New Vid - Rabbit Hearted Girl (Raise It Up)

[ancastar]

I heard this song on the radio back in early fall, while driving to work.  I fell in love with it immediately.  I hadn't heard Florence and the Machine before.  To me, their sound is reminiscent of Kate Bush, with her over-the-top emotion and theatricality.  That kind of thing blends nicely with my own sometimes over-the-top emotion and

Now see, if the entire series was like that, you'd have a fan in a white hot minute or less. Those scenes of those women were absolutely INTENSE, and I especially dug the older female. Yeah, we need more that. :D Great job!!

Based on what I know of you, Ellen would be so your type. :-) She's a badass hunter with a husky voice, an attitude, and a great big heart. If you're interested, this is the women's swan song:

Seriously, this episode had me hiccuping back sobs.

What's particularly moving about the scene linked above is the line where Ellen tells the boys to "kick it in the ass." That was the favorite line of the show's finest director, Kim Manners. A veteran not only of SPN, but of The X-Files, Kim died one year ago today. He remains terribly missed.

Oh MAN!!!!! I wasn't hiccuping back anything. Tears are still rolling down my face. That was fucking *intense*!

I know I'm being the biggest of all pariahs here, but if I only liked the leads better. They're what's keeping me from fanning. But wow. Just wow. Thanks so much for that. What a scene!!

(yeah right there with you with the crying and the BUT THE LEADS)

Oh, that just gave me chills. Oh, Jo! Oh, Ellen! *sob*

Great job and flawless timing. I love it.

[ancastar]

Thank you so much. I'm really glad you liked it.

Fantastic hun! I love the tweaks you made. Nice tight editing and pacing and oh my - my heart is breaking all over again. And yes indeed I sobbed that night as well.

You've captured Ellen and Jo's sacrifice and sacrifices so well. This song will now always belong to Jo and Ellen. You've made it theirs. (Oh and I love that new clip of Jo tied to the post... that whole section really brings home the sacrifice angle so beautifully).

Thanks so much for letting me have a sneak peek. Terrific work.

*hugs*

Thank you so much for all your help with this. And for being so sweet about the neurotic vidder who didn't want to post at the same time as you.

No names, of course. But we know who I'm talking about. ;-)

[ash48]

I don't feel like I did much honey. You had it all going on! But thanks for letting me take a sneak peak. *g*

Congratulations on the terrific response to the vid - you had nothing to worry about!

You really nailed it and I'm thrilled so many people have recognised that!

*mega smish* and again CONGRATS!! :D

This video is amazing. Perfect song choice, perfect editing... I love it. Great work.

[ancastar]

Thank you! I'm so glad it worked for you.

this was so so so amazing.
I discovered Florence + The Machine over the summer and instantly fell in love. the music is absolutely phenominal.

and the fact that you paired it up with the Harvelles is genius.
I've always loved them since s2, and when I found out they were coming back this season, I flipped my shit...
so when they died I cried my eyes out. like the whole mascara running, raccoon eye thing. I was a friggen mess (I haven't cried that much for an spn scene since Dean talking to Sam's dead body in AHBL II)
but anyways, amazing job, and great editing, esp. since there weren't many scenes to use.
adding to faves. ♥

I know what you mean about the crying. I almost hesitate to admit it, but I cried while editing this. The arch of Jo's neck with the blood spraying on it gets me. I just couldn't help myself.

Thanks for the kind words.
