*READ BEFORE WATCHING*
Not the usual music I use, but I forgot about this song for a long time and a friend of mine reminded me about the band and what more...good videos their songs make. And I re-found this one and came up with an epiphany. Be patient at the beginning of the song, it is a story done in both Cherokee and English (lyrics/translation at the bottom). But the pay off is right after the horse stampede...just wow. This is an awesome song. The sound effects at the beginning are actually ON the song, I didn't add them and did my best to match them up.
This was a total bitch to make. Lip synching, matching the sound effects in the song, matching the lyrics/beats in the song, those god damn battle cries, matching the mood/emotion of the lyrics, my back hurts from slouching in this chair too long....damn. 3 days of working on this. There were times I regretted coming up with this idea.
Movies included: Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, Pocohontas, Brother Bear, and a little bit of Balto. However, the song is about none of these movies. Usually I make videos about a movie, this time, I made one about a song.
Lyrics including the voice over at the beginning...since its a bit hard to understand sometimes.
Spirit Horse of the Cherokee
Song By: Man O' War
The trail of tears began for all the cherokee
The white men came to trade & borrow but then they would not leave
Some of us were taken by boat, and died at sea
Those of us who lived were sold to slavery
We welcomed them as brothers knowing nothing of their greed
Born hunters not the hunted as the white man hunts for me
We are descendants of the animals we live among the free
Our trail of tears would end one day at wounded knee.
Great spirit, thunder birds fly, we are wild and free
To fight and die by the open sky, spirit horse ride for me
When we do the ghost dance, the buffalo will return
Paint ourselves for war, now blood and fire burn
Great spirit makes us strong, take us to the sky
The cherokee are brave, we are not afraid to die
Great spirit, thunder birds fly, we are wild and free
To fight and die by the open sky, spirit horse ride for me
Red cloud, black hawk, sitting bull, crazy horse, geronimo
Strong and brave warriors to the grave
There has been much killing there will be much more
The medicine man is dancing hes calling us to war,
Hatchets sing with pride let the white men die
Great spirit, thunder birds fly, we are wild and free
To fight and die by the open sky, spirit horse ride for me less
