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...

I have no words to describe how much i like this vid...I was like "WOW" after watching it...you're my Vidding Idol

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.

WOW!! This video was amazing along with all your other videos. I don't want to write a long comment because i wanna go back and watch it again. But it was brill

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

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,
