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….

What an extraordinary idea. What a great song. What a wonderful vid!

The blood spatter *alone*...::flails::

The notion of a perfect day is ideal for Willow, because she's always got that sense that everything will work out for the best, that "we're the good guys and therefore everything we do is right" thing that I tried to tap into a little in "Transparent". And then there's the gorgeous Whedonian irony of it. Just...yeah. ::flails some more::

You win at life.

Hi! and ::basks:: It means a great deal that you liked this, I love "Transparent" so much and yes that sense Willow never really gets over, until it's too late, of still being the innocent, the good guy.

I see you're reviewing BSG episodes!
I'd just caught up with the series on DVD as the third season started, it's the first live fandom I've ever been in. Quite a rush.

Oooh, first live fandom! Many are the joys, many are the sorrows. (: Hope you enjoy the rush, though. I know I am. Such a good show! ::clings to it::
