YES!

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I'm in love with Muse and that song, plus you made Jacket so undeniable and irresistable. I really like how the lyrics matched perfectly with their emotions and feelings and everything.

Great job. I can't wait to see how their relationship develops, especially for vidding purposes.

Thanks so much DS!

I love that song!

That was a struggle... I seriously ran out of clips to use.

That was SO good! The beginning was awesome. I liked the way you matched the clips to the beat use/singers voice.

Very cool

Oh, boy!

Where to start, where to start?

Well, first off:

Yup! Definitely a good point brought up. I loved how you continuously kept changing the clips when the word sung was extended (like "right"). It fit perfectly.

Clip choice was great! My favorites were "life will flash before my eyes" and Jack staring at the TV with just intent was amazing. As was "I want to touch the other side" with Juliet's hand touching the glass. "I refuse to let you go" and Juliet reaching for Jack's hand = awww!! The "I can't get it right" line right after it was particularly well-used in showing Jack's heartache in watching Sarah from his car and Juliet sighing from her burn. It really brought out their despair. The "lonliness be over" too were fantastically used! And finally "no one thinks they are to blame; why can't we see that when we bleed we bleed the same" is such a profound line on Muse's part and you really hit the nail by showing Juliet's remorse over Coleen and Jack's understanding that maybe he and the Others aren't so different after all.

Oh! Props for the instrumental beginning. I know it's so great to listen to the music when you're just listening to a song, but vidding the instrumental part (especially when you lack scenes) is hard. Plus, I really like how you just gave a general overview of the Losties vs. the Others to show the true "trust issues" that are present.

Yeah, I realize this is a very long and pointless post, but Muse is currently my favorite band and this song is probably my favorite off their latest album (well, it's so hard choose, but it's up there among #1 or #2) so I was really excited.

Plus, I was slowly getting into Jack/Juliet, but I am definitely converted now!

I should join that LJ group that Laura4Lad set up!

Okay, so, in short, awesome job!

YES!!!!!!!!

That line is exactly why I chose this song!!! I'm so glad you caught that.

Such a powerful line and my favorite part of the song.

Thank you so much for that long and thoughtful review. You just made my day. And your ability to analyze vids never stops to amaze me.

Oooooh, more Jacket!

Nice job Cinthia!

I particularly loved the ending bit "We all bleed the same" - chilling

Wow, that was really cool!

It's the best Jacket vid I've seen so far!

Apart from the beat use (which is great as usual) I just love how you focused on the lyrics and how you found the right clip for every line. That was really impressive!!

My favourite parts: "We bleed the same" and "I want to touch the other side"... awesome!!

Jacket...

Hehehe, great video, as always Cylune! I love Muse!

I like Jack-Juliet interactions, but not as a couple. MF and EM are great! Jack-Juliet-Benry were my favs in this first 6 episodes...
Anyway, b/c of your amazing video, I think I will be able to handle with Jacket... just for awhile...
