STUNNING Karolina!! I definitely teared up cos I knew I would see Amy and Sophia during the "wake up little girl" parts

And Carol ripping up the cherokee roses seems to be able to break my heart repeatedly

Excellent lyric use, I particularly loved the "just remember who I am" parts with the montage of the ones we've lost and then Andrea shooting Amy

This is definitely my new fave vid of yours!! xxxxx

OH Karolina this is so so good! I had chills the entire time!! For some reason the part that made me the saddest was the scenes of Rick and Shane as friends and then trying to kill each other...its so sad they forgot they loved each other and those lyrics "You're loosing your memory now" just made it 10 times sadder! And of course the scenes of Andrea and her sis were just so sad with this music!!

Great work!!

So wonderful! I love this song and it made your video so awesome because it fits really well with TWD. I got teary eyed when it shows all who died, makes me wish they were still around. I loved your coloring, clip use and the parts were the lyrics fit so perfectly with a scene. Loved it all!

Awww, thank you so much everyone!!! I'm so happy to read all those wonderful comments!! <3<3<3

Kat: Thank you so much, love!!

You know, this is one of those very very rare vids that I'm actually very pleased with (because there's usually always something that I'm not happy about in my vids), so I'm happy to hear that you liked it so much!
Yes, the "little girl" part just had to be about Sophia and Amy and I'm with you on the Cherokee Rose thing. My heart always bleeds when I see Carol ripping them apart

Sophie: Thank you!! I was totally aiming for teary eyes

This song though!!! It keeps breaking my heart over and over again!

Nikki: Oh Gods, yes, Shane & Rick, I know!!! It's sure been one of the saddest parts of the show so far. I'll greatly miss their bromance!
Thank you so much for your comment! <3<3<3

Summer: Thank you so much! Yeah, I know... we have lost so many great characters so far

And so many of them still had a lot of potential. It's gonna get harder and harder know to see someone die on the show *sigh*
I'm glad you enjoyed the vid though! I've been obsessively working on that one for days

The opening part of the song; did you add the echo effect, cause if so...chilling. The opening with 'Losing your memory now' was so incredible; those shots and how you slowed them down was beautiful. This was just such a beautiful video; loved the coloring and the border used here. Perfect song to go along with this vid. I loved that you included the whole cast into this. I also loved the clips you chose for the "I loved you all my life" Lyric ; IE when Morgan tries to shoot his wife and he just can't do it.

WOW 'wake up it's time little girl' perfect. PERFECT SONG if I hadn't said it already.

That was probably the saddest fan video I've ever seen! Definitely the saddest WD one! Andrea raising the gun to Amy's temple on "This is the end" is what really got me. No matter how many times I watch it that moment never gets any less devastating and is why I have endless sympathy and respect for Andrea as a character. I can only imagine how horrifically painful that would be! I also loved how you used the scene of Sophia coming out of the barn for "Wake up, it's time, little girl" and the parts with Jenner and Morgan and their wives and Rick killing Shane. You did a great job of conveying the hopelessness of their situation and how they're doomed to lose everyone they love eventually.

But that emotion is what makes the show so amazing and keeps us coming back for more torture!

That was awesome, Karolina!!! So heartbreaking but so well done!

Brooke: Thanks so much!! No, I didn't have to add the echo effect at the beginning of the song. All I did was put two different versions of the song together, because the one I originally used for the whole vid didn't have that echo intro... I wanted to have it so badly!!

So I snagged it from a different - a bit slower, calmer and less dramatic - version of the song and added it at the beginnig of the song.
Eeeehhhh, anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the vid and I'm happy that you mentioned the "I would've have loved you all my life" parts with Jenner and Morgan because those are my favourite parts, too

Samara: Thank you!!! I was totally aiming for "saddest vid ever"

I don't expect that we'll get to see a lot of happiness on the show but I'm totally with you here: The great cast and the emotions make me come back and torture myself all over again. *sigh* This show!!!

Julia: Thank you!!! I so hope that you will get into the show, too, because I can totally see us fangirling over Daryl & Carol together!!!
