Notes: Something very straight forward and simple, I've had this song on my list since I bought the Vienna Teng album back in 2009. I guess that i've just not been in the right frame of mind to make a relationship vid until now. This one is more of a relationship with Angel, Cordelia and baby Connor - a brief moment in time where Angel seemed to get a break. I have at least three more songs that are relationship bunnies and I'd like to tackle those later this year inbetween other projects. Lyrics are here. Feedback is always appreciated.

Oh, wow! I loved this! So beautiful, I loved how it flowed with the music.
I've been watching AtS S4 these days and I sympathize with Angel so much.

I was thinking of making an Angel appreciation post in my journal would you mind me linking to this post, if I do?

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. I would love it if you linked to the vid - that would make me very happy!

Oh, the music/lyrics choice, so perfect, so touching! (Vienna Teng! ♥)
Love the bridge sequence circa 1:30-1:41. Aw, the different Cordys lying down on a bed break my heart...
And the Cordy&Angel&Connor sequence circa 2:04-2:15! :)
The Connor-less, color-less scenes also break my heart... Sigh...

Thank you so much for the feedback, it's good to hear how viewers feel about parts of the vid. I'm glad you were moved and sorry for the heart break.

And definitely - Vienna Teng is wonderful, this song always triggered these scenes, so I did have to get it out of my system.

thank you

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

thanks :)

It's so beautiful. You've procecced the original visuals and imparted them with ethereal, whimsical, dreamlike quality. The vid works as an exquisite dream about the impossible. It's so sad and poignant that I want to hug Angel and Cordy and Connor... *le sigh*

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. It's been a while since I made this sort of vid so I felt a little rusty - but it looks from your comment as if much of the emotion I wanted to express has come across as I intended.

Yes lots of AtS makes me want to *sigh* but especially this brief arc of 'almost happiness/deepest sadness'.

[chorelle.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh this is so beautiful. My problem is every time I see Angel holding up the 'Connor' Hockey jersey I burst into tears. So naturally I'm crying now... But this is so beautifully put together and lovely. Thank you so much for sharing.

BTW I have just started an AtS tumblr and was wondering if you would mind me recc'ing this vid? It's too gorgeous to not tell everyone about =D

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

So sorry to make you cry but I understand entirely. The whole arc is heartbreaking but I really felt the need to make this. I'm delighted you thought it beautiful, Vienna Teng's song is so wonderful so much(most ) credit to her.

I would be very happy for this to be rec'd. I love to share :)

[chorelle.livejournal.com]

Oh I mean, it's the good kind of crying but still! The song is absolutely perfection, hauntingly beautiful (and god doesn't that sound cheesy =D) But the editing is sublime too so lots of kudos goes to you!

And awesome! It will be on angelinvestigations.tumblr.com if you want to check it out =P

Oh also, would you prefer just a link to this page, or can I post the embedded video/password?

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the link, that's a very interesting tumblr site (tumblr confuses me a little, but it all looked very pretty).

Feel free to embed the vid or if you'd prefer a non password copy here's the youtube one

[chorelle.livejournal.com]

Aww thank you, I only started it about a week ago, but I am glad to know you think it looks okay, and tumblr is not so bad once you get the hang of it!

Thank you for the youtube link, that's great, and I'll still put a link to this page too! I just love to share great AtS art, hence the new tumblr and asking people if I can rec their stuff =D

Beautifully done. It felt like a ballet.

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Thank you - I appreciate the feedback

[lynnenne]

This is beautifully done. I agree with the poster above who said it felt like a ballet, and I think choosing a song in 3/4 time really added to that. So sweet and yet so sad at the same time.

And baby Connor is always love. <3

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It is such a beautiful song and I always thought Angel & Cordy's training scenes were very balletic so, what with the clips from WITW I couldn't help but put it all in there.

And baby Connor was the cutest thing.

[lytab5.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for sharing!
This is beautiful! ♥

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

I love to share :) and thanks for the feedback.

[leviathan101.livejournal.com]

Oh, I loved this!! Beautiful song and piano, and I loved your flowing Angel/Cordy scenes. It was all very touching. I miss the two now!

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Thanks Lev. The song is gorgeous isn't it? And I thought of you when he holds up the 'Connor' shirt ;-)

[leviathan101.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, the Connor shirt! Loved that scene and was nicely reminded about it when it came up in your vid. I was really touched when he chose that name AND spelled it right. I adore Angel's sweet happiness about his son in those eps. *g*

ETA: OH, and it's so awesome that you still watch Thrown Away! Those were the days...

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

I get miffed when i see it spelled 'Conner' :-(

As for Thrown Away - I was going through my favourites over at Vidders as they have changed the rating system and couldn't resist watching it again. It's a perfect combination of superb editing, great song and awesome character.

Yep I hope you'll find time/inspiration to vid again soon? *flutters eyelashes at Lev*

[streussal.livejournal.com]

...well now I'm sad.

Lovely work.

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

I guess it worked then, if it made you sad. Thanks for the feedback though and sorry about the sadness.

[lynnenne]

*bursts into tears*

So delicate and beautiful and heartbreaking. Wonderful vid.

Thank you very much :)
