Agent Carter vid: One More Day

[sholio]

So ... remember that vid I mentioned I was making? I guess I went ahead and made it. :D

It's from TV-rip MP4s, so the picture quality is not that great, but this isn't really a grand artistic masterpiece kind of vid; this is more like "I want to take a million clips of their faces and wallow".

Title: One More Day
Fandom: MCU: Agent Carter
Song/artist: "Krafty" by New Order
Spoilers: All episodes (1x01-1x08)
Summary: The Peggy/team/ensemble vid of my heart.

"Agent Carter - One More Day" (Watch on YouTube)

Lyrics:

Some people get up at the break of day
Gotta go to work before it gets too late
Sitting in a car and driving down the road
It ain't the way it has to be

But that's what you do to earn your daily wage
That's the kind of world that we live in today
But is it where you wanna be
And is it what you wanna do

Just give me one more day (one more day)
Give me another night (just another night)
I need a second chance (second chance)
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)

I'll say it one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
I've got to change your mind (I've got to change your mind)
I'll never let you go

You've got to look at life the way it oughta be
Looking at the stars from underneath the tree
There's a world inside and a world out there
With that on TV you just don't care

They've got violence, wars and killing too
All shrunk down in a two-foot tube
But out there the world is a beautiful place
With mountains, lakes and the human race
And this is where I wanna be
And this is what I wanna do

Just give me one more day (one more day)
Give me another night (just another night)
I need a second chance (second chance)
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)

I'll say it one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
I've got to change your mind (change your mind)
I'll never let you go

Just give me one more chance (one more chance)
Give me another night (just another night)
With just one more day (one more day)
Maybe we'll get it right (You know I'll get it right)

I'll say it one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
If I could change your mind (change your mind)
I'll never let you go

Oh that is just fantastic! What a lovely song choice too (it takes me back), and it gives you a perfect backdrop to tell Peggy's story as it goes along with the various players in the story. I loved the clips you chose for the I need a second chance lines, especially oh, that shot with Steve's blood. Waaahhh.

All this time I never knew you vidded! Yay!

Thank you so much! This especially means a lot coming from you, because your vids are so well done. ♥ Yeah, I had already had some idea of making a vid to this song for this show (enough that I'd gone ahead and imported that and a few clips into Final Cut) but then the finale aired and I went OH GOD PERFECT SONG OR PERFECT SONG?! The way the lyrics and pacing breaks down, it's too great for telling the story of Peggy slowly moving past Steve's death, meeting other people and learning to have a good life with the people she's still got.

... and yes, I do! :D I've mostly stopped the last few years, though -- I think the last time I made a vid was about 3 years ago. I thought for awhile that I'd just lost the bug, because I still vid pretty extensively in my head, and I always had new vid ideas for new shows I'd watch, but whenever I'd start making one, I'd stall out and lose interest. It felt so good to discover that I actually CAN still make them! And I desperately want to make more vids for this show, except hilariously, where I usually have way too many ideas (there are probably 30 songs in my "songs to vid for MCU" playlist) I haven't found a single other song that screams "Peggy Carter!" at me the way this one did. But I intend to keep looking, because I could happily wallow in this show all day.
