I’ve always loved this song. It was great to vid because the music builds as if there’s a story but the lyrics don’t seem to insist on a specific narrative. I have to admit that initially the idea of using it for a Willow vid came from the obvious drug connection but I’ve tried to keep that non-explicit. Heroin, love, Tara, magic it’s all the same story really. The one about chasing after happiness, sacrificing innocence and finding there’s a cost. Initialy, I just had Tara pegged for doe-eyed and deer-like but then Wellcome to the Hellmouth was playing and there was Willow caught in the headlights. It all flowed (or mostly trickled) from there.


Feedback is like smack….

Oh my goodness. I'm speechless over the sheer beauty and power of this vid. It's absolutely fantastic. Oh my goodness! The movement of it, the pacing, the way you draw parallels and move seamlessly through the seven seasons' worth of development... oh my lord. Absolutely AMAZING work!

I especially love that final shot there. Wow.

Oh wow. Thank you! Your good opinion means so much (and I'm beginning to sound like a character from a Jane Austen novel). But seriously, from the vidder who amongst other things made me care about Ben. This means a lot.

I'm so happy you liked the ending. I was going to finish with Tara's grave but circularity seemed better and then I found I loved the way the fade made Willow's hand seem to drift away down the river.
