Yay first to comment!

That was really nice! There was a great sense of angst and sadness running through that whole vid. I think the only thing that let it down was the fact that i couldn't make out the lyrics to the song

Even so, you did a great job on that.

This is a really good vid. I didn't like the fact it was an ensemble vid though. I thought it didn't fit to the contest too well for this reason. Keeping to the one pairing was probably the best idea for this contest imo. Lovely song choice though. Congrats on placing.

Thanks for your comments guys!
Paul, I wanted to participate in that contest because I love this song, but I gotta admit that I wasn't really motivated when I did this vid. This is, by far, not my best vid.
My submission to the contest will be much better, I promise

And Ed, here are the lyrics, extra for you:

Understand the things I say, don't turn away from me,
'Cause I've spent half my life out there, you wouldn't disagree.
Do you see me? Do you see? Do you like me?
Do you like me standing there? Do you notice?
Do you know? Do you see me? Do you see me?
Does anyone care?

Unhappiness where's when I was young,
And we didn't give a damn,
'Cause we were raised,
To see life as fun and take it if we can.
My mother, my mother,
She hold me, she hold me, when I was out there.
My father, my father,
He liked me, oh, he liked me. Does anyone care?

Understand what I've become, it wasn't my design.
And people ev'rywhere think, something better than I am.
But I miss you, I miss, 'cause I liked it,
'Cause I liked it, when I was out there. Do you know this?
Do you know you did not find me. You did not find.
Does anyone care?

Unhappiness where's when I was young,
And we didn't give a damn,
'Cause we were raised,
To see life as fun and take it if we can.
My mother, my mother,
She hold me, she hold me, when I was out there.
My father, my father,
He liked me, oh, he liked me.

Does anyone care?...

I love The Cranberries...that was very touching! I don't think you missed anyone's relative!

That was really good, I thought it was good that you included Roussea (however you spell it

) and Alex. Wasn't expecting that! Really good vid!

Thanks guys! Glad you liked it!

I actually did. I forgot to include Boone's mom/Shannon's stepmother. She would've been a great example for a rather bad kid/parent relationship. Well, never mind...

Wow... that was amazing.

You never cease to make totally awesome videos, do you? I loved it!

It was really touching to add everyone's parents and children. Great even without Shannon's mom.
