HQ VERSION (since it got so pixellated) HERE:    • A Gift to u/ (HQ)  
If anyone knows what the dance I'm doing during the chorus is FROM, please tell me, because I spent a lot of time trying to execute it properly, and I know only a small sub-section of people will even care, but I think they'll REALLY get a kick out of it. ... You know, it's like how ALL my content is, hahaha.

Huge thank you to my fAmily. Everywhichwhere they are. And may your own chosen family be strengthened through each other's love.

The greenscreening in this was done primarily through Runwayml's machine learning website: https://runwayml.com/ Finessing it was quite an ordeal, taking the black-and-white luma mask & manually animating fixes over it, but it still saved me a tremendous amount of Time. Speaking of fixes, due to dancing BEHIND other objects, I had to re-draw my feets & legs many, many times. Most amazing factoid, though: the kaleidoscope is made up of footage from my brother Rey' exploring his neighbourhood during a night-snowfall. I put it through a kaleidoscope just as a visualization of what I wanted, and with a lot of retiming & composition tricks, I was able to use it as a final product. Thank you so much for sharing the magic, Rey'!

LYRICS:
You've heard me in passing in-between those Christmas songs.
Am I silly or serious? Not quite clear, yes...
But I hope that I belong, too.
An anonymous Christmas gift to u/.

How is your family?
That's all I need this year until the end of time.
Maybe the world's in shambles,
Erase it all,
Let it fall away.
We'll build a diff'rent kind of day.

I wish you hope.
I wish you love.
I wish you ev'ry happiness.
I know we're lost.
I know it's rough.
I know, I sound like the epitome of sappiness. (I know I don't know you. Ha.)
You can't get rid o' me.

What you've lost is what you gain.
See, I may not know you, but the fact remains
He loves You.
