Oh. My. God.
That was absolutely amazing! The beginning was very well done.  The song's fantastic as well! I absolutely LOVE Keane!
Amazing. Amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing. Great job!  |

| YAY! Anouther masterpiece from Paul!!! Loved this one! Loved the effects, loved the story, loved the editing. I liked how you showed the corrolations of things Desmond did in his past to his future, like throwing the ring and throwing the stone. Just an amazing vid all around! |

Bah, I feel so strange trying to come up with something to say after seeing your vids dude  . It's like... what's there to comment on that you don't already know? Saying "it's awesome" just doesn't cut it!
How about this then:
I loved it. I am amazed how you can take a well-known song like this and make it seem like it was made to fit to Desmond! Yet you seem to manage this feat with every vid!
*and here's the thing I THOUGHT I would be original in saying, but it appears someone else is already too smart   *
I was particularly impressed by how, right near the beginning, you equated Desmond's throwing of the ring into the ocean with the way he threw rocks into the ocean right at the end of Locke's first ep this season by using the same shots right next to each other. Insightful and brilliant! |

| I'm with Warren, I don't even know what to tell you about your vids anymore! They're always amazing, awesome, outstanding, etc, etc... |

Jen Wow thanks Glad you liked it. I love Keane's last album and I thought this song was perfect for Dessie.
Trey Thanks Trey! I'm glad you liked that part. I think it's cool if you can link scenes from character's past and present just like the show does!
Warren Thanks Warren! I do like it when people notice the small things
Heather thank you 
Borislava a great honor thanks
Oh and there is an easter egg in the video. Bonus points to anyone who spots it! It's humorous.

Meh, Paul, stop making vids! I feel inadequate every time I watch one of your vids.
Seriously though, hon, that rocked!!  The effects and animations are awesome, especially the one with half-naked Des and the flying carpet. Squeee! I so love you and your amazing vidding skills!

Charlie Thanks Charlie! Enjoy
Karolina I'm glad you mentioned that because there is a story behind this. I had planned on doing a Locke video where he was floating around on a cloud to One of Us by Joan Osbourne but that isn't likely to see the light of day anytime soon. I'm glad I got to do someone 'floating around the sky' I love you too

*happy dance*
I hope you'll be able to finish the "One of us" vid. It's such a beautiful song with great lyrics. I'd love to see a Locke vid to that song!

Gosh, that was just so good. So good.
I've become more and more inlove with Desmond videos, and this didn't change my mind to the worse exactly
And this song is just perfect, I had forgotten how good it was. You made it even better when you put it together with Desmondi
Amazing work and a fantastic video. You rock, Paul!! |

Meh... I mean, it was okay...
TOTALLY KIDDING! IT WAS FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC! You're a vidding wizard Paul. You should be knighted! Everyone has already commented on my favourite bits so i'll just agree,

I agree!

I AGREE!!!
Brilliance at its best. One question: How long did it take you to make?
