This is a video I've had in my head for the last 6 or so weeks. I'd been trying to "think" of what to share with others here about me being overseas. When I heard this song, it summed up so much of my overseas "life."
I know the song is about lifting up a friend, but to me it says more. It's about living life (as a friend) with someone, and laying yourself, your values and your...whatever out for them to see. And there are times when they struggle, they fight, and they reject all of that and all you can do is lift them up.
All the people in the video are people I've known in the last two years. They've been in my heart one way or another- mostly as good friends. Some are people I knew more from a distance- a parent of a friend, a vendor that I'd visit regularly, classmates.
So this video was a picture I had in my head and the other day I finally put it together. I think it was a good outlet for me. Let me know what you think! Oh, just a warning, there are a lot of words at the beginning (too much according to my brothers)... but I really liked the verse, so I didn't want to shorten it...although I did have to lengthen the instrumental part at the beginning, so it's a little weird. :s
