ETV we had a Secret Santa swap in December. Everyone had such busy holidays we are just getting around to sharing them.
So, look at what my Secret Santa gave me! A Clark/Lois video to an awesome 80's power ballad!! It doesn't get much better than this folks. WOOHOO!!

My comments for my secret santa:
OH.MY.GOSH.
This is so perfect for me, it's like you're in my head Secret Santa!!!
First, 80's rock ballad? PERFECT!! The lyrics? So amazingly perfect!
The coloring, the pacing, the editing, PERFECT!!
LOVE you placing him saying "I'm the blur" to match the lyric "take me as I am". It's the perfect explanation for the lyric and really the foundation of the whole Clark/Lois relationship so it's the perfect starter for the vid.
GUH. The hand holding part still makes me swoon!!
Geez, how perfect (sorry if I'm overusing the word but c'mon!) was the "who knew? i did."
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE :30 when there's the clip of "you & me" with Lois' arm around Clark's shoulders.
Brilliant use of the alternate universe episodes for "every road I take leads to your door"!!!!!!! I never would have thought of that. It was ingenious.
:47-:50 the clips of Clark walking towards her "every step I take forevermore"
"do you love this man? yes" at :56 GUH! Still one of my all-time favorite Clois moments! :yay:
"I can't go on" - all the parts where he looks so lost without her!
"I can't live in a world where you don't love me." < GUH. That line still kills me. Seriously, how romantic is that??!! Thank you so much for including it!!
Wonderful way to capture all their moments of doubt and reassurance during the bridge.
Do you believe a love could run so strong?
Do you believe a love could pass you by?
There was no special one for me
I was the lonely one, you see
But then my heart lost all control
Now you're all that I know
Man, Lois' smile at 1:41 is SO perfect with the flourish of the music as it starts to pick up tempo again. And then Clark grabbing her and kissing her!
OH MAN. 1:51
"Just so we're clear on one thing" BOOM! Big smacking kiss and the light burst was SO wonderful!!!!!! I LOVED it!
"Will you love me for the rest of my life" with the proposal!!!
And then the ending with them kissing. GUH!
I just absolutely ADORE this video. Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you
As soon as the vidder outs themselves I'll be giving them big credit!
