Rick Grimes Tribute || Dance With The Devil [TWD]

Song: Dance With The Devil
Artist: Breaking Benjamin

Hello there, ever since I did the Diary of Jane video (which in my opinion is my best video until today) I've been wanting to use another Breaking Benjamin song. It took me a while to gather the courage to take on another one of those extremely difficult songs, but I think the end result is magnificent. I really hope I was able to live up to the expectations people had when they clicked on this video because I spent a LOT of time on this.

The song is dark, gritty and emotional at the same time which perfectly describes Officer Friendly's personality throughout The Walking Dead. He's a man caught in a world filled with psychopaths and he has to decide how much of himself he allows to let go to survive. The more he lets go of his humanity, the more he becomes like the villains. In this video I tried to showcase that by not solely making him 'the devil', but him as well as negan and the governor and smaller villains. I wanted to end on a good note though and nothing fits that better than Rick sparing Negan for Carl's dying wish.

In this video I expiremented a bit, I tried out a darker colouring (let's hope YouTube doesn't mess it up again). I added little black bars, not only does it give an extra feeling to the edit, it mainly functions as a place for me to put the subtitles. Which brings me to the biggest expirement that I tried on this video: subtitles. Do you like them, do you hate them? I thought they were pretty clever here, considering the music is loud and people do tend the mumble from time to time. You can just ignore the subtitles of course, since it's mostly Rick talking and he speaks pretty clearly most of the time, but I thought it would be interesting to add the subtitles.

The reason I was reminded of this song was because a friend of mine made a tribute with 'Dance With The Devil' as well, you can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6qhHtlw8N4

Lyrics:

Here I stand, helpless and left for dead

Close your eyes, so many days go by
Easy to find what's wrong, harder to find what's right

I believe in you, I can show you that I can see right through all your empty lies

I won't stay long, in this world so wrong

Say goodbye, as we dance with the devil tonight
Don't you dare look at him in the eye, as we dance with the devil tonight

Trembling, crawling across my skin
Feeling your cold dead eyes, stealing the life of mine

I believe in you, I can show you that I can see right through all your empty lies

I won't last long, in this world so wrong

Say goodbye, as we dance with the devil tonight
Don't you dare look at him in the eye, as we dance with the devil tonight

Hold on. Hold on

Say goodbye, as we dance with the devil tonight
Don't you dare look at him in the eye, as we dance with the devil tonight

Hold on. Hold on

Goodbye

It appears we have even crossed the 20K subscriber mark now! Damn. That is incredible. I truly am honoured to have such an amazing community to support my channel and the videos I put out. It’s great to not only receive kind and heartfelt comments, but also to see that you guys are getting along in the comments with each other. Previously this would be more of sale-speech, but honestly, I doubt anything I say here can convince you to hit that subscribe button. If you watched the video you can decide for yourself. All I’ll say is that you clicking once on that button actually helps me out a lot, especially with how terrible YouTube’s algorithms are currently. ( I don’t even want to know what they will be like in the future) Either way, thank you to those who subscribe! Become a Kek (??) and completely destroy that subscribe button!
