Was listening to 'My Immortal' by Evanescence again.

Gaaaaaah. Such a sad sad song. I'm going to start crying soon.

It was a special concert for a local rock stations' 2nd anniversary; they were the first ones I'd heard play BMtL on the radio (not three days after first watching Nos & Merric's vid!).
The band did all loud stuff at the concert-- until I randomly download "My Immortal", I had no idea they'd made anything that slow and beautiful. A loud rock band that also does haunting romantic ballads, innundates their lyrics with talk of Spuffy, and has a cool female lead singer? Oh, I'm going to love them. The way I love Garbage, only maybe more, because I've only heard the Garbage lead singer do a ballad for the James Bond movie (which was pretty cool though).

Now I'm bound and determined to buy their stuff. :)

Garbage ballads.

Ooooh. Slow tracks with Shirley Manson's voice?
Try Thirteen, You Look So Fine, The Trick Is To Keep Breathing, Drive You Home, So Like A Rose, Milk, Cup Of Coffee.
Yes, yes, I am very much a Garbage fan.

I have Thirteen, You Look So Fine, The Trick Is To Keep Breathing, and Milk-- but while I _love_ them to death, those aren't ballads that require a powerful singing voice. In fact, they're usually very breathy and low, with a quiet seductive sound. The World Is Not Enough, however, required more of a vocal range, which is what I meant in the comparison to Evanescence. Both singers have it; you just haven't heard What's-her-name (shirley?) use it much.

Cool. I'd love to hear any comments you have on my video.

first 30 seconds impression:

I'm a sucker for the FFL head-tilt Spike. Hotness!


No back to your regularly scheduled vid...

hm... There are strong parts in your video, though I think overall it doesn't have the same frantic pace that the song does.

I love almost all the clips you chose for the multiple times the we hear the line "Save me from the nothing I've become". I liked the cutting back and forth between ensouling and ressurection, and I loved seeing the quick clip of Buffy & Spike full-making kissing and groping to the line "bid my blood to run".

I liked the clip of Spike screaming in the basement, and I like later the Lessons clips of him in the basement, to the male singer's verse. And

As I was saying... I also liked the part right after that with Buffy's face from BY to the line "I've been asleep a thousand years it seems," because it realy gets that moment of realization, which matches lyric well.

I dont' understand why you chose the next sequence of clips after that, from the Toruk-han to the cross scene, but I do like the soul part again, and the cave and alley scenes from Get It Done.

All in all, a very enjoyable vid!

I used the Turok-han scene and the cross scene because the lyric is "need to open my eyes to everything."

Thanks for all the comments, I hope my explanation above helps you to understand about the Turok-han and cross scene.

Yeah, I get it.
