  (PS - Saw your PM; will respond to it in detail later as I am on my way to a writers' conference (don't laugh - OK, too late) today. Generally, it worked, though, so good job overall. Vowels were mostly correct.)
  
  Bump. I comments. Please comment, if you like it or not! Haha.

  I would pay to see an Ethan vid to 'My Girlfriend, Who Lives in Canada' or a Desmond vid to 'There Is Life Outside Your Apartment' (re. the hatch.)
  
  SO MUCH (MONOPOLY) MONEY.

  No 'If You Were Gay' for me. I'm having a hard enough time with 'Summer Nights' not that I've had a chance to work on it that much.

  So you're not doing something from Avenue Q, too?
  
  SHOCKING.

  Sorry about the Jin song...it just was weird. xD The style I mean. I give up on that one. I'm onto my grease vid. I got about 5 seconds done.

  Wasn't sure if you were asking a question, so! But yeah, I agree with you, so hooray. If you ever need songs (besides Jin, apparently!), lemme know.

  Yes, I understand the thought process. Just puttin my two cents out there. Anyway, wow, are you good at finding songs that match for characters!

  Wow, good song for Locke and Ben. I liked that "Little Man, Big Man" thing, it was really cool for them. You matched all of the lyrics really well for them, especially "The violence in the games we play." Nice vid!

  
  
  Thanks! I figured you would like it - and I think it proves the point about what we were talking about, haha. But I digress...

  Wow, the song fits perfectly! And yes, Ben is creepy, and Michael Emerson rocks! I also thought that you had nice clip choices, tho it seemed to me that there coudl have been some clip changes instead of drawing out a couple of the scenes, but nothing big. I dunno, maybe you did this on purpose, but when it said - "If there was a storm rolled in, Who'd run inside, who'd go walking?" I probably woudl have a scene of Ben walking inside (I believe there was a scene like that), and then Locke out int he rain, for contrast, instead of just Locke for both lines...tho I think you were trying to leave it open for us to decide? I dunno. That was just one thing that struck me, but I thought that it was great.

  
  
  Hee. Thanks. Here was the thought process for why just Locke/just Ben's flashback/mostly Ben and a little Locke/both Ben and Locke equally:
  
  Simply, balance. I didn't want one character overtaking the video and the main way to make it an even split (as the 'soul lost by the road' would have to be Roger and - what's her name, Emily, right? - stranded by the road, as the 'toys' would have to be Ben and his doll, and as 'if there was a storm rolled in' would have to be Locke) was to split it on the verses. If I included Ben in the first verse, that would be too much Ben, as I couldn't fit Locke in with the 'toys' line, or have him being the shooter in the 'violence' verse.
  
  That's why it was just Locke, but you're right in that the line would have seemed less drawn out if it were both. (It also would have seemed less drawn out at the end if I'd cut the clip of Ben looking a little shocked and shaking his head before he asks Locke, 'Why do you let him (Jack) talk to you like that?', as that one goes on for a bit too, but oh well!
  
  I just want more people to see this one, because the lyrics, damn. In my book, you won't find a better song to do a video for both of them, anyway.
