The song remains the same: I'll be good by Jaymes Young
This song is currently one I love to listen to and often find myself singing in random moments.
I first came across it in my quest for a good Flash vid and found this Barry Allen vid:
Now, its a great vid all told. Lovely editing, well put together and as much as I love the song, (which I obviously do), after several rewatches, it doesn't really fit with Barry Allen. It can, and there are times in which it does, but the lyrics lean more towards a person who has previously done bad things and is trying now to be good.
So I went in search of a fandom where it the lyrics are really apt.
My next find was Teen Wolf:
There are most certainly characters in Teen Wolf who are seeking redemption and are trying to be better. I think particularly of Stiles post season 3b and the twins. Even Derek to a degree. The vid is another well edited, put-together vid but is positioned as an ensemble cast vid, i.e. everyone gets a view. On that note, the song doesn't quite fit the whole cast.
I found a multifandom vid:
Now this is a lovely compliation with some great fandom choices, which do fit with the overall theme of the song. Nicely edited, but I am not a fan of the snowfall overlay and I don't like the cover of the song. I prefer Jaymes' original. There are a few more Multifandom versions I need to watch, but so far this I like best (for the multifandom).
Then, to the two who (so far) fit the song best. Bucky Barnes and Matt Murdoc.
The editing on this one is great, and what with the vidder using civil war, the footage/vid quality isn't great, but it really works well. Bucky is truly a character who (through no fault of his own) has done questionable things, but wants to be 'a better man today'.
The daredevil vids contains scenes for all of season 2, so beware if you've haven't finished it. I love this vid. I love the dynamic of Matt&Claire s1 and s2, and this song touches on aspects of both of their characters and relationship.
