Life, the Universe, Football and Everything in Dillon, Texas.

Ensemble vid. I don't think it's particularly spoilery, but it contains first season footage through Mud Bowl (1.20). Crossposted to fridaynight_tv, vidding and fnl_videos. The versions available now are slightly different than the ones originally posted, due to some small tweaks made the day after releasing it.

Basic notes/lyrics under the cut, but if you want more words and thinky-thoughts, I also wrote up an extended commentary.

Dude, finally. It took months (part of the blame for that goes to seasonal depression, though...it's not like the editing took months, once I actually felt inspired enough to start) and a rewatch of the first season and a spreadsheet to keep track of the clips (seriously! I *may* have over-clipped...), but oh happy day, it is done. I love FNL. Just thought I'd mention it. I may be a little tired and loopy.

So, for purposes of this vid, imagine that football is not just a game but an actual entity, like Dillon's fairy godmother or patron saint or something like that. She (yes, she...) wants good things for this dusty town. This is what she wants for them.

Lyrics:
Close the door and leave the world behind you
Open a window
And listen to the breeze blow through the pines
Take a deep breath
What more can you do?

Let the sun fall down
All around you
Let the night surround you
In a blanket of starlight
I'll whisper you a lullaby
Let the sun fall down

That old dark cloud acts like he knows you
Takes up too much time
Time you could be spending holding me
And he can't have you now
It's you and me here in this room

Let the sun fall down
All around you
Let the night surround you
In a blanket of starlight
I'll whisper you a lullaby
Let the sun fall down

The world will keep on turning
It'll all be there come morning
So tonight

Let the sun fall down
All around you
Let the night surround you
In a blanket of starlight
I'll whisper you a lullaby

Let the sun fall down
All around you
Let the night surround you
In a blanket of starlight
I'll whisper you a lullaby
Let sun the sun fall down
