God Decides by Hawksley Workman

Grace, trust, and mercy, God decides
Bursts of truth and aching, God decides
Life, death and between, God decides
The earth, moon and sea, God decides

How you’ve come to me, God decides
The painter of your truth, God decides
Faker of a proof, God decides
How low a man will stoop, God decides

Small wild birds
Are eating from your hands
The small wild birds
Are eating from your hands

The tragic need for freedom, God decides
How best to pray and meet him, God decides
Your lost, found and beaten, God decides
Who starves and who has eaten, God decides

War will be forever, God decides
The act will be dissolved, God decides
The ifs and buts and be’s, God decides
The parts no one should see, God decides

Small wild birds
Are eating from your hands
The small wild birds
Are eating from your hands

The bombs, the sex, the bleeding, God decides
The fidelity and midnight cheating all aside
The sincerity of airport kissing, God decides
The shitting, fucking, pissing, God decides

Porno killing Venus, God decides
When the spirit finally leaves us, God decides
The taking off and crashing, God decides
The teeth of eternal gnashing, God decides.

The small wild birds
Are eating from your hands
The small wild birds
Are eating from your hands

The small wild birds
Are eating from your hands
The small wild birds
Are eating from your hands

MOG! NEW VID! I am watching this as soon as I get home, even before I start on my Big Bang.

[sacrilicious.livejournal.com]

I cannot wait to hear your opinion on this one! I am ridiculously proud of this vid. I think I love it more than all "John the Revelator" AND "God's Gonna Cut You Down" put together.

You always have such awesome videos, and this is just more proof. I am in awe, and that song was amazing. I have to go find it, I liked this video so much. I love how you incorporated the scenes, and made it look so cool. Great job.

Here's the song - Hawksley Workman - God Decides (http://www.mediafire.com/?6tjmnbdhbjw)

It's a rather obscure song from an INCREDIBLE Canadian artist. Everything Hawk touches turns to awesome.

Thanks for the feedback!

I would love to watch the vid, it sounds awesome! But my computer won't let me play .mov files :( I don't suppose you could save the vid as a .avi or .wmv file instead? I know this is asking alot & don't feel like you have to...I'd just really like to see it.

[sacrilicious.livejournal.com]

I tried exporting it as an avi, but the quality came out terrible. Grainy and just awful. And for some reason Quicktime Pro will only let me export the first 30 seconds of the vid in wmv format.

Mov files are playable in quicktime if you have that. I also have the vid in iPod format as well. Can you play iPod videos?

ok. i'm not even in the spn fandom, but i can't say no to hawksley workman anything. you're the second post i've seen today of a vid to a hawksley workman song. sweet. *downloads vid* *downloads song*

[sacrilicious.livejournal.com]

HOMG someone else made a vid to a Hawk song? Where? I must see this!

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

Holy shit.

Holy shit, dude. That song was amazing and the clips were so perfect and everything about it just fit.

Wow. Man, you were right. God's Gonna Cut You Down has nothing on this.

[titti]

Wow, omg, this is so wonderful and powerful and I couldn't take my eyes off. I'm amazed by how well it's made. I'll be included in my recs tonight.

Help?

[hawk-dancing.livejournal.com]

I tried the download and appropriate vdieo media and all I get is sound. I don't suppose you have this stashed away somewhere in wmv format by any chance? ::puppy dog look:: My computer is an old cantankerous piece of crap held together by ducttape and curses...::fondly pats Dino while simultaneously kicking the hd...

Re: Help?

[sacrilicious.livejournal.com]

I don't have the vid in wmv files. Mov files are playable in Quicktime, which is a free download. Anytime I try to export any of my vids as wmv files, only the first 30 seconds will export for some reason. Sorry!

[amcw177.livejournal.com]

Oh, I LOVE this one! The song is creepy and wonderful, an amazing mix. And the clips match the music perfectly well.

All in all: I JUST LOVE THIS ONE \o/ You rock, so hard!

[tnt-dynamite.livejournal.com]

Okay, now that I got the file to play, I can finally give you some feedback :D

I really like the editing on this! You did an awesome job. I especially enjoyed the very beginning with the religious symbols & also about the last minute or so. I felt it all begin to come together around "The bombs, the sex, the bleeding, God decides".

I'm so glad I was able to watch it! It rocked!

[sacrilicious.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for the feedback! Glad you liked it!

[not-sally.livejournal.com]

Mind-blowing vid. Loved it.

[kingnixon.livejournal.com]

oh yay i didn't know hawksley workman had a new album!
mediafire never works for me tho :( i click the download link and the page just reloads

[anashi.livejournal.com]

In some parts I wished you had used a more subtle hand. But I love love love the 'small wild birds' and the very deft part about the painter, when the girl is shot. Very lovely feel to this vid. And it makes me want to listen to more by this band. The song was amazing.

[meri-oddities.livejournal.com]

Wow. Just wow. I'm blown away by this vid. I loved the song, too. Very well done. *g*

[gnatkip.livejournal.com]

I enjoyed this. I hadn't heard the song before, and yeah, I think your summary is right; the song is a good match for them. I especially like the footsteps at 1:56.

[jeweleglantine.livejournal.com]

I loved this vid. I like how all the clips fit the lyrics perfectly! It's so poignant and intense. Great job!

[jeweleglantine.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to let you know that this vid was recced in the Friday edition of crack_impala for being awesome. =)

[sacrilicious.livejournal.com]

I don't upload any of my stuff to streaming sites because the quality of YouTube and imeen is so bad. I'd advise you to download VLC Player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/). It's a free download, and this program can play literally ANY format out there.

[sionell8.livejournal.com]

Hi, I wandered over here from crack_impala and am so glad that I did! I've never heard this song before, and you managed to find the perfect clips for it.

I'm saving both the video and song for future enjoyment!

[tamibrandt.livejournal.com]

Round 19 awards are up at Sunnydale Stories; Round 20 is open http://www.skyefaerie.net/fanfiction/

[celestialseason.livejournal.com]

Found this thanks to a rec by titti
I really enjoyed this vid. It's an interesting song and I like the clips you chose to go with it. Thanks for sharing.

[gelasius.livejournal.com]

Hi! I'm here via morgandawns rec... I think... I downloaded this a few days ago and just now watched it. Anywho.

This is just gorgeously awesome in so many ways that I'm going to leave you the kind of feedback where I pluck out moments I really really loved and tell you what you already know, which is what you've done with the images:

1. Initial setup - church scenes + graveyard candlelight is both quietly lovely and kind of creepy.
2. "How low a man will stoop" = heart clutchy dramatic reaction from yours truly. DEEEEAN.
3. Each "small wild birds" introducing a new young-civvie-they-save is just perfect - it's like Meta on how they see themselves/how we see their journey all wrapped up together.
4. "The parts no one should see" - see #2, re: me. Flailing, utterly flailing.
5. Phantom Traveler bits to "the sincerity of airport kissing" strikes me too, somehow. I mean, it should be an obvious choice, but it's done just exactly right. *thumbs up*
6. Endings are important. This ending? SPOT ON. Makes me want to pet their adorable grinning faces.

So yeah. Nicely done, and you should know that this is going in my often-watched rotation of vids. :)

[snake-easing.livejournal.com]

Good job!

[sacrament666.livejournal.com]

oh, can someone reupload this vid? please!

[tabaqui]

Oh, yay!
I have a copy of this vid and love it but my copy is all weird and jerky so *yay* dl'ing it again and i just...love it. And also, so pleased to find the name of the artist and the lyrics, as i simply could *not* find anything about this song online before.

Just...a lovely, lovely vid. Thank you!

[sacrilicious.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it! This is probably my absolute favorite of all my vids, even now. If you want, I can upload a copy of the song for you. The artist is pretty obscure, and then the album this song is on was only available at concerts so this song is like...obscure squared.

[alwyshrt1uluv.livejournal.com]

I had to watch it twice to get the flow down (first time I kept reading the lyrics.)

Um yeah, this is th best vid I've ever seen.

*bravo*

[sacrilicious.livejournal.com]

::Grins:: This is probably my favorite of all my vids, so I'm really glad you liked it!

[slytherin-eyes.livejournal.com]

This video is amazing, but of course you know that. Anyway, I was wondering about the song? The link takes me to a page that says its no longer available or something. Is there another place to download it by an chance? Thanks!

[sacrilicious.livejournal.com]

Here's a new link to the song Hawksley Workman - God Decides (http://www.sendspace.com/file/lurv5p). Glad you liked the vid! It's still my very favorite of all my vids. ;-)
