Lyrics
1 bedroom / 1 bath, hardwood floors with view of trees
1 bedroom / 1 bath, parking space for extra fee

My little flock of boxes and I
Surrounded by a painted-white unknown
Soon as this wall in my heart comes down
I'm gonna make it feel like home

1 bedroom / 1 bath, A/C was fine till yesterday
1 bedroom / 1 bath, 89 degrees today

My upstairs neighbours are making sounds
That I never want to hear
I hope they're just moving furniture around
And really liking their ideas

Oh, this is gorgeous and so quietly heartbreaking.

I love the match of the newspaper headline and the gravestone to "surrounded by a painted white unknown".
Brilliant editing when the music picks up 1:38-2:17. The musicality and movement and the chaos of their lives together brings such a sharp and poignant contrast to the stillness and emptiness in the house and the rest of the vid. Also, love the tray slamming down ending the clip of Sherlock's fall at 2:29-2:30. Oh, John. Throwing tea at the nightmares.

I've always considered this a hard song to vid, but my goodness this is lovely.

Oh, wow, thank you so much. That's such a thoughtful comment. I'm so glad you felt the chaos/stillness contrast came across, because that was what I was aiming for. John comes alive in his sleep, his life becomes more vivid. Then he wakes up, and throws tea at the nightmares (that's an AWESOME way of putting it) and things are still again.

I don't think this was too tough a song to vid. But then I'm hoping to one day live in a world where there exists a fanvid for a show I love to every Vienna Teng song ever, so I guess I have to help work towards that!
