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….

This vid gave me chills. You absolutely *nailed* Willow, and I love the way you showed that Willow has *always* been creepy as fuck--that stuff didn't just appear out of nowhere at the beginning of season six. The instrumental where you intercut the scenes of Tara's death, Buffy's resurecction and the death of the fawn was absolute genius. I'm definitely reccing this to anyone I talk to.

Thank you! Creepy Willow definitely and Alyson Hannigan gives such good creep-face (although she was so cute when she was humble). Speaking of creepy, I really enjoyed making that killing Tara section, I'm so glad it worked. Some great imagery to play with and the music almost seemed to do it for me.
