Ahh... I made this video in about three hours spread over 24 hours... and was featured on EQD about eight hours after uploading. New record! I was focusing on simplicity for this one, but I think next time I'll play with the effects and see what I can really do. ;)

Song is originally by Bill Withers, but is performed here by Seal. I used this version because it's shorter and I was worried the video might get a bit boring with the same message for four and a half minutes. Figured I didn't need to put the artist in the title of this one... everyone knows lean on me, right?

I haven't seen any other PMVs of lean on me, which is kind of surprising given that this is a show about friendship! Loads of material to work with here.

I use Adobe Premiere Elements 9 for editing.

LYRICS:

Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow

But if we are wise
We know that there's
Always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things
You need to borrow

For no one can fill
Those of your needs
That you won't let show

You just call on me brother
When you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem
That you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

You just call on me brother
When you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem
That you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load
You have to bear
That you can't carry

I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me

Call me
If you need a friend
(Call me)
Call me
(Call me)
If you need a friend
(Call me)
If you ever need a friend
(Call me)

Call me
(Call me)
Call me
(Call me)
(etc.)
