Well I woke up this morning like I've always done
with a strong cup of coffee and a sense of things to come
and I raised my arms up to the sky just to see if they'd grown
seems the longer that you live the more there is to know

I'm not looking for trouble, trouble always finds me
and I recognize it coming and I don't want to see it leave
now you're asking for attention, could you take some company?
and come into the blue with me

I saw you standing quiet with a paper in your hand
reading between the lines do you find it hard to understand
why all talk of love and peace and reconciliation has to end?
I want to be loving you all that I can

oh I'm not looking for trouble, trouble always finds me
and I recognize it coming and I don't want to see it leave
now you're asking for attention, can you take some company?
and come into the blue with me

say it, say it, say it
it's all about love
say it, say it, say it
it's all about love
say it, say it, say it
it's all about love
say it, say it

oh I'm not looking for trouble, trouble always finds me
and I recognize it coming and I don't want to see it leave
and if you're asking for attention, can you take some company?
and come into the blue with me
and come into the blue with me
and come into the blue with me

This is just wonderful. The whole thing just bubbles with the joy of Who at its best, and the clips and the song match each other perfectly. I was grinning idiotically the whole time I was watching it. Thanks for all the thought and hard work you put into this! (Also, YAY SHALKA.)

[usuallyhats]

Thank you! (SHALKA! I'd forgotten how much I loved it. ♥)

This is exactly what I needed to watch last night as I came down from my Doctor Who Day euphoria. Brilliantly done -- I reblogged it on tumblr.

This is a really lovely tribute to fifty (mostly) glorious years of Who, and the song is perfect.

Oh oh oh -- I love this so much! What a beautiful love letter this is.

And I love how it flows -- you've done beautiful things with motion here. But mostly I just love it, and them. ♥!

This is pretty fabtastic! :D I literally laughed out loud at the "asking for attention" line over Eleventy's speech in the Pandorica episode. HA.

Also: all these clips from Classic Who are making me realize how badly I need to see more of it. WANT.

[usuallyhats]

Thank you! :D

Yay! There's so much awesome Classic Who out there. <3
