"Island Fairytale" 06-30-2005
Charlie and Claire have the perfect fairytale romance. Admittedly, its a Shane MacGowan fairytale.
Song: Fairytale of New York by The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl

I love this video! It's now one of my favortie C/C ones. The song is great and I loved how you used the clips to fit the lyrics in the song.

LOVE the B&W.
LOVE the diary shot at the end.
LOVE how this is one of the most original C/C videos I've ever seen.

Hee! Thanks, both of you.

I had a ton of fun making this video.

And if you liked the song, then by all means, go check out more Pogues music! Too many people today think that anything older than two years isn't music, and they're missing a lot. All the Pogues' music is awesome, and Shane MacGowan has the voice of an angel. Or had--I haven't listened to any of his newer stuff, and I don't have any idea what all the boozing's done to his voice...

Er. Anyway.

Pogues. Music. Good. Listen.

And thanks yet again for the compliments.

You two made my day.

This certainly was an original take on the C/C romance, which is ALWAYS refreshing. There's always that one 'ship...

The black and white was a lovely touch. It lent the whole video a sweet, nostalgic air. Also, the unusual choice of song really made this one stand out from the others, and that is vital when making a 'ship video, and especially a C/C 'ship in this fandom.

I liked this video. Very nicely done.

Thanks, blind.filmmaker...I know most people probably wouldn't hear "Fairytale of New York" and think "Charlie and Claire", but I love the song (and Shane MacGowan!

) so much, and it really fits them well, at least IMO.

Anway...Thanks!!

LOL! Let me guess, you're a paddy right? I love this song, it's my favorite christmas song because it's about muddling through when everythings gone to hell because at the end of the day you still love one another, a great message. Hey, maybe you could do a vid to "rain street"? "Bless me father I have sinned, iIgot p*ssed and I got pinned, and Lord knows the state I'm in down rain street" LOL! LONG LIVE SHANE MAGOWAN!

IT'S SOMEONE WITH MUSICAL TASTE!

*passes out from the shock*

"Rain Street", eh? That's one I hadn't actually considered for a Lost vid...probably because I don't have the faintest clue how I'd handle "Father McGreer buys an ice cold beer/And a short for Father Loyola/Father Joe's got the clap again/He's drinking Coca-Cola"...*considers*

I do have several other Pogues songs earmarked for music vids, though

...because I'm obsessed. And Shane's my hero, because he's immortal and shall live forever.

Aww, thanks, zandra!

I do have another C/C vid in the works, almost done. It's a really bizarre AU vid, but it is Charlie/Claire.

Is the first line of this song "It's Christmas Eve in the Drunk Tank?" Hehe. Great!
