The vid is super awesome! Wow. The pacing, the song, the clips, the River/Doctor dynamic you've captured so beautifully - very, very well done!!

Thanks, i tried and the lyrics just worked so well with the show.

I've had this post open in a tab for... weeks, I think, trying to work out something intelligent to say, but I'm not sure I can manage it. I've lost count of how often I've rewatched this vid, and I only keep loving it more... The song is beautifully perfect (although possibly a touch to fatalistic - yet they're undoubtedly helpless when it comes to each other. Neither would ever take the safe option), and oh, your editing is amazing.

Especially love this part:

We've been lovers and strangers and friends who get angry
Made mistakes and amends and brief moments of magic
We forgive and forget and give in to attraction
This whole thing depends on amnesia and madness

The clips are just so perfect that I'm reduced to helpless flailing.

Oh and the juxtaposition in 0:34 of the Doctor inside the Tessalecta and the Doctor against the doors in AGMGTW? Ridiculously brilliant.

Don't worry, I'm usually just happy to get:I like it. Thought getting something longer always makes me even happier. So thank you.

LOL. fatalistic... It went against the show in that way but the clips kept telling me it would work.

You know that was the lyric set that made me want to do the vid. Amnesia and Madness I thought was totally them.

I think i was making fun of the show a bit on that one.

"I still get chills..." That's how I feel about this vid. It is awesome.
