Being the huge Sarah fan I am, I immediately downloaded this video :) Nice choice of song, btw.

I liked your transitions between scenes and also your lyric to clip was really good. Nice job!

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! This is one of my favorite Sarah songs, and I've always wondered why it never got more recognition. It's so full of emotion and so beautiful.

Excellent video, I love the song choice that you used for this vid. It definetly suited LoV/Lily. Awesome job. I really loved how you had a lot of like flashes with the Lily scenes, and how it all tied to LoVe. Again awesome job.

Thanks! I really think this song was perfectly suited to show V's struggle with falling for Logan, with the memory of Lilly always there and the guilt it brought for her. I'm actually kinda surprised that the Logan/Lilly relationship wasn't as much of a factor for V. Sure, Logan brought it up in Hot Dogs, and V made mention of him as "her dead best friend's boyfriend", but other than that, nada. I always thought it was a little weird.

Oh god. This was poignantly beautiful. Your scene clip selections were perfect; you had a clear story arc, and delivered it with emotional power. I love this video. You are amazing.

Wow, thank you so much, and I'm so happy you liked it! I really wanted to show the heaviness of V slowly falling for Logan, holding back because of her guilt concerning Lilly and feeling that maybe Logan hadn't fully reconciled himself to her death, but finally allowing herself to give in and "not fear love" once it seemed that Logan had finally gotten his closure and v's guilt became overshadowed by her affection for Logan. Anyway, lol, thanks you so much for the compliments! They really mean a lot.

That was really amazing. I'm a big Sarah fan and the song choice was great. I loved how you developed the L/V relationship, but also brought Lilly in and how her memory does (or could) affect their relationship.

Thank you so much. Seriously, I'm a little surprised that Lilly wasn't as much a factor in their relationship as she could have been. I guess the writers decided they already had enough sh*t to deal with with these two that to add Lilly on top of it might be overload lol.
