#enough i want you.... carve your name across three counties ground it in with bloody hides their broken necks will line the ditch til you

[stellarspecter]

what if i said this tornado loves you ben hargreeves & the horror & jennifer gifset. what then

[conradrasputin]

My love, I am the speed of sound I left them motherless, fatherless Their souls they hang inside-out from their mouths But it's never enough

I want you

Carved your name across three counties Ground it in with bloody hides Their broken necks will line the ditch 'Til you stop it, stop it Stop this madness

I want you

[yappacadaver]

lyrics for you

My love, I am the speed of sound I left them motherless, fatherless Their souls they hang inside-out from their mouths But it's never enough

I want you

Carved your name across three counties Ground it in with bloody hides Their broken necks will line the ditch 'Til you stop it, stop it Stop this madness

I want you

I have waited with a glacier's patience Smashed every transformer with every trailer 'Til nothing was standing 65 miles wide Still you are nowhere Still you are nowhere Nowhere in sight

Come out to meet me Run out to meet me Come in to the light

Climb the boxcars to the engine through the smoke into the sky Your rails have always outrun mine So I pick them up and crash them down In a moment close to now 'Cause I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss I miss how you'd sigh yourself to sleep When I'd rake the springtime across your sheets

My love, I am the speed of sound I left them motherless, fatherless Their souls they hang inside-out from their mouths But it's never enough

My love I'm an owl on the sill in the evening But morning finds you Still warm and breathing

This tornado loves you, this tornado loves you This tornado loves you, this tornado loves you This tornado loves you What will make you believe me? This tornado loves you, this tornado loves you This tornado loves you, this tornado loves you This tornado loves you What will make you believe me?

my love, I am the speed of sound I left them motherless, fatherless their souls dangling inside-out from their mouths but it's never enough I want you

carved your name across three counties ground it in with bloody hides their broken necks will lie in the ditch 'til you "Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop this madness!" I want you

I have waited with a glacier's patience smashed every transformer with every trailer 'til nothing was standing sixty-five miles wide but still you are nowhere, still you are nowhere nowhere in sight

this tornado loves you what would make you believe me?

Last song of the day, folks. Always loved this song, especially the lyrics about a tornado in love with a person. My love I am the speed of sound I left them motherless, fatherless Their souls dangling inside-out from their mouths But it's never enough I want you Carved your name across three counties Ground it in with bloody hides Their broken necks will lie in the ditch Till you "Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop this madness!" I want you I have waited with a glacier's patience Smashed every transformer with every trailer Till nothing was standing 65 miles wide But still you are nowhere, still you are nowhere Nowhere in sight Come out to meet me, run out to meet me Come into the light Climb the boxcars to the engine Through the smoke and to the sky Your rails have always outrun mine so I Picked them up and crashed them down In a moment close to now 'Cause I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss How you'd sigh yourself to sleep When I'd rake the springtime across your sheets My love I am the speed of sound I left them motherless, fatherless Their souls dangling inside-out from their mouths But it's never enough My love, I'm an owl on the sill in the evening But morning finds you Still warm and breathing This tornado loves you This tornado loves you This tornado loves you This tornado loves you This tornado loves you What will make you believe me? This tornado loves you This tornado loves you This tornado loves you This tornado loves you This tornado loves you What will make you believe me? Songwriter: Neko Case

omg this tornado loves you is such a good Ben and the Horror song. Like, the Horror loves Ben not in the human nature way but in its own inhuman way, the way a tornado loves- not understanding why their beloved human begs them to stop their destructive rampage. But it’s in their nature. Sorry I just really wanted to talk about this I love this theme so much I have thoughts ty for introducing the song! Do you happen to have more thoughts on this?

LITERALLYYYY the horror loves him the only way it knows how.... violently destructively not knowing the meaning of the word "soft"... it's literally such an interesting dynamic and the show did NOTHING with it not even crumbs of a thing with it. well more for me i suppose

for the song in particular i'm not sure what exactly i was gonna do with it? i had vague plans for a gifset after s3 but clips of them are scarce and not really the vibe i'm looking for (like there's basically no scenes of the horror doing anything but being used in combat. and now i guess being used as sparrow ben's arms/tail)

mostly the lyrics i'm obsessed with are from the chorus and the end:

My love, I am the speed of sound I left them motherless, fatherless Their souls dangling inside-out from their mouths But it's never enough I want you This tornado loves you, this tornado loves you, this tornado loves you, this tornado loves you This tornado loves you What will make you believe me?

honestly i'm not quite sure which clips i'd pair up with which lyrics for a gifset or an amv or whatever. we just don't have enough footage of the horror to make it really visually interesting and not repetitive i think. i'd love to try but i'm dreading digging through the episodes for clips it's the worst part of gifmaking. if someone has a ben & the horror compilation ready to go i will give my life for you sldkfjs

but godddd the way she screams the first "what will make you believe me" is so fucking POWERFUL it's crazy. and then the second one is so defeated almost. like "i've tried to tell you as loudly as i can so now i'm asking quietly. what will make you believe me?"

because ben will never believe the horror loves him. how could he? it's literally called the horror. it's scary and it hurts and it kills and covers him in blood since he was just a kid and it's always there, just waiting to be let out. maybe umbrella ben could have gotten on friendlier terms with it if he had grown up and left the academy, but sparrow ben? no way. i'm not sure if he even thinks of it as a separate entity, since i don't recall any mention of the horror in s3 or 4 (correct me if i'm wrong). he probably just thinks of his tentacles as a cool thing he can do and nothing more. just a way to be more powerful than his siblings.

the addition of jennifer is interesting and definitely something to play around with. if i actually make something for it i'd definitely pair the lines "carve your name across three counties/ground it in with bloody hides" with the cleanse on its godzilla rampage. which i mean sucked as a resolution to that plot and ben's whole deal but i've talked about that in another post already.

if anyone has ideas on best lines to pair with ben/jen/horror clips let me know! and thank you for sending in this ask, i love an excuse to talk about them!! have this gif from two years ago when i was playing with ideas for this gifset as a treat
