Lyrics

Who's in a bunker, who's in a bunker?
Women and children first
And the children first
And the children -
I laugh until my head comes off
I swallow till I burst
Until I burst
Until I -

Who's in a bunker, who's in a bunker
I have seen too much
You haven't seen enough
You haven't seen -
Oh I laugh until my head comes off
Women and children first
The children first
The children -

Here I'm allowed everything all of the time
Here I'm allowed everything all of the time

Ice age coming, ice age coming
Let me hear both sides
Let me hear both sides
Let me hear both -

Ice age coming, ice age coming
Throw him on the fire
Throw him on the fire
Throw him on the -

We're not scaremongering
This is really happening, happening
Oh no we're not scaremongering
This is really happening, happening

Mobiles quirking
Mobiles chirping
Take the money and run
Take the money and run
Take the money -

Here I'm allowed everything all of the time
Here I'm allowed everything all of the time
Here I'm allowed everything all of the time...

This is gorgeous. <3

[trelkez]

Wow, the editing on this is incredibly sharp -- I love all of the visual parallels you pull out of the source, and how fluid and connected that makes it feel, all of a piece. Lovely work.

[silverhare]

Omg, that was gorgeous.

[jai]

wow, this is gorgeous, and so perfectly TONY. <3 amazing work.

[revolutionaryjo]

Guh, this is so good. I had to watch it twice through right away. I love how mechanical the beginning is with the engineering and the percussion. And the shots near the end of Tony leaning on Bruce and Steve and Rhodey and Pepper. MY HEART. Just the way you've framed Tony trying to define himself through his persona of Iron Man.

I may have to watch this six or seven more times before I can be entirely coherent about it.

[amanuensis1]

Oh my god, I love this. What a double feature! (Just so you know, I watched them in the opposite order you suggest and IT DIMINISHED MY LOVE FOR BOTH NOT AT ALL.) This is HAUNTING. The fast editing just makes it perfect. My favorite part is Iron Man pushing himself up from the pavement dissolving to Tony in the same position pushing himself up from the floor. Wow, wow, and wow.

[ithildin]

Absolutely stunning.

[fleurrochard]

Oh, Tony.

[kouredios]

Oh, wow. This is really excellent.

[niyalune]

A Tony double feature, what a treat ! I watched them in the suggested order, which gave me emotional whiplash and much flailing at the combined awesomeness.
I've already watched this several times and I love it ! I'm in awe. My favorite part is "allowed everything" with all the holograms... followed by Obie, ouch. The beginning, with Tony working then putting the armor on, and near the end, when he gets up and the others help him... Actually, I love all the parts. Sorry for the incoherency !
Definitely downloading.

[settiai]

Oh, this was gorgeous.

[wolfling]

This was absolutely breathtaking. :D

[inksheddings]

Oh, wow, gorgeous!

[rosewildeirish]

Here on a rec from settiai. Lovely vid; am downloading. Thank you!

[pharis]

That's just beautiful! Love it.

[cadenzamuse]

Wow. Here via settiai, and glad I came. Heartbreaking and I love the fast edits, especially the percussive ones with the repulsor blasts. I love the oxymoron that is Tony Stark that you point out so well here: "genius billionaire playboy philanthropist" who really only feels like himself when he's Iron Man.

[20thcenturyvole]

This is incredible. It took all the chills I feel when I hear this song and all the squishy, protective fear I feel for Tony and recontextualised both, and the result is brilliant.

[kabal42]

First, this is beautiful vid! Second, wow, I think I've only just scratched the surface after three viewings. Oh gosh, Tony… It really does a great job of giving us the layers in him. I can't even… *inadequate comment is inadequate*

[avendya]

I take it that your flat has become The Flat of Vidding? Downloading; shall watch when I am not at work. ♥

[thingswithwings]

Really, really gorgeous editing on this - I especially love the rhythm in the beginning, bam bam bam. Beautiful work.

[ashpags]

Oh this is very well done. Thank you, I quite enjoyed it!

(Also, TONY FEEEEEELS.)

[mermaid]

Wow, this is amazing. It's the first vid I've watched from this year's VividCon, and I may just have been spoiled for all the rest!

[schneefink]

Wow, this is gorgeous. I'll have to watch it again a few more times to discover more of what's in there, but it's beautiful to watch, very well edited.

[scribe]

Oh, this is just breathtaking. Gorgeous, gorgeous editing, and a wonderful music choice. Definitely will be rewatching this one many times.

[owlbeer]

This was so awesome. I loved the song choice. As soon as I saw which song it was set to I said 'oh yes.' It's one of my favourite Radiohead songs and I hadn't heard that cover.

Oh, Tony. <3
