so what do I do with this?

[kaydeefalls]

New episode of Who: eh. Lots of stuff happening, but it didn't really keep me interested until the last ten minutes or so. However, I continue to <3 Rory lots, and am starting to become rather OT3ish about Doctor/Amy/Rory. And also Nasreen is made of win.

Today was my first full, actual day off since February 7th. This is not an exaggeration. So I finished a vid, because Amy Pond is love. :D

I swear that I will someday make a vid that does NOT use a Vienna Teng song, but today is not that day.

LYRICS:

Oh no not now
Please not now
I just settled into the glass half empty
Made myself at home
And so why now
Please not now
I just stopped believing in happy endings
Harbors of my own

But you had to come along, didn't you
Break down the doors, throw open windows
Oh, if you knew just what a fool you have made me

So what do I do with this?

This stray Italian greyhound
These inconvenient fireworks
This ice-cream-covered screaming hyperactive thought
God, I just want to lay down
These colors make my eyes hurt
This feeling calls for everything that I am not

I'm not that kind
I'm so good at shooting down any notion
This tired world could change
It's all been bought
Or at least that was my line
No use in spending all that emotion
When there's someone else to blame

But you had to come along, didn't you
Rev up the crowd, rewrite the rule book
Where do I go when every 'no' turns into 'maybe'

So what do I do with this?

This sudden burst of sunlight
And me with my umbrella
Cross-indexing every weatherman's report
I was ready for the downslide
But not for spring to well up
This feeling calls for everything I can't afford
To know
Is possible now

What do I do
With a love that won't sit still
Or do what it's told
What do I do
With a love that won't sit still

Please not now
Please not now
Please not now
Please not

What do I do
With a love that won't sit still
Or do what it's told
What do I do
With a love that won't sit still

Everything that I am...

Thank you! :D

This is beautiful. I have to go to bed in just a moment, but I wanted to make sure that I at least dropped a short comment in case I forget tomorrow.

So beautiful, and the song! it fits so well with Amy, omg. Wonderful wonderful work as always.

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[pocky_slash.livejournal.com]

Oh man, this song is SO PERFECT for Amy and the vid is just awesome. It made me gleeful in general, but also gleeful for AMY and just... ::hands::

Also, omg, Nasreen, I want her to be a companion ♥ ♥ ♥ I love her so much I LEARNED HER NAME. There are shows I watched for two years whose characters I still don't know the names of, so that's pretty impressive.

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

Oh my gosh NASREEN, she is adorable.

[bunnythenavia.livejournal.com]

Excellent!!!

Love this! The song choice is perfect and the editing is nice and slow in places, but fast at others. Very well done! :D

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[topofthepiano.livejournal.com]

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[grlnamedlucifer.livejournal.com]

I've watched this about ten times since be_themoon's rec and each time it gets better. Really really well done. Love it!

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy it. :D

[beth-soprano.livejournal.com]

♥ This is so beautiful.

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[myfloralbonnet.livejournal.com]

Aaaamy! I love the song choice and the editing. The clip choices are perfect. ♥

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! It's such an Amy song.

[marycontraire.livejournal.com]

This is amazing! The lyrics fit Amy perfectly, and your editing is just lovely. Gah! Excuse me while I watch it a million more times.

::ships like a mad shipper::

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

Also, I love your icon. :D

[nuit-belle.livejournal.com]

This is absolutely lovely. Aww, Amelia Jessica Pond, ILU.

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Amy is indeed AMAZING. Thank you!

[rosa-acicularis.livejournal.com]

Oh, but that was lovely.

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[intrikate88.livejournal.com]

Lovely! Great editing, and there's just so much pretty!

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[insixeighttime.livejournal.com]

this is wonderful. my absolute favorite is :08-:11, the merge of the running. And then again :33-:36, with the apple. All so well done, and I'm usually not a huge vid fan when I don't know the song. But the best praise I can give, I give - this vid made me a fan of the song. :)

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! :D All of Vienna Teng's songs are pretty fantastic, I have to say.

[tardis-stowaway.livejournal.com]

Absolutely lovely! Great pacing, great song choice, great clip matching (inconvenient fireworks FTW!). My fave S5 vid I've seen.


Now, go write your tardis_bigbang fic. :)

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

*sighs* Yes ma'am.

[pathstotread.livejournal.com]

I want to marry this vid, no kidding. First off, that song is one of my absolute favorites (you and Vienna make quite the vidding pair, it seems!) and the editing was just spot on. I really liked that "a love that won't sit still" is mostly the Doctor, but also Rory and Amy herself as she gets used to the Tardis life and what it all means. And I think my favorite bit is "these colors make my eyes hurt" when Amy first sees inside the Tardis. So gorgeous.

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I was trying to make it more Amy/ADVENTURE! rather than a shipper vid, so I'm glad that worked. Also, Vienna Teng songs are all awesome, always. :)

[elisi]

Oh this is wonderful!

Especially loved the imagery used for

This feeling calls for everything that I am. not

And the line 'a love that won't sit still' is just too delightful and spot-on for words. :)

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! This song was just so Amy, I couldn't resist.

[someplacetobe.livejournal.com]

This was great to watch - nicely edited and a good choice of song. Which has made me want to listen to more by this artist!

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Vienna Teng is a pretty fantastic songwriter, check her out. :)

[such_heights]

Oh, that is so, so lovely. <33333333333

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! :D

[msqu.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love this. It's so ... fairy tale fabulous. :)

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Amy/FairyTales FTW, seriously. :D

[tearful-eye.livejournal.com]

oh, that was so lovely!
i especially adored the parts where everything sped up a bit... and all the bb!amy pieces <3 absolutely wonderful.

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[jrsz.livejournal.com]

this is such a lovely vid, wonderful choice of song (and I do love that song now! and her voice :), it suits Amy so well, and i like how you put the similar kinda images together, like Amy watching the TARDIS disappear in VotD and the Eleventh Hour. so beautiful :)

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

[curriejean.livejournal.com]

Absolutely striking. I did not blink. :D

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

Oh my, this vid is everything I love about Amy. I have tears in my eyes right now. Good, happy tears. ♥
