The colouring and glow effects looked really pretty. I really liked the AU Nadia and Sayid scene off the island that was really good. Also the sexy Sayid angst with torture and all that worked really well with the lyrics of the song.
The editing was just great but I have to say do you have a problem with Sayid and Shannon? I love that couple it's a shame you never used them. Bad Karolina Great vid though! _________________
That was gorgeous! The coloring, the editing, it was all amazing. I really love how you did Ana-Lucia instead of Shannon. It just made the vid much more unique and creative. _________________

Trey: Thanks so much for commenting, Trey!! Yeah, it is a pretty "main-streamy" song, but I tried two other songs for Sayid before I found this one, but I just couldn't get them to work for him. I was quite happy that this song was coming so easily and naturally because I've been wanting to make a Sayid vid so badly.
By the way, you mentioned some time ago that you'd like to make a Sayid vid, too. Do you have any further plans on that?
You know, i actually dont. hmmm i do need to keep looking though. I think id like to do more of a cool kind of Bad ass one for Sayid. This vid is excellent though!!!

I love this song! I've seen it used before, but definitely not as successfully as this! The editing was amazing, and the beat use was fantastical! I throughly enjoyed it, and I am not one to watch Sayid videos. Excellent job!

Paul: Thanks a lot for your great comment, Paul!! I'm glad you enjoyed it! (And I have to agree that Sayid angst is totally sexy )

I'm absolutely fine with Shannon by herself or with Boone, but I never really understood that Sayid/Shannon hookup. They didn't have much of a chemistry, in my opinion, and I simply never liked them as a couple, but that's just me...
Mikey: Thank you so much for your comment! I'm glad you liked the editing, colouring and the Ana Lucia part. I like to bring her back in my vids every once in a life because she's still one of my favourite characters.
Thanks again for commenting!
Meli: Thanks a lot for commenting! I'm glad you liked the vid and the song choice. I was hoping the song would work for sayid, even though it's sung by a woman. Thanks again!!
Evangeline: Thanks so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I totally agree with you; there should be more Sayid episodes. I ope that we'll get to see a Sayid flash forward in the new season *fingers crossed*
Thanks again!
Trey: Oooohhhh, a bad-assy Sayid vid would be pure awesomeness! I'll keep my eyes (...and ears... ) open for you. If I find a good song, I'll let you know right away.
Jourdan: Thanks so much for commenting, hon! I'm glad you enjoyed it, even though you're not really a Sayid fan. That's a huge compliment! And yeah, the song is used a lot in fan vids, huh? I've seen a few Skate and Jate vids to this song, but no Sayid vids yet, luckily. Thanks again!!
Heather: Thank you so much, Heather! *hugs* I soo agree with you... for some reason, Sayid vids are difficult to make. I think a huge part of the problem is finding a good song. If you ever need a song for a Sayid vid, just give me a yell... I know a few now. _________________
Fantabulous, like all of your vids! That is a mainstream song? LOL maybe that's why I've never heard it; I was never good at following mainstream music. It fits Sayid really well! _________________ LIVE TOGETHER DIE ALONE

Even though I can't stand this song (the singer's voice really irks me for some reason), you really made the most of the song and vid, Karolina! I loved the colors and beat use. But I especially loved your manips! I loved Nadia standing in the rain. Very clever. And Sayid touching Ana-Lucia's hair. Very believable manips!
And I really liked the influence Essam (the friend from "The Greater Good") had in this vid as well as all the other acts from Sayid's past. I like how you threw in so much canon, so it'd actually be easier to accept the Ana-Lucia/Sayid AU aspect.
Aww great vid Karolina! Poor Sayid doesn't get many does he?
Great song choice, I love it more everytime I hear it, and it was perfect for Sayid here. I particularly liked the part "Ouch I have lost myself again" and Sayid went back to his torturing ways!
And I'm glad you used Ana, I never had anything against Shannon/Sayid and some parts of there relationship were kinda cute but they were never a knock your socks off great ship. And if Ana had have lived I would totally have shipped them!
All the effects and everything else worked perfectly too!
Nice work!

Cassie: Thank you so much! Yes, I guess the song is kinda mainstreamy. I'm not that much of a mainstream fan myself, but I usually simply go by whether the song fits a certain character/couple. I'm glad you thought the song worked well for Sayid. Thanks again for commenting!!
Maria: Thank you so much, hon! I'm glad you enjoyed it, even though you don't like the song much. Altghough I quite like this song, I have to agree with what you said about the singer's voice. She doesn't really have the most beautiful voice in the world...
However, I struggled so much with the other two songs I had picked for Sayid so that I was very happy when I found this song here. Vidding to this song was so easy, it was really quite unbelievable.
And thank you for commenting on the manips. I'm still quite a newbie when it comes to masking and I think that my effects still look a bit weird, but I'm very, very happy to hear that you liked them.
Oh, and I just had to put Essam in because I believe that his suicide must've had a huge influence and impact on Sayid.
Ashleigh: Thank you so much, Ash!! I'm glad you liked the Ana/Sayid parts. Although I never really had anything against Sayid/Shannon as such, their relationship always felt so random to me. I could never really get used to it. I would've liked to see some more Ana/Sayid moments on the show, especially after the great scene when they're sitting at the fire by night and she confessed to him that she's always had trouble with getting along with other people. That was such a great moment.
Oh, and I agree with you: There should definitely be more Sayid vids, huh?
Thanks again for commenting!! *hugs* _________________

Thank you so much, Emily! You're so sweet!!
I'm very happy that you mentioned the colouring because that's the part that takes most time, at least for me, and it can be so annoying. I then keep asking myself "Why am I doing this to myself?", but when I get comments like this, I know it's so worth it. Thank you so much!! *hugs*

Wohooo!!! I'm glad that you're officially addicted now because this means you'll be around more often, huh? That's great because you're a lovely person and it's fun to talk to you. I hope you'll enjoy your time here at the LVI! _________________

And with my "better late than never" comment at last... So sorry it took me so long to get here!
What a beautiful Sayid character study! I happen to have always loved this song for some reason! I never thought of it as Sayid song but now it makes perfect sense! *applause* I love it when that happens!
The coloring was just beautiful and I loved all of the manips (like when Sayid reaches out and seems to touch Ana's face ). I really loved the moment at 1:58 on the line "I feel...unsafe" and Sayid just sighs right on cue! *more applause*
