Mass Effect - Holding Back the Flood
My wife had some music playing in the background whilst I was playing through Mass Effect 2 and this song came on whilst I was in the final stages of the suicide mission. I realised that the phrase "holding back the flood" seemed highly appropriate and the next time I heard it, I actually listened to the words. It felt that the song could have almost been written to cover the Mass Effect trilogy, or at least there were enough cutscenes in the game to nicely align to the verses, in the right order as well. I couldn't get that thought out of my head until I actually sat down and made the video I could 'see' in my minds eye every time I heard the song; I think it worked out pretty well all things considered.
Credits go to Take That for the music and BioWare for the video footage taken from the games of the original Mass Effect Trilogy; I make no money from this, but I enjoyed putting the two together in a way I'm sure neither expected.
