starts to falter
Oh, let me inside, let me inside, not to wait
Let all that run through the fields through the quiet,
Go on with their own, with their own hidden ways

When all newness of gold travels far from
Where it had once been,
Born like the earth over years
And when the acts of man
Cause the ground to break open
Oh, let me inside, let me inside, not to wait

Great are the sounds of all that live
And all that man can hold

If all that grows starts to fade, starts to falter
Oh, let me inside, let me inside, not to wait
Great are the sounds of all that live
And all that man can hold

Great are the sounds of all that live

(I actually found the song on song facts, where I looked up songs about the end of the world, and found this one, which was perfect.)
