Hey again. Thoughts, since they're due:

Opinions on music naturally vary. I find Frank Sinatra the ultimate in cheese, so this had me snickering at the start of it--but I think it held up well in the end. Anything with time-themed lyrics would probably work well for Richard, I think, and so this one does. Good job getting rid of the cheese--and considering Sinatra, that's high praise indeed.

The only bit that sort of took me aback was the line about 'girls' before limousines, and you show Jack and Sayid. OK, so it works for Jack! (Haha, I kid.) But seriously, that was the lone time I stepped back and went 'Wait, what?' Other than that, the lyrics seemed to fit and, despite being fairly slow, the video didn't feel like it dragged or lagged. Well done!

(Still trying to kick zshare into complying, myself... 77% and counting. Stay tuned.
