I am neither breather or speaker
I am neither walker or sleeper
I am neither sister, brother, son, or daughter
Solely in my chest is my heart, a drum of water

Started watching Muppet Treasure Island, which I have not watched since I was a little girl, and, um, has anyone made a Black Sails fan vid using any of the songs from Muppet Treasure Island?
When you are in over your head, sometimes the only thing you can do is drown.
[video description: a Black Sails fanvid, set to the song Under the Water by Aurora (click link for lyrics). As the music slowly fades in, the video begins with the long slow shot of Silver fading into view under water in the very beginning of episode 4.01. The first heartbeat sounds from the show’s audio are present, but fade away before any dialogue is heard.
The next two clips are Silver being dragged along the beach by Israel Hands and then his walk out of the tunnels, alone, after Flint surrenders to Eleanor as collateral for the cache.
After this, the video transitions into a montage of moments when Silver finds himself being drawn deeper into the narrative and into the crew of The Walrus. These are interspersed with more shots from his struggle, alone, underwater in episode 4.01, as the music builds in intensity.
When the song returns to a slower tempo, the montage begins to incorporate scenes of emotional attachment to Madi and to Flint, as well as more pivotal moments of struggle or tragedy such as his intense grief when he believes Madi to be dead.
As the song starts to wrap up, the montage focuses on Silver’s relationships with Madi and Flint, culminating in scenes from the finale where Madi returns to Silver after their fight and where Silver raises his pistol and aims it at Flint in the forest. As the last strains of music fall away, Flint’s voice saying “Where else would you wake up in the morning and matter?” is heard over a scene where the camera slowly descends into the water until it fades to black.
