⤷ Day 13: Lyrics ⟼ Destiel + I’ll Cover You (Reprise)

For @lengthofropes Follower Celebration
⤷ Day 6: “Save Yourself” // purple&gold // desolation
The song is from the original French album of Les Misérables (1980). This is the one who gave "A little fall of rain" tho I feel like they don't have the exact same take on Éponine's death.
"A little fall of rain" focuses way more on Marius, and Éponine being happy bc she can die for Marius. Which is fair, that's what happens, but not only!! In "Ce n'est rien" Éponine can shine as a person, more than a side love interest. It's her life fading, it's her heart who never got to give love, bc she never got to be given love in the first place.
She's not dying for Marius, more than she's being killed by bullets. She's not giving her life to save Marius, more than her life is being stolen by misery.
Hence my choice to go with the french song for this amv. Emphasizing Jo's comphet and the tragedy of her life, it seemed more fitting to use the song which actually let Éponine exists outside of her love for Marius.
