Summary: The song "At the Begining" with various X-File clips.
Spoilers: Everything is fair game (up to season 9)
Author's Notes: At first I thought it was just a really neat song. Then I began to think... "Wouldn't it be nice if they had this song play (it really fits M and S) and showed various clips from the series." Pretty soon I was actually able to picture which clips I would put in..and here it is. (There are two clips in here that I've not seen myself, but given the nature of the series I'm sure it exsists somewhere. I know a few episodes I would check, but I don't have them.)
Notice: The lyrics that would be playing during the clip are postitioned after the written version of the clip. Nothing can be heard but the music, so any part that talks about someone actually saying something well, you would only be able to see their mouth move. Clips begining with (**) are in the origional mix, but not the one I have. I know someone who actually has done stuff like this and if I ever get the chance I will do it as well.
