DESCRIPTION:
I decided to remaster the first Synthesia-video I've ever made =D It might sound similar to my older version, but there's actually many things I changed:
1. The video runs now at a smooth 60FPS. I always hated how bad the framerate was in my older videos.
2. I changed the colors to actually match the singers. The old version was the only video where I didn't do that.
3. The background image is now sharper and less distorted than in the original.
4. I added another background track and changed some transitions to make it sound more complex
5. I tweaked the volume of many notes so the whole thing sounds consistently nice. I'm not sure if many people noticed this, but when you listen closely to the original, you can hear that many notes had a slight spike in volume for no reason. Well I sure did, and I found it very annoying to listen to, so I'm glad I could fix it here. Many of my older videos have this problem, actually.

Anyways, I don't know how often I'll do remasterings like this one, but I definitively enjoyed improving the quality my oldest Synthesia ^^ I hope it payed off and you like this new version.

Here's a link to the original in case you want to compare the two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Exq94LXwezs

----Lyrics----

Mondego:
We are friends, are we not?

Danglars:
And our interests are the same.

Villefort:
We collaborate...

Danglars:
And trust in fate to parcel out the blame.

Mondego:
There are ends we’ve all got that can justify the means.

Danglars:
We negotiate...

Villefort:
Then fabricate the facts behind the scenes.

Mondego:
Keeping all the details vague and secrets hidden

Danglars:
Safe in the balance sheet of those you trust
Because history is a story told by the winners of the fight
You imply a little...

Mondego:
Lie a little...


Villefort:
Testify and try a little sailor.

Mondego:
Who’s gonna question what goes on in the middle of the night?
Not a tinker...

Danglars:
Not a tailor...

Mondego:
Not his father or Mercedes...

Villefort:
Or a jailor

Mondego:
So we all are agreed,
Let’s be vigilant and wise

Danglars:
We must all pretend our naïve friend was caught in his own lies
For our plan to succeed
we must share but one belief:
Edmond Dantés stays and ends his days inside the Château d’If!

Mondego:
Where the softest things he’ll touch are stones and darkness
Deep in a craggy island dungeon’s keep.

Villefort:
Because history’s a story told by the men who make the laws

Danglars:
We supply a little lie...

Mondego:
To help the gullible to buy a little fable

Villefort:
What will become of the righteous men who fashioned Dantés’ flaws?

Danglars:
Rich...

Villefort:
And well respected...

Mondego:
And no more to be rejected at her table.

Mondego:
I’ll be a comfort in her time of grief and anguish
I’ll be Mercedes’ ever faithful acolyte,
every night

Villefort:
A part of me wishes Dantés didn’t have to languish
but I can see it’s him or me!

Danglars:
Let him sit there and rot until he’s forgot

Mondego:
Let him rot!

All:
History’s a story told by the people who survive

Villefort:
Let me sign and then initial

Danglars:
It’s the truth if it’s officially the story

Mondego:
What if the cost is one young man so three more men can survive?

Villefort:
He’s a price we have to pay

Mondego:
To live and fight another day for love and glory

Danglars:
He was standing in our way
A threat to justice in Marseille

Villefort:
So goes the story!

Mondego:
Stick to the story!

All:
Here ends the story!
