This is the first FMA video I ever had an idea for. I was waiting until I could actually do it justice. The idea behind it is Winry and Eds' remembrances after they've been seperated for the last and *cry* final time. (Write good fanfiction, people!) It's a bit sentimental, but their relationship was far from perfect, so of course I include some flashbacks of their funny (wrench-filled) moments, too.
The song is "Think of Me", from the 2004 sound track of Phantom of the Opera. I used this version and cut out a lot of the speaking parts, because I wanted to focus on just Christine and Raoul/ Winry and Ed.
The title of the video refers not only to the things they'll never do *cough, fanart!*, but leads you to the line, "There will never be a day when I won't think of you." I thought of titling it "Silent and Resigned", but Winrys' character is stronger than that would imply. If you are a complete POTO phanatic, (and everyone should be, because Phantom rules beyond words), then you will notice the cutting I did to the song. If not, here are the lyrics I use:
"Think of me,
Think of me fondly
When we've said goodbye
Remember me once in awhile.
Please promise me you'll try.
When you'll find that once again you long to take your heart back and be free
If you ever find a moment
Spare a thought for me!
We never said our love was evergreen
Or as unchanging as the sea
But if you can still remember stop and think of me!
Think of all the things we've shared and seen
Don't think about the way things might have been
Think of me
Think of me waking silent and resigned.
Imagine me trying too hard to put you from my mind.
Recall those days
Look back on all those times.
Think of the things we'll never do.
There will never be a day when I won't think of you
Can it be?
(Can it be)
Long ago,
It seems so long ago
How young and innocent we were
She may not remember me,
But I remember her...
Flowers fade
The fruits of summer fade
They have their season
So do we.
But please promise me that sometimes
You will think of... me!"
Sigh. It was, could have, and should have been a beautiful love. Anime endings suck... still waiting to see what happens in the manga. True love happens in the real world all the time, though, so don't be too sad. My parents have been together forever, and are still romantic and dote on each other. Viva la Romance! But still write good fanfiction. Enjoy the AMV!
