amazing expression of grief and sorrow and love and friendship
:D :D :D :D :D

has to let go
Lee letting go, surrendering, is what this vid is really ultimately about for me.

He's no longer lost and floundering and at her mercy.
Thank you for seeing that! Or rather: feeling it. :)

in the separate contexts it seems completely different
Yay!!! I don't know how deliberately I tried for that, but it's definitely something which--when you describe it--I'm thrilled is the case. Bascially because I feel the track, the song itself, works that way. There's this powerful intro and we get this impression of a GRAND emotional arc, but then it goes right back to basics and pulls us through in detail, and I know the first time I listened to it, I underestimated how emotional and intimate the actual journey of that would be.

That desktop is very beautiful, and I love your mention of yearning and honour as being key to Lee's character and experience.

It convinced me to go back and watch the show from the beginning, to take the journey with Kara and Lee all over.
I am deeply touched by that. Making the vid was an enormous step in healing some of the pain I harboured about the finale and final season, and it's been a long journey... sharing the vid with others has helped enormously. Thank you for taking so much time to share it through your eyes--it's something I am very very thankful for and will treasure deeply. And thank you for sharing the love of these incredible characters!! In the end, that cycle is too powerful to resist! *G*
