*Video: Erik&Christine // Quasimodo&Esmeralda [[ S H E Is The S U N L I G H T ~ *Song: She Is The Sunlight *Artist: Trading Yesterday *Clips: Phantom of the Opera; Notre Dame de Paris (musical, French); Notre Dame de Paris (musical, Italian) *Story: She was his angel. His rock, his song, his sunlight. He wanted nothing more then to spend an eternity by her side. He tried his best to make her happy; to make her love him. But she saw someone else. Someone more beautiful, more perfect then he. He could only watch in dismay as she turned a blind eye to his own invisible beauty. He could only watch as his precious flower was ripped from his hands. Gone forever. Left to linger in his loneliness. A lifetime without her was enough to die for. "She was his sunlight. The sun is gone." *Notes: This might get a bit confusing for those who don't know the Notre Dame de Paris musical very well, but I'll try best to explain. For the role of Quasimodo, I chose to use clips of Garou, who was the original Quasimodo in the French musical. For the role of Esmeralda, I chose to use clips of Lola Ponce, who was the original Esmeralda in the Italian musical. They're both characters from the same story and the same musical - just different actors from different casts playing them. A crossover within the same story, basically xD I have nothing against Helene Segara (the original French Esmeralda) or her fans - I decided to use clips of Lola for experiemental reasons, and because I think her acting style pops a bit more in music videos. Because I'm assuming this video will draw more Phantom fans then Notre Dame de Paris ones, here's the NDdP story in a nutshell: Quasimodo (deformed bell-ringer) falls in love with the beautiful gypsy girl, Esmeralda, but she is in love with the captian of the guard Phoebus, and never reconizes Quasimodo's love for her. In the end, Esmeralda is hung on charges of murder and witchcraft (both of which she is innocent of), and Quasimodo, grief-striken, holds her dead body until he himself dies. The story is actually much cooler then I explain it xD I recommend you go look up the musical on YouTube; there's a full version up with English subtitles. Yay ~ My first full length video I've done in a while, my first Phantom vid I've done in a while, and my first time using Notre Dame de Paris clips! I decided to mash Phantom and NDdP because of the parallel plotline they seem to share: A deformed man loves a beautiful woman, but she's in love with someone else, and in the end, the love-striken deformed man is left without her. Obviously these two stories are very different in many different ways, but I thought this song displayed the similarities of the love triangles in the two stories very well. As usual, please rate, comment, and enjoy! And happy new year as well! =D
