I really do love this. The non-linear nature of it really matches with the lyrics and what Saul's going through and his voice is spot-on.

I love the back and forth, up and down of this. I love the hints of his past lives with Ellen and then the start contrast with the after trail period. It feels so right that he has Bill there to lead him where he needs to go when he's at such a vulnerable, sad point. Well-done...I really like seeing the strong threads of Saul and Ellen's relationship.

Thank you for the lovely comment! I was worried the glimpses of Ellen would leave her a cipher (and I especially hate it when it happens to female characters), so I'm glad to hear the portrayal of their relationship works for you. BTW, that is a lovely icon - yay happy Tighs!
