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….

Date: 2008-03-29 12:32 pm (UTC)I'm not sure why I never put this on the BMVD when it came out - maybe it was already down then, the new version is much improved. Making it was a bit of a journey of Willow discovery for me, there are parts I had planned (mostly to do with the deer) but other parts like the 'Killer In Me' thing that emerged from prolonged battling with the ending. Or the Oz/zoo reference (which I love you for noticing), originally I'd included more of the werewolf arc (because why be subtle), added the scene from the end of WML just because Willow's smile was so shiny and fitted the upturn in the music and only remembered what their conversation was about afterwards.
At 1.11 was that supposed to be S1 Willow being upset by premonitions of what she was going to become later?
I really like that interpretation because it fits with the reaction to Vamp!Willow that precedes it. I don't think I had things so clear in my mind when I was making the vid though. The general idea with that chorus was that having brought Willow from mousy Sears girl to confident sexy vampire hunter I wanted to show the splits emerging between who she used to be and who she was now and how she was beginning to learn new things about herself not all of them good. I mean that was the reasoning behind using various alternate Willow personas in that section but with the "you just keep me hanging on" lyric I think I was thinking more specifically of the sidekick argument she had with Buffy and the determination to reject her old self driving her to ever more magical experiment.
