VIDDER'S NOTE:
I probably shouldn't admit to a fav among my own vids, but I do think, out of all my Pros work, Under Pressure is probably the best match of music and theme. I wanted this vid to be about a day in the life of Bodie and Doyle. It seems to me the only way you make it through some of the situations they face is by leaning on those closest to you. The lads' friendship or love (love, love) allows them to be better people, which then allows them be better to the people around them. The vid builds to the famous scene from Fugitive where a bloodied Bodie runs desperately away from his friends, bomb strapped to his chest, willing to sacrifice himself if it means Doyle and Cowley survive. Doyle pounds after him, every bit as determined to save his partner, even if it means sacrificing his own life in the effort. This is ourselves under pressure.
[ORIGINAL NOTE: For me, this is a day in the life of Bodie and Doyle. Their relationship and the love they share (take that as slash or gen--I think it works either way) allow them to be the men they are. This is ourselves under pressure.]

Under Pressure
by Queen & David Bowie
Um boom ba bay
Um boom ba bay
Um Um boom ba bay bay
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Um ba ba bay
Um ba ba bay
Dee day duh
Ee day duh
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming get me out!
Tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people
People on streets
Day day day
da da dup bup bup
Okay
Chippin' around
kick my brains round the floor
These are the days
It never rains but it pours
Ee do bay bup
Ee do bay ba bup
Ee do bup
Bay bup
People on streets
Dee da dee da day
People on streets
Dee da dee da dee da dee da
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out!
Tomorrow takes me high high higher
Turned away from it all
Like the blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love
But it's so slashed and torn
Why why why?
(Love, love, love, love)
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love give love give love?
Give love give love give love give love give love give love?
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care
For the people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way
Of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
