This was previously on the site, but it hada broken link. We voted once again to see if it should be on, and guess what? great job on it. it really does deserve to be on here.
My first impressions:
"I thought it was great. The only scenes I could see that werent cut for a long time were there for a reason because they fit the music beat still. And the scenes, especially at the beginning, fit the lyrics really pleasurably. Granted, it did go a little long, but that was just the song. I thouroughly enjoyed it..."

It's so rare to find a vid done to a Matt Good (Band) song, but this one was great! It's weird because I was thinking of doing a vid with this song, but for Sark from Alias.

Anyway, I really enjoyed it, and the song really fit as well. I especially liked the ending and how well it went. Good job

[Ringwench]

Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you! Funny you should say that, the other vid I just submitted to the site (which I'm crossing my fingers that it'll be good enough to make it on!) is ALSO to a Matt Good song. I have another one I'm considering doing as well if I can make it work (problem with using Matt's music for vids is that sometimes he puts in lyrics that just don't make any freakin sense within the context of the rest of the song!). But yeah, you could say I'm a tad obsessed with his music!

And Hobbes, I'm glad the longer clips didn't cause you to reject my vid! I ususally try to stay away from longer clips but some of these just fit. I'm glad you liked it

I'm the same way usually long clips are a video death warrant, but sometimes they can be done really well, like this

Might as well just say what i said in the council-LOVED the religious imagery in the middle of the video--and considering i'm jewish i think that counts twice LOL. Thought this video was wonderful-laura

I know, his lyrics can be soooo out there. Like the beginning is fine, and then it goes crazy, so it's really hard to do a vid to it

Hee, me too.

Excellent pairing of lyrics with clips. The transition into Charlie playing onstage to the guitar solo at 2:51 was the high point of the vid for me. If Charlie was American Indian he would be after you for stealing his soul and putting it into your vid. The title effect at the end was really cool too.

Thanks so much for sharing this!
