Continuing my first adventure in streaming. We'll see how long things stay up! The download link goes elsewhere and should remain good even if the streaming gets pulled.

Very well done, the streaming worked fine for me, and HOMG the song you chose... Works excellently for the subject at hand.

Thank you both for the vid comment and for the streaming report; right now I'm equally eager to hear about both! :)

I guess I'll be the odd one out and say while I quite enjoyed the video, I thought the contrast of the song with Winchester images was sometimes heartwarming but at other times downright creepy. The sorts of lessons they've all internalized and the lengths to which they'll take things really bring various layers to the vid.

Exactly! The tension between the heartwarming and the creepy in their familial mode is one of the things I find really interesting in the show. The lessons are far from unambiguous and it's what provides so much of the internal drive of the show. And either way it plays out it provides a satisfying emotional twinge.

DAMN! That was AWESOME! It would have been easy to let the song itself do a lot of the heavy lifting in the vid-- it's pretty perfect as a song about the Winchesters-- but the images were just so well selected, timed, and sequenced. The part with the wedding rings especially just about killed me. Super.

:-D Thank you!

I'd been looking for a fandom for this song for a LONG time (well over a decade) and I was delighted when SPN handed itself to me.
