Original song by Kenny Loggins
Animation by Jill D'Entremont
Once upon a dream
Moonlit wings come into view
Winter casts her spell
And all the world is born anew
A child sees a star through a window
He knows with all his heart
That wonder is coming
Waiting... Hoping... Believing...
Only in December
Are hearts so full or feel more alone
Could it be the same for everyone?
I tried really hard to get this animatic done during December (I actually started this in December of 2022!) but I'm only 20 days late! It's also the first animation I haven't also covered; I left Kenny Loggins' amazing vocals this time.
While this is not exactly what happens in "Westfall", the lyrics helped me tell this "Christmas story" I made for this video. Both have themes of loss and recovery, and Hudson goes through quite a bit of both -- which may be why he and Gemini find comfort (and love) in each other's presence.
