Today's musical selection is by Jordan Hill (and reportedly from the "Casper" movie, but it's been so long since I've seen that, I have no idea) that someone sang at my Spring Choir concert and the first image that jumped into my head was Rachel singing to Tobias. ~sigh~ Not a big fan of R/T anymore (but I said that in the "Your Eyes" note, didn't I?), but you gotta go with your gut instincts right? So here we go, enjoy!
Remember Me
Before the music starts, we see Tobias' meadow (presumably his new
one, as this is post-54) at sunset. Tobias' circles down from the sky to
a branch on his tree. He settles himself in and falls asleep.
As the intro starts, the camera pans up and up and up, through the
red and orange colored clouds, until the sky is blue and everything's sunny.
Everything being lots of clouds. The camera focuses in on a lone girl sitting
on one of these clouds: Rachel, sitting with her knees drawn to her chest,
looking down between a gap in the clouds. She begins to sing.
Every now and then
We find a special friend
Who never lets us down
Camera now focuses on the gap in the clouds so we can see what Rachel is singing to: it's Tobias, content down in his tree, fast asleep, just as we left him.
Who understands it all
Reaches out each time we fall
You're the best friend that I've found
Scene dissolves to a memory of Rachel's: Tobias flying away from
her while she's watching and singing.
I know you can't stay
A part of you will never ever go away
Your heart will stay
Back to Rachel, still as she was when we first saw her
I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
The scene of Rachel and Tobias' picnic from book 49(?)
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way
Scene from 33, when Tobias and Rachel are dancing.
I don't need eyes to see
The love you bring to me
No matter where I go
I know that you will be there
Forever more a part of me
You're everywhere
I'll always care
Rachel, with an ethereal glow about her, is now standing in front
of Tobias' tree that same evening, singing to him. During this verse, the
camera slowly pans in a full circle around both Rachel and Tobias.
I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way
Dream sequence of sorts. It's day, Tobias is perched in his tree,
staring intently at the field searching for his next meal. Rachel is now
sitting on a branch just behind Tobias' so she's just slightly over his
right shoulder.
And I'll be right behind your shoulder
Watching you
Tobias swoops down to the make the kill and Rachel is suddenly standing
down in the field, watching him swoop down, attempt to grab his food, miss,
and swoop back up to his tree
I'll be standing by your side
And all you do
And I won't ever leave
As long as you believe
You just believe
Back up to where Rachel was watching Tobias through the clouds. The
camera moves so we can see Tobias through the gap. Rachel reaches a hand
down towards him. The camera follows her hand reaching towards him as the
singing continues.
I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
Her hand stops just short of actually touching him. Quick cut back
up to Rachel's face, she's dissapointed she can't touch him. Slowly she
brings her hand back up.
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Camera focuses on Rachel's sad face
Remember me this way
Remember me this way
Camera pans back down from Rachel, through the sky back down to where
Tobias is in his tree, just beginning to wake up. He settles on his branch
contentedly as Rachel, off camera, speaks the last lyric
This Way...
