OMG, that was made of awesome!! It amazes me how you can take a song I've heard a million times before and transform it into a story of which I never even dreamed. And what a story! Right from the first moment you grabbed me, and swept me into a dizzying array of clips that were woven perfectly into a dramatic, heartbreaking tale of Clex. By the end I was both breathless and exhilarated! Thank you so much for this! I am in awe of the way you put these works of art together. This vid is nothing short of magical, truly

Wow, thank you. *blushes*

I loved how you matched the lyric of "you don't care if I'm alive or dead" with the scene from Progeny where Clark saves Lex.

I love the way that scene was shot, and the fact that it was an instance (the first?) where Clark hesitated to save Lex made it work perfectly in the context of the lyrics.

I loved the little "tango" you made of the Clex fight from Crimson

That was one of the very first clips I thought of when I set out to make a "dance-y" vid. It worked gorgeously!

And I loved the part where it appeared that Clark and Lex were on opposite sides of the stained glass doors at the mansion, each yearning to just fling those doors open and fall into the other's arms.

Ah, yes! This is one of my favorite constructed bit. I'm such a mushy romantic.

And of course the final moment was fabulous.Thank you! I adore the energy of that shot. It's one of the first clips I laid down. Even when I didn't know what was coming in the middle of the vid, I knew exactly how I

Last night I had to work until really late, and ended up checking my flist after midnight, feeling sorry for myself, and then I saw this! And I thought to myself, if you didn't have all this craziness going on at work right now, you wouldn't have been up this late, and you wouldn't have had the treat of seeing this as soon as it was posted. So, it was destiny! *nods* LOL!

And I've watched it about 10 times now. I can't get enough, and each viewing brings a new detail I notice for the first time. It's truly amazing how much is in there! :)

I think I've told you before how much I adore these sorts of comments. You spoil me!

Just downloaded and watched this vid...you're right the quality is awesome and I wanted to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great work and again I am in awe of your patience and dedication to produce such vids. You depicted the triangle of pain so well and the Clark Lex footage used was especially poignant. Thankyou!

Thank you! I'm so glad you thought so. I tried to highlight all of the Clex angst. There's (not suprisingly, I suppose) a lot of it in the last 2 seasons.

Eeeeee! Absolutely, AWESOME. The quality of the vid was outstanding and I enjoyed it more than I can say. I loved the music you chose and how you perfectly, PERFECTLY, timed the chosen clips. Some of those clips had me literally laughing out loud - Lana trying to pull Clark off Lex? Hysterical :-)

I've watched it five times already and I pick up little nuances with each and ever viewing. What a great way to spend Sunday morning! Thank you!

Oh, yay!!

I couldn't be more pleased with this comment. I was hope, hope, hoping the humor would come through. Clark and Lex crack me up sometimes.

Squee! This is my all-time favorite type of comment. It thrills me when people say they enjoy re-watching something I made. Thank you!

Your vids are so addictive; I've already watched this vid 5x and am sure it'll be on loop all Sunday.

A few specifics before I collapse from sheer exhaustion -

I love the little intro bit with the black and white footage and how you worked the credits in there. I loved the use of Lana which was surprising because I usually have a hard time with Lana being used in vids solely to prop Clex up or for comedic value, but here she totally rocked. And I really, really loved the energy and movement from 1:12 to 1:22 as Clex dance. Seriously, wonderful stuff, Jerice!

These words are like gold to a vidder. I LOVE YOU.

Thanks, I had a lot of fun with the intro. It was the whole key into the song. Once I had the black and white section figured out, everything just fell into place.

I loved the use of Lana which was surprising because I usually have a hard time with Lana being used in vids solely to prop Clex up or for comedic value, but here she totally rocked.

I am so SO glad you said that. I really didn't want to make this vid about the Lana-bashing. It is simply not her fault that she is caught between these two madmen, and I wanted to show her as strong and beautiful.

And I really, really loved the energy and movement from 1:12 to 1:22 as Clex dance.

YAY! That was my main goal in this vid--and it seems like in most of my recent vids--I want the characters to danceTHANK YOU for the
