Lyrics
Undo this storm, undo this storm
Undo this storm and wait
I can't control withering wonders
Flowers that lose their shape

I lie awake and watch it all
It feels like thousand eyes
I lie awake and watch it all
It feels like thousand eyes

I'll be the calm, I will be quiet
Stripped to the bone, I wait
No, I'll be a stone, I'll be the hunter
A tower that casts a shade

I lie awake and watch it all
It feels like thousand eyes
I lie awake and watch it all
It feels like thousand eyes
I lie awake and watch it all
It feels like thousand eyes

I am the storm, I am the storm
I am the storm, so wait

Here via Naye. That was amazing. Astounding! I wish I weren't so tech stupid, I would love to watch it on my entire screen instead of that tiny Vimeo box. But even there, it is profoundly effective, music just right for the scenes. Wow.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it. You can see it full-screen two ways:

• Click on the Vimeo logo to go to the version at the Vimeo site. The player at the site offers more options in the control bar at the bottom, including an X made out of four arrows. Click the X to see the video in full-screen and Esc to go back to the normal mode.
• Download it from the link in the post, unzip the file, and watch with the video player of your choice. If you have a relatively recent computer, the pre-installed video player should recognize the file. If you have an older computer, you may need to tell the software it's a video file, or download a player that can recognize it. I use VLC.

To see the subtitles online, click CC and select "English (United States)". For the download, they'll play automatically in most players, but if not, there should be an option to load a subtitle file.

Downloading the app worked. Thank you!

I have to say, seeing it on my bigger screen reveals just how brilliant this vid is. I recognize every single scene, which makes the palimpsest of memory under image, and under that music, exponentially gripping.

Thank you for persevering! I'm glad you found it worthwhile.
