Thought of You Animation by Ryan Woodward

Thought of You is a beautiful composition directed and animated by Ryan Woodward.

It’s not often you find a mesmerizing video that is lovely and hypnotic. The song is “World Spins Madly On” by The Weepies. Though their music is touching, the animation is what brings the piece to life.

The song might be a bit melancholy but life is sometimes melancholy. I can appreciate this piece of art highlighting the highs and lows of everyday living.

Lyrics:

Woke up and wished that I was dead

With an aching in my head

I lay motionless in bed

I thought of you and where you’d gone

And let the world spin madly on

 

Everything that I said I’d do

Like make the world brand new

And take the time for you

I just got lost and slept right through the dawn

And the world spins madly on

 

I let the day go by

I always say goodbye

I watch the stars from my window sill

The whole world is moving and I’m standing still

 

Woke up and wished that I was dead

With an aching in my head

I lay motionless in bed

The night is here and the day is gone

And the world spins madly on

 

I thought of you and where you’d gone

And the world spins madly on…
