New Vid: Affirmation

[f1renze]

Um, I took a shot at an ensemble vid *is scared*. The song is "Affirmation" by Savage Garden.

Go to our vid page to download.

This vid is my little tribute to how much QaF has affected me. Dedicated to my RL friends Andrea, Jon, and Chris. Your support is invaluable.

Many thanks to my soulmate kitkatbyte, for way too many things to mention. I wouldn't have survived the roller-coaster without you, Wen <333

Affirmation - Savage Garden

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold

I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

Enjoy, and >:D< to you all.

I loved it! It was positively touching and light-hearted and deep all at the same time. Ensemble vids are hard to pull off, but this one worked so well. Your song choice is to be lauded and your clip direction praised.

*big sloppy kiss*

*watches again*

Aww this is one of my favorite videos ever. I love the ones with the whole cast. You made the lyrics fit in perfectly. I think I actually teared up a few times. It's videos like this that make me remember how much I love the show and why my favorite part about it is the ENTIRE cast (which is especially relevant now because I'm getting tired of all the fighting among the fans).

Also your icon? so cute!

P.S. I miss George.

Flo, I'm not exaggerating - this is my favorite QAF vid EVER. Ever. Ever. Ever. I'm a SG freak, but more than that - it just captured the whole gang so effectively, and the words fit so well with the QAF storylines, that it's just the best ever. (did I say that before? :-P) So. Good.

I even came out of LJ exam-study-semi-retirement when I saw that Wendy said that you were insecure about it, because I had to tell you that far from needing to be insecure, this is IMO the best (or if not, then at least one of the best) out there.

Thanks so much!

This is quite possibly my favorite song ever. And it's an ensemble vid!! There are so few. T_T

Watching this vid, I think my heart nearly burst from my loving these characters so much. With their pain and tears and triumphs and happiness and-- I love them so much. <3

I love this show!!

This was a wonderful vid.

Sweet cast vid!! YAY!! Affirmation. Love it!

[otakuraven.livejournal.com]

I have tears in my eyes.

Gawd, I am so pimping this on my journal.

Seriously, SG is my all time favorite band and seeing them with QAF was just breathtaking.

Thank you :)

Oh my god, Flo. I'm bawling. This was amazing. I LOVE ensemble vids. I'm not really a SG fan but this song worked PERFECTLY. I loved loved loved these parts especially: Jen and Debbie doing the best they could, Ben's heart and soul, Justin appreciating real love, everything with Emmett, the adorable Justin/Daphne part, oh and the ending was just wonderful too. I'm still all teary and inocherent, I don't even have words to say how much I loved this. :)) But it was perfect. Thank you so much.

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Wow, thanks so much!

With their pain and tears and triumphs and happiness and--

Yeah, seriously... the song was *so* asking for a roller-coaster ride. I'm glad it worked!

Thanks again :)))

LOL. you can call me Wendy on here. Everyone does... :)

[mbs83.livejournal.com]

okee--thats what I thought. but i dunno...

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, Cait. I'm touched. Really?? Wow, thank you so much!!

I don't really listen to SG, either, but this song pretty much spoon-fed me the plotlines to work with!

And thanks for mentioning the parts you liked. I really appreciate it >:D

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much Nikki!!

And it was a pleasure to share, of course! <333

Yes, really! Watched it twice (but will be watching it many more times to come) - my mom called as I was finishing up watching it for the first time, and I had just been laughing from how perfectly words/music fit together and how much QAF - well - rocks - given how stressed out and upset she knows I've been, she couldn't figure out why I was grinning and cheerful and happy! It put me in such a good mood. I think it'll be my QAF-cheerer-upper for when I'm down - it just showcases such a good range of moments for the cast. And the song, as far as I'm concerned, is a personal affirmation for me, of my values. :D

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Ohmygod, I brought your good mood back after all that stress for you lately! That's almost like, noble or something...

*blinks*

[estella7.livejournal.com]

OMG...so many great scenes! Your love for the show comes shining through. Really fabulous vid!

And George! I saw the actor who plays him just a few minutes ago on E.R. :))

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, Estella! :D

Oh yeah, I forgot to watch E.R. :|

[7sin-hellion.livejournal.com]

OMG. So evil-in a very good way. I'm crying. I love this video. Perfect blend of sad and happy. *gush*

Definitely my new favorite. I'm off to show friends. :)

[nerdanel.livejournal.com]

Yes, because you just rock that much! :) Thanks again :D
