Blue Oyster Cult - The Vigil (1979) [720p HD] descargar videos gratis

[Video #17] from http://www.youtube.com/user/MetalGuruMessiah the address for MetalGuruMessiah's Musical Paint Box! Check out my other videos!

My 17th video in a series I'm working on for some of my favorite songs from the past.

It was way past time for a Blue Oyster Cult video! Again, as with most of my other favorite bands, the question was.....for which song? This band has so many great songs that would make great videos! Was going to do "Nosferatu" first, but several videos have been created for that one, considered "Joan Crawford", "Then Came The Last Days of May", "Astronomy" and pretty much everything on Agents of Fortune....but finally went with "The Vigil" from 1979's Mirrors.

I always loved the fat sound on this song, the tempo changes, and the lyrics....back in the day it used to be one of my go to songs for testing out my new 8-track and cassette car stereo systems! :-) It still sounds great.....but WHERE IS THE REMASTER FOR THIS Underrated! album?!?

The video is....a.) long and b.) the most layered video I've yet attempted.....lots of masks and color manipulations repeated through numerous variances. The color palette originally consisted of a much wider spectrum, but I pulled everything back towards blue/black/purple ("In a violet vision"!)....to make it a bit more consistent......though the open colored vision was.....wild!

[Lyrics]

In a purple vision

Many thousand years ago

I saw the silent stranger

Walk the earth alone

Twenty-seven faces

With their eyes turned to the sky

I've got a camera

And an airtight alibi

I know they're out there

We see them coming

Faster than the speed of light

They greet us in the dead of the night

Somewhere, someday, someone

They'll be light and sound

They'll alight on the ground

On which we stand

Somewhere, someday, someone

Will help us to survive

They're gonna show us hell

And bring us back alive

Well, I'm no poet, but I can't be fooled

The lies don't count, the whispers do

I hear the whispers on the wind

They say the earth has fallen due

We run in circles

Our days are numbered

Every night I look away

To the heavens and I pray

Come to us

Come to us

Our lights are dim

Our roads are crumbling

And we don't know what to do

We're sick and tired

And dying to meet you

'Cause we bit off more than

We can chew
