I'm sorry if this post turns out to be short, but it's only cos i'm practically speechless.

The music for starters! Like yourself, I preffer the Oasis one but I do agree that it is a little too upbeat for this sad storyline. I love that blurry/smudges border you have around the clips, it's so pretty and gives the video more effect. And the ending.. GUH. The whole Charlie saying goodbye to Des was hard enough to watch! But you go and put those happy clips in? It killed me. I wept!

Just amazing Cinthia, beautiful. I miss Charlie so much, but hopefully just cos he's off the show doesn't mean there wont be any more vids about him, especially from you

Cinthia ~ you already know how emotional this vid made me. It truly is a beautiful tribute... the first time I watched it on youtube it was the black and white shot of Charlie being hit by the water... just that shot of him and the song the tears just started flowing... oh and the shots from Desmonds POV looking through the glass just break my heart.... I keep thinking of the burden he had to carry with having this knowledge and in the end not being able to do anything about it... and with Charlie's smile ... letting him know it's okay... *omg i'm crying again* ...

awww, thank you so much again Sheree. That black and white part was actually the first clip I included in the vid. I wanted to see if the music would fit well that part before continuing with the Ryan Adams cover... it did and then I knew it was more appropriate than Oasis.

You're so right about Desmond. As if he wasn't tormented enough... *hugs Desmond*

Thank Borislava. That scene of Aaron crying after Charlie's death was so moving...

And yeah, as I am sad about loosing my favorite character, my ship also sank. And it sank without getting barely any screentime this season. We got one little kiss and two hand holding. Barely any dialogue. I thought that the reason why they weren't getting a lot of screentime was because they really wanted them to be there for the long run and they didn't want to overexpose their relationship. I couldn't be more wrong....
They didn't even said 'I love you' to each other... but I guess Charlie dying for her and Aaron speak for itself. I wish we could have seen Claire showing a little more concern though. *sigh* It just feels so unfinished...

This was so unbelievably beautiful. I loved how you kept changing POV throughout the verses (for example, most of it - like "I don't believe anybody feels the way I do about you now" - was Desmond toward Charlie, but then "the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out" was about Charlie toward Desmond) gave the feeling that although the show led on with the point that Des needs to save Charlie, there is also a part of Charlie that begins to understand Desmond and what he does, creating a friendship between them - not just a protector/protected relationship. I also like how Desmond felt it was responsiblity to protect Charlie all along "by now you should've somehow realized what you gotta do" but the main chorus ("maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me") ALWAYS referred to Charlie saving Desmond. I thought it was really cool how you did that because Des felt it his DUTY to save Charlie, but in the chorus, where Charlie saves Des, the singer emphasizes maybe to make Charlie's CHOICE appear all the more noble and heroic.

[I'm not sure if that made sense. I tried to be analytical, but I'm out of school and I'm afraid my analytical skills on also on a break. ]

Um, what else... Oh, I saw on youtube the reason you gave for using this cover version. I don't particularly like this version, but I think you made the right decision! I agree that the Oasis version gives the impression of a happy ending, whereas this doesn't (and shouldn't since a great character dies at the end)!

Lovely work, hon!

Amazing vid. I never really thought of this song in relation to both different POVs but you completely convinced me. Charlie really was Desmond's Wonderwall wasn't he..? Wow, I really hope someone from Lost sees this vid, because I think this may be the epitome of what they were going for when they put in the "Wonderwall" reference. That was a beautiful take on Desmond and Charlie's relationship - I like Desmond so much more after that. Fantastic and touching job!

(And this song is fantastic. Thank you so much for using it - I'm procuring it as we speak.)

[cylune]

Whoa, thanks so much Warren!

[ChicaFrom3]

Absolutely amazing. It made me cry--which actually isn't that hard to do when you're using footage of Charlie's death scene--and it was a gorgeous thematic tying-in of Charlie and Desmond's character arcs, and, and, and ARGH. I have all these wonderful things in my head to say about it, but you've already heard most of it and I can't seem to put the rest of into words.

So I'll leave it at: AMAZING. <3

I feel the same way! Just include the death scene over some sad music and I'm sobbing like a baby.

Thanks so much for the nice comment. I wanted this vid to be extremely canon so I'm glad you thought it tied-in Charlie and Desmond's character arcs. They're my guys. I'm going to vid about them so much that eventually people will get sick of it!
