The drumming at 2:13 is so perfect. I really, really dig the structure, especially the ending when things came together.

Why would you make me cry at 9 in the morning? WHY WOULD YOU? This vid is everything an Almost Famous vid should be. <3

ANONYMOUS, YOU WIN THE AWARD FOR FIRST VID TO MAKE ME CRY. The imagery and way you use the music here is just gorgeous, I love the sense of innocence and discovery at the beginning, the connection with Penny, the sequence with the photos and typewriter as he's telling the story. You just captured an entire coming-of-age arc here and made me feel the whole journey and I feel like I need to rewatch this movie?! (But also like that would be redundant.) <3333

Wow. I'm in complete agreement with the other comments--this is such a beautiful summation of the main arc of the film, and the chorus feels and hits me differently each time it comes around. The song choice is deceptively simple, and I love how you focused on a lot of the little looks and moments in a film that's so crazy.

I don't have words. I loved this so much. This is just everything about Almost Famous.
