2012: The Movie (FX Highlights)

Boiling 2012 (The John Cusack film of 2009) down to its FX essentials. The version I used had subtitles; I've left in only one, my favourite line from the film. See if you spot it.

"If My Verses Had Wings"

Here's a short video clip I made to accompany Elisabeth Schwarzkopf singing Hahn's setting of a Victor Hugo poem "Si mes vers avaient des ailes" . The lyrics are below...

Mes vers fuiraient, doux et frêles, Vers votre jardin si beau, Si mes vers avaient des ailes, Comme l'oiseau. Ils voleraient, étincelles, Vers votre foyer qui rit, Si mes vers avaient des ailes, Comme l'esprit. Près de vous, purs et fidèles, Ils accourraient, nuit et jour, Si mes vers avaient des ailes, Comme l'amour!

My verses would flee, sweet and frail, To your garden so fair, If my verses had wings, Like a bird. They would fly, like sparks, To your smiling hearth, If my verses had wings, Like the mind. Pure and faithful, to your side They'd hasten night and day, If my verses had wings, Like love!
