Mission Report [ 2.5mb mp3 ] Zipped.


I can sing this high mind rhyme
The day was long
The sky was fine
We spread our hands and our smiles wide
Our jewels reflected in their eyes

Ragged and thin they took us in
And washed our bodies from their water skins
We took their comfort and gave them toys
We kissed their girls
And beat their boys

Oh, ho, how can we go?
How can we travel with our cloak of woe?
How can we meddle in these hungry lives?
Bellies so full and our clear blue skies

Oh the hearth is cold and the wraith are blue
Ring of the ancestors sky is too

What's done is done
That war is won
And guilt is the indulgence of the favoured son
The day was long
The sky was fine
We spread our hands and our smiles wide


And I made a sort of vid to go with it:

video [ 16mb divX , 10mb .m4v , 57mb .mov ] Zipped.

Many thanks to Oxoniensis for hosting.

That is truly amazing work. I was thrilled to see that you'd made a new vid, and wow, yes! It's so in keeping with Teyla, words and song and the imagery in the video. You are truly multi-talented!

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

P.S. Would it help if you had a permanent link for the video and song? I'm very happy to host them for you.

[lim.livejournal.com]

Ta. I'm glad you like it.

If you want to host then that would be great. Give me a heads up with links and I'll... edit this post, I spose? Yes. That seems sensible. But these links should be good for 100 downloads each. That should last a bit, I'm sure, so don't put yourself out.

I think you might have underestimated how much people are going to enjoy/rec this! *g*

Anyway, I have the mp3 and the .m4v uploaded, and the .mov in the process of uploading here (http://oxoniensis-art.com/lim/). You'll be able to see when they're all fully uploaded (in about half an hour, maybe a bit longer). I'd stay around and give you the actual links, but I need to sleep, now!

Oh, thank you! I just noticed this comment, and the mp3 link on ysi seems to have run out. :)

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

Too good to miss out on!

[malnpudl.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for hosting! :-)

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

Glad I could help out!

::looks at you blearily::

I fell to sleep myself. :) I have edited the post with your links. Thank you very much. It's tremendously generous of you.

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome!

Hello again!

I'm just pinging you to say that I've been given some permanent hosting by Syne so I've switched the links over to my new site. So you can delete those off your server if you want. Thanks again for the hosting. It was a kind thing to do and I appreciate it.

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

Thanks for letting me know! Funnily enough, I'm sharing up some of my hosting space as I don't need it all, and I was trying to decide if it would be weird to offer you any or if it would seem wildly stalkery or something! *g* But I'm glad you're all sorted now.

[lim.livejournal.com]

I am! I have a site... er... http://kekkai.org/lim/ Tadah! *g* But thanks, (er, again *is wildly thank-y*) for thinking of me. Man, this fandom rocks; I love it!
