Wow.

I very rarely watch music videos, but because it was you I did - and this just blew me away. I had to watch it twice before I could even begin to comment. The song's perfect, of course, and the clips and images you chose tell the story so vividly and brilliantly. I love the way you started with that scene from Utopia - what a wonderful lead-in! Then the rest of the story followed so naturally, it was as if the song was written just to tell Jack and the Doctor's story.

Wonderful work. Sheer genius!

Thank you so much. This is my first (completed) fanvid, and truth to tell, I was a little nervous about it. The song is utterly perfect for their relationship, especially since it's sung by John Barrowman. So I was building on a great foundation.

I'm glad you think the rest of the structure is worthy of the foundation.

I'm not usually much for fans vids, but this is lovely. :-)

Thank you! I don't watch many fanvids myself, so maybe that's the audience I was aiming at without being really aware of it. :-)

*OMG*

Wendy was right on (isn't she always?) when she said this is the most incredible video! The clips and scenes fit perfectly, the entire story flows so naturally, and the music is ... well ... I'm off the buy the album!!

Thank you so much for this ... and for including MegaUpload access!!

*Squishy Hugs*

Ooof! Thanks for the hugs and the kind words.

The album is great (all of JB's albums are great!), and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

The Megaupload file was necessary, as for complicated legal reasons, YouTube videos with copyrighted music content are blocked in Germany. And since several fans in this comm are from the Land of the Psychic Cephalopod...

I'm another one who isn't much for songvids, but I loved this! That song is perfect for the two of them - it fits insanely well - and the clips and stills you chose were beautiful and in many cases heartbreaking.

Thank you! The song just astounds me every time I listen to it. I own several of JB's albums, and have loaded them on my Mp3 player. When I listen to his songs, I often evaluate their suitability for a vid. Many of the songs are lovely, but just don't fit the character of Captain Jack. When I heard this song for the first time, I was gobsmacked at how well it fit.

Thanks for the comment!

Incredible!

I loved the Utopia lead-in. That remains my all time favorite Jack/Doctor scene. There was so much chemistry there!

Fabulous editing and picture choice with this. :) Also, the song was perfect for them!

Thanks for sharing!

[lindenharp.livejournal.com]

Yes, that is a great scene. It was hard to cut it down to just the essentials.

Thanks for the kind words!

Here via wendymr -- gotta love recs! This is lovely. Unlike a couple of others commenting, I *love* fanvids, and this one is so good! Thanks for sharing the love!

[lindenharp.livejournal.com]

Thank you! That's reassuring to know. :-)

[dreamiflame.livejournal.com]

Downloading, thanks. You did a lovely job, and the song choice is perfect.

[ana-rpm.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow! This is fantastic! The song is absolutely perfect for them, and the clips were wonderfully chosen to tell their story. It's quite heartbreaking in some parts, but then, that's the way their relationship is. Thanks for sharing.

This was really lovely. What a fabulous choice of music. I love JB's singing <3

[lindenharp.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much!

I love JB's singing, too. In *checks calendar* 66 days I'll get to hear him sing this in person! *grins smugly*
