Wow you did SUCH a great job - and all that research too, I'm so happy right now, I can't tell you.

I really liked the way you used the split screen - it was so effective for those early scenes especially, where you have the voices crying out in the background of the soundtrack like both boys are being haunted by hell - it gives it a trippy, unsettling feel which is just right for when everything is off balance between them.

I need to watch it a few more times - but first impressions, I'm over the moon. Seriously - thank you so much! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Thank you so much dear, I'm thrilled that you liked it! I was *so* happy to receive you as my giftee and
your list of likings and prompts was excellent. The scenes you listed were also very inspiring and a pleasure to work with, I'm only sorry for not including all of them or use your song prompts.

I nearly haven't noticed the screams in the background in the first few listens until I took my mom in my car and the song came on, she was so disturbed by them and now I can't not notice them. They really add to this already painful song.

And thanks so much for reccing it!

I have no words. This is beautiful and kinda sad. Love it so much :)

I really love the split-screen, roughly equivalent clips for each of them, it's very effective. I caught the bridge/wall slam mirroring first season, and have been looking out especially for those moments ever since. It's great to see you use them here. The music is also really effective with the quiet, lyrical verse and the sudden, raucous, hardly contained choruses.

Nice work--thank you for sharing it!

Oh yes, our Show excelled in mirroring the boys actions and journey from very early on. I agree, this song holds so much despair in it with both the lyrics and the musical choices moving effortlessly from very quiet to raw emotions.
Thanks so much for commenting!

WOW. POWERFUL AND INTENSE AND SUPER HEARTBREAKING (you used scenes here I never ever rewatch) AND REALLY REALLY GORGEOUS. We're sooooo lucky to have you, BB ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥

[justmep2]

Oh yes! It was hard to rewatch some of them and distracted me completely. You can't watch things like Sam's death without moving on the AHBL 2, and soon enough I found myself watching entire episodes again instead of working!
Thank you soooo much, hon!
