So I have no explanation for this except I feel like this song was written for Leslie and Ben, and I've been working on this for two weeks ever since I heard it and I just needed tonights episodes to complete it. And now I have, thank god.

This was awesome, and I loved that you already included the most recent episodes. The song is adorable and fits Leslie so well. I especially liked that you included the rest of the cast as well. Very sweet and upbeat video. Great job.

Thanks. When I heard this song all I could think about was how this was Leslie's entire philosophy summed up and I really wanted to integrate her entire world view into it by using the other characters so I'm glad it worked.

It's kind of like they wrote that song about Leslie! It was so cute! Loved it!

Isn't it though? I'd been searching forever for a song that felt like Leslie and when I stumbled on this, I just sat up and went 'oh, oh this is so her'.

I don't believe I've ever been moved to comment on a vid before, but that was AWESOME. So perfect that I'll watch it again. Possibly right now. On its face.

Wow! Thank you, that means a lot. I think this is mostly just me pimping this song because it makes me so happy. I'm just glad the clips went with it.

this song /is/ perfect, and wow, I can't believe you already have the recent episodes in it. That's amazing.

Love it.

Thanks. I actually edited most of it earlier and since the video wound up kind of unintentionally following the arc of Leslie and Ben's relationship since he came to Pawnee I knew that I wanted whatever happened in Road Trip, so I held the spaces at the end for it.

Also I desperately needed a happy Ann Leslie hug that clipped well, so I was really crossing my fingers "The Fight" would deliver (and it totally did). The hallway race was just a delightful unexpected bonus.
