Vid - Captain America: Tour Cancelled

"Captain America: Tour Cancelled" (Watch on YouTube)

Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes versus the power of modern myth

In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
“I am leaving, I am leaving”
But the fighter still remains

- The Boxer by Simon & Garfunkel

Whoa my emotions ;_;

I started to tear up around the 2 minute mark because I'd never heard that verse before and I wasn't ready for that plus all the feelings.

And when the parallels between them in the 40s and them in the 21st century started lining up, it took my breath away.

What a fantastic vid!!

Aww thank you! Yeah, I'd been thinking about doing this vid sort of vaguely for a few years, but when I heard this live version of The Boxer with this extra verse about time and loss and growth, with all the cheering and crowd noise in the background, everything suddenly crystallized in my mind. I HAD to make this vid, and I HAD to use this version of the song. Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
