thisbluespiritI made a proper fanvid for Shadow of the Tower (with thanks to akashasheiress who - accidentally - gave me the song and made it possible).
YouTube link in case embedding fails.
Henry/Elizabeth of York and the endless conspiracies and mistrust and the fragility of this new dynasty. (Some shots of, erm, rather fake death/blood and executions. Also death masks again. But not morbid like the vidlets.)
To Effigy by Andrew Bird. (Which in many ways shouldn't work, but it just fitted all the way through. And non-existent telephones were absolutely around in the 15th/16th Century. The only kind, yes.)
If you come to find me affable
Build a replica for me
Would the idea to you be laughable
Of a pale facsimile?
So will you come to burn an effigy?
It should keep the flies away
And when you long to burn this effigy
It should be of the hours that slip away, slip away
It could be you, it could be me
Working the door, drinking for free
Carrying on with your conspiracies
Filling the room with a sense of unease
Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone
Like the words of a man who's spent a little too much time alone
When one has spent too much time alone
So will you come to burn my effigy?
It should keep the flies away
If you long to burn an effigy
It should be of a man whose has lost his way, slips away
It could be you, it could be me
Working the door, drinking for free
Carrying on with your conspiracies
Filling the room with a sense of unease
Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone
Like the words of a man who's spent a little too much time alone
When one has spent too much time alone
The various 'conspirators/traitors/threats' include: Earl of Lincoln, Humphrey and Thomas Stafford, Lord Lovell, Earl of Warwick, Sir William Stanley, the Abbot of Santay, Lambert Simnel, Perkin Warbeck, and those involved with the Cornish uprising.
And I know, one day I'll do a fanvid that isn't really odd and obscure again.
