I FORGOT HOW EMOTIONALLY DISTRESSING MAKING MERTHUR VIDEOS IS???
It's real, guys. They're in love.
100%.
I've been avoiding making M//erlin videos for like a year and a half now because last time I made any BOTH OF THEM GOT BLOCKED WORLDWIDE WITHIN A WEEK? but this song is too merthur to NOT make this video, so the risk has been taken. I have dared to venture into dangerous territory. at this point I'm already prepared to scream when youtube fucks me over because THESE TWO ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT
This video sooort of has an actual structure (shocking, I know) with the choruses + that last really intense part of it:
1. First chorus: sort of from Arthur's perspective. He's saying "I should have saved you" to M.erlin after M.erlin reveals his magic because he's wishing he could have ~saved him~ from needing to hide who he is all those years and whatnot
2. M.erlin's perspective, which is pretty obvious
("You will not fail." - Gaius)
("You did not fail." - Kilgharrah)
("LMAO" - Merlin)
3. That last minute or so is kind of a montage of all the ways that they DID save each other? Both in moments of actual danger and also just in terms of like, being there for each other. Being a pal. Even just existing. And stuff.
NO I'M NOT /SCREAMING/ WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
Anyway this was fun and hopefully youtube is nice to me

If this is supposed to be a “friendship” then I want a “friendship” like that, too.

[@flowerbookmark]

but without that tragic ending

[@sameehanadeem6411]

Finished Merlin for the 5th time, and I cannot stop watching this. It's so beautifully crafted.

[@zuhaib7502]

Lol ive seen it 9x and i remember growing up watching this show still cant believe a show so good exists

[@francesechevarria9174]

Facts

[@estherlizziebrown1552]

It has been 6 moths since I was introduced to Merlin an have nearly finished it 5 times

[@slay875]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SAME IVE WATCHED IT LEAST 7 TIMEESSSSS

[@short_73]

There's a season six audio book on KZbin called Kingdom Come

[@christineluo493]

I haven't watched Merlin in so long.....and this just brought back all of the painful memories....gee thanks (no but seriously thank you this was stunning)

[@jessq6506]

@Du Over watch Avalon High and pretend it's the continuation lol. The dragon did say he'd rise again anyway, that he was meant to return. So he was just temporarily dead. But i know how u feel 😭. Damn 6th season. I still waiting for it

[@beyondhell4827]

It’s truly beautiful, isn’t it

[@raquelx8494]

IM FUCKED UP. This was my first die for ship and it still breaks me. This was so well edited

[@kendalbeffre2776]

Captin Shipper like people still talk about Merlin and it's been over for a while

[@Domcia29]

The most beautiful friendship I've ever seen on TV. The most heartbreaking, the most touching, the most devastating. Just the best. *cries* This brings so many memories and wakes up so many emotions that I feel like I'm falling apart. Literally. Clearly one of the best Merthur's video ever. Thank you for it WITH ALL MY HEART.

[@kalpitamookherji1808]

I second

[@zaferoph]

There is no better friendship possible in the world to be honest.. Ya know.. if you take out the part where one dies.. Though in it's own way that is beautiful too.

[@bharati1872]

Sake Rift, true😢

[@margaritacrisostomo9891]

agree ... the best bromance ever or so far

[@bharati1872]

Hmmmm.

[@ambercaffee2816]

**I am dead inside** - Michael Scott

[@granville7]

that is true only when you can watch this clip without any emotions, no crying, nothing stirring you up

[@granville7]

the song goes both ways and we mostly think of Merlin saving Arthur (as the show did too) *but* let us remember all the times Arthur went out of his way to save a wayward, 'useless' servant. Stuck-up Arthur, emotionally constipated if not stunted by his rigid upbringing (no mother, cold-hearted father who demands blind obediency) bullies his entitled way through life and then one day this ridiculous peasant comes his way, insolent and oblivious. The day after that boy saves his life and his father gifts him as servant. Now stuck with that bumbling fool he starts to change. It doesn't take long before he openly defies his father, drinks poison, risks his life over and over again for 'a servant'. When Merlin gets [severly] injured and the two have to separate he acts as if his soul left him. Nothing is important anymore, not his life nor Camelot. That is the extend of Arthur's 'I should have saved you'...

[@minik746]

It is always a pleasure to read your high quality analysis.

[@lovesimba]

I'm not crying it's just raining... indoors. 😢 Seriously though this is absolutely beautiful, you really captured Merlin and Arthor's relationship perfectly and the voiceovers flowed so smoothly. 👌 You really are an amazing editor. 😍

[@liasworkinprogress7768]

I’m actually in tears, this is by far the best merthur I have seen... Everything about this video is truly beautiful, I can’t handle my emotions right now. Thank you for that, thank you for creating such a masterpiece, thank you for everything 🙏 Merlin will live in our hearts forever

[@Kboss66]

I watch this everyday because apparently I hate myself and I enjoy crying lol. This song is perfect for them and I love it. Your editing skills are incredible! All the voiceovers and scenes are so good. I love these two idiots so much.

[@thelittlesister7607]

We need a new season of Arthur and everyone Rising again and seeing Merlin and the 21st century and Merlin helping them adjust and then Arthur uniting the land of Albion just like he was foretold to do and then happy ending for everyone the end

[@athanasiapaleologou8647]

For all these, you should read Merlin Kingdome Come! Trust me it's a masterpiece! It's the continuation the series deserved and for me that's the end and is so so true and real! Google it!!

[@slay875]

yasss

[@ChibiChan1985]

A beautiful video, brought back so many feels though. Best TV show ever made, the talent in this show was fenomenal. The chemistry was exquisit between these two. But damn did those writers fuck the finale up... It started as a prequel, it should have ended as a prequel, in the legend Arthur does not die shortly after he's king and this story is supposed to be about hope. Hope for a better kingdom one day, a golden age, which we never saw. Instead they snuffed out every hope there was with that miserable ending of poor Merlin waiting forever.

[@rolanddawson3657]

There are amazing videos on KZbin and there are depressing videos on KZbin. This is a fascinating mix of both. XD

[@andrei.mariano]

I misheard the first one "no man is worth your taste" 😂😂

[@whyquentin]

Omg this video wasn’t shown to me for a long time and now it’s back... so good and sad to rewatch it, this is my favorite Merlin video ever

[@alishagoss2842]

I used to love watching Merlin. I think I probably only watched the second and third season and then I just stopped for some reason, just seen that there is 5 seasons on Netflix, I know what I'm going to be doing at some point. Thank you for this, it's made me want to watch Merlin again!

[@nebulousdespair]

you should be charged for manslaughter because I am dead now and this edit is the reason why. that montage of their happiest moments together towards the end wow I haven't ugly cried like this in years. I love them so much. I love this so much. THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS

[@DognissEverdeen26]

HOLY FUCK I THINK THIS IS THE MOST EMOTIONAL A VIDEO HAS MADE ME IN A LONG TIME

[@liadragonfall7125]

Who would have thought a prince and a servant could have had such a beautiful friendship

[@granville7]

if they prince is emotionally suppressed due to growing up without a mother, instead having a tyrannical father and loads of yes-men surrounding him because he's the prince and noones dares to oppose him to his face - except this bumbling buffoon from some backwater village. Then this 'fool' saves his life [several times over], gives honest counsel [= talks back] and is funny, adorable and occasionally useful.^^

[@ccckchie]

woah, this is... beautiful, I don’t have words, you make me cry :(

[@janisc3683]

Nostalgia just hit so hard, brilliant edit

[@nebulousdespair]

always cry at the "you were my home" part and also the "you're my home, and now I'm lost, so lost" part

[@amayabustamante233]

I think I will cry everytime I see this, dude it's so painfull, Merlin and Arthur are that kind of friendships that can make you believe in the true friendship and the meaning of it, and see them growing up like this is so sad and just I want a friendship like this one Omg I am going to go to my room and cry a few moments

[@irenetoscana9431]

Wonderful video, great music, great editing. I came to know "Merlin" not long ago but now I can't let it go. I love all the characters, I adore Merlin and Arthur. Thanks for this great video.

[@kagami_tenshi0416]

Imagine spending most of your time trying to save a person and learning to care for him. Then only to lose him in the end, I'd be hurt, angry, and devastated too. The ending would never not be devastating.

[@filmmakerdreamstudios]

......what did i ever do to you?

[@lovelydreams2x]

Wow, okay, that was just-- fucking hell. First time hearing this song, but yeah, it's like perfect for them, and you edited it so so so well. I'm kind of broke, even to this day these two idiots are my bbs, and it still hurts like hell, but

[@poughkeepsies5363]

FuCK the parallel at the last "how was I to know" knocked me the fuck out JeSUS CHRIST

[@MiaWinchester794]

WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO DO THIS TO ME?!?!?!?! NO BUT SERIOUSLY THIS IS SO STUNNING I CAN'T EVEN PROPERLY FUNCTION RN

[@jessydriver9058]

OMYGOD the end of the video is priceless. And clumsy Merlin is so cute

[@jexitheguru]

Oh, thank you for this. Also curse you for reopening my Merlin wounds....why did I love every second of it?

[@Isabella-bj2kd]

I can't explain how much I love this. I'm crying my eyes out. They Deserved better

[@bayani931]

[@flowertales2]

[@bluebell8557]

@@flowertales2 Idk what the video is about but I always saw their relationship as a platonic bromance/friendship

[@aleynan2153]

This show breaks my heart every time I watch it but it’s just so amazing I can’t not watch it again and again. ❤️

[@darymarkova]

That's it, ladies and gents. The best Merthur video. They're so in love and it's so painful and YOU CAPTURED IT PERFECTLY. Imma go cry in my corner now.
