Fan Works: Forget the World by Nolan Snoap

There's more than a few Shadow of the Colossus music videos which try to capture the two main themes of the game (love and solitude). But, in my opinion, none come closer than Nolan Snoap's "Forget the World". I could go on all day saying how amazing the choice of music, montage and editing are but the best way to appreciate this piece of work is by seeing it yourselves, which you can do by downloading the High Quality version below:

Song used: Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol

Lyrics:

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

A big thank you to Nolan for giving me the opportunity to host the music video!
