Eye by GlynisJune@aol.com *Synth-harpsichord intro: A skeleton key is falling through the sky, and falls into a pond at the feet of a little girl. You see the face of the girl, about 6 or 7 years old, with pale skin, black hair, blue eyes, dark lips, narrow face, very pretty. She is wearing a black jumper with buttons on the shoulders, a white shirt underneath and Mary Janes. The girl glances into the pond, looking very sad. The whole video takes place in this Cloud-Land in the sky. The ground is made of clouds. Through the whole video, the wind is blowing slightly. *Beat comes in Girl's bare feet, walking very slowly, but with the music. "I lie, I wait." Close-up on Billy's face, singing. The background is blurry, you can't quite see where he is, but it's mostly light colored. "I stop" The Girl gives the camera sad puppy dog eyes. "I hesitate" Shot of James sitting on a cloud-ledge with something is his hands. His hands are cupped around something glowing. He is looking at it, then he glances up at the camera. "I am" Girl is walking through cloud-forest with beautiful, green trees. "I breathe" Girl looks longingly at a tree with fruit on it. "I mend" Billy singing "I think of it" This all happens very quickly- The Girl reaches for some fruit, something in the tree reaches out and bites her, and then you see a close-up of her delicate little finger with a drop of blood on it. "Is it any wonder..." D'Arcy is levitating in mid-air, on her back. The camera starts at level with her, then moves up until you can see her closed eyes that open on the word "sleep." "All I have.." Thin, pale, almost shimmering hand gives The Girl a small box. She looks up at whoever gave it to her (we can't see who it is) and then opens it. Inside is a pearl. "Is it any wonder..." Billy singing. "Through you" Girl looks sadly at pond. "Turn to the gates of Heaven" Close-up on D'Arcy's face. She turns her head to the left slightly, not looking at the camera, her hair in blowing in the breeze. You see tall silver gates in the background. "To myself..." D'Arcy walks to gate in flowing silver dress with thin straps. She wears this for most of the video. "Turn away from" Shot of James' hands, holding the glowing thing. Camera pans up to see James' eyes looking upward. Camera keeps going up until all you can see is the sky. "Eye" A shot of Billy singing cuts in, just for the word "eye." "It's not enough" Girl is standing at the pond. A single tear rolls down her face, it falls into the pond and makes ripples. "Just to touch" Close-up of The Girl's open hand with the pearl on her palm. Then cuts to a shot of The Girl's face, her eyes looking forward but no quite at the camera. "It's not enough" James and D'Arcy holding hands, like in Ring-Around-the-Rosie, looking at eachother. Girl running in very slight slow-motion. "I taste" Girl picks up cloud-tree fruit from under a tree. "I love" Shot of the fruit, then Girl's face. "I call" When she tries to peel it like an orange, it cracks like an egg. "I bleed enough" Red "blood" oozes out from the cracked fruit, gets all over her hands. "I hate" Slight side-view of James on cloud-ledge, holding the glowing thing. He is looking ahead of him, but then his eyes shift to the camera and gives a slight smile. "I'm not" D'Arcy in floating position, like before, but she is slowly shifting from horizontal to vertical. Her eyes are closed, but when her feet touch the ground, they open. "I was" Billy "I want too much." Wind blows "Blood" off Girl's hands. "Is it any wonder..." Girl dips her hand into pond, and her fingernails come out shiny silver. Looks surprised. "All I have.." Girl splashes water on her head, as it touches her hair, the black drips from her hair, and it turns platinum blond. Where it dripped onto her dress, it's silver. Her whole face looks brighter. Girl in state of wonder. "Is it any...." Billy "Through you" James with the glowing thing. "Turn to the gates...." Billy sings and opens the gate. "To myself..." Sees D'Arcy and James standing next to eachother, holding hands. They look straight at the camera. "Turn away..." Newly brightened Girl turns her head, her mouth open. Camera pans to view of D'Arcy's head... notice the similarity? *Synth Solo: James...... what are you holding? Billy sits on the ledge, swinging his feet. *The quiet high-pitched bells come in: Girl is on a tightrope, her clothing has all turned silver, holding the box that had the pearl in it. Very wobbly. "It's not enough" James' face "Just to touch" When the piano/string part comes is, you see D'Arcy, frozen in a pose on a rotating platform, looking like one of those kiddie jewelry box ballerinas. She's wearing a white leotard, white tights, white toe shoes, and a skirt-like white tutu. She looks strangely pretty. "Not enough" Billy singing "Just to touch" Back to D'Arcy "Not enough" Girl is still on the wobbly tightrope. Cuts to shot of James, clasped hands (with the glowing thing still in them), eyes tilted to the sky, looks like he's praying. "Just to touch" Billy singing/Girl is on tightrope, the rope is beginning to snap. "Not enough" "D'Arcy, clinging to gate from the inside, longingly looking out. Cuts to a shot of James doing the same. "Just to touch" Girl on tightrope, rope continues to become weaker... the tension builds.... Billy is looking up. "Not enough" D'Arcy and James are at the gate together, looking out. The Girl on the tightrope screams, but you can't hear anything. "Just to touch" Billy with one arm outstretched, reaching for something. James is still holding the glowing thing. The rope is breaking.... "Not enough" D'Arcy is staring into space, the camera pans up until you can't see her, just the sky. "Just to touch" The rope finally snaps, The Girl falls. The box falls out of her hand, the lid comes off and the pearl falls out. The Girl falls into the bleaching pond. As she touches the water, she turns back to her normal self again. She is sinking to the bottom of the pond. Her eyes are still open, but not very alive-looking. Goes to a shot of Billy, then D'Arcy, both very blank looking. Then James. He opens his hands and it's the key! -Back to the pond floor- The Girl is sitting at the bottom of the pond, her black hair swishing around in the water. The key soon comes into view, and it sinks to the bottom of the pond, right next to The Girl. (we assume James gave it back to her but, alas, it was too late) -Final shot- In the foreground, Billy is clutching the gate, looking out. In the background, James and D'Arcy are holding hands, standing in the clouds.
