All My Life - Foo Fighters

All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around then it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost

Come down don't you resist
You have such a delicate wrist
And if I give it a twist
Something to hold when I lose my grip
Will I find something in that
To give me just what I need
Another reason to bleed
One by one hidden up my sleeve
One by one hidden up my sleeve

Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down

Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down

Will I find a believer
Another one who believes
Another one to deceive
Over and over down on my knees
If I get any closer
And if you open up wide
And if you let me inside
On and on I've got nothing to hide
On and on I've got nothing to hide

All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around then it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost

And I'm done, done, onto the next one
Done, done and I'm onto the next one
Done, done and I'm onto the next one
Done I'm done and I'm onto the next

Done, done, onto the next one
Done I'm done and I'm onto the next one
Done, done, onto the next one
Done I'm done and I'm onto the next

Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down

Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down

Done, done, onto the next one
Done I'm done and I'm onto the next

Oh, Flo!

I really liked the way you told their stories...how they somehow "lived" parallel lives, without being able to truly meet... always searching for something... missing something...nothing satisfies but I'm getting close...

Until they find each other and we get fireworks... ;-)

Beautiful. ♥

I really loved the story you told here. I have already watched it twice, this is the kind of vid I’ve always wanted to make.

[stultiloquentia.livejournal.com]

The incredible momentum of this got me so caught up that, while I was watching, I expected Angel and Spike to slam into each other and kiss. No, *really*. About halfway through, I snapped out for a second and recalled, "Wait, there's no footage of that. Rats." But I can picture it in my head *so* clearly, after this.

I've happily read and watched plenty of A/S, but that's never happened before.

gah. Gah. GAH!

Hee! Thank you so much, Gio.

nothing satisfies but I'm getting close...

::cries::

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Aww, that is so sweet of you. Thank you so much!

Oh my God, you just made my night. Thank you so much!

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Timmeh and the Lords of the Underworld!

::loves you::

[aurora]

You amaze me.

*adores this vid*

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you.

[missmurchison.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad to see this posted. This was a great vid, and I say it even though I was outbid for you! I had something very different in mind, but this and the L Word vid you did make me feel like instead of getting what I wanted you to make, I got something better. (If that makes any sense at all:)

So. Much. To. Love.

I love when those frozen shots come in, both because they look great and, because I know that the fire shots from China are coming up. And the story is so clear through all of the hotness--it's freakin' amazing.

And them arguing in each other's faces when the song really picks up at the end--genius. Oh, and the flashy switches on the snare sounds--love the shots you juxtapose. And the jump cuts!

Actually, lets make this simple. There isn't anything in here that I don't love like a crazy person. :D

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

That makes perfect sense and awwww, thank you so much! ::hugs you::

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

OMG, I was *so* happy when you told me you liked it at the con [insert retarded squee here].

the story is so clear through all of the hotness

Coolness! Though I would still love it if people only got the porn ;))

The screaming in each other's faces is one of my favorites too - just so much fun to vid. And I'm glad you noticed the particular shorts I juxtaposed, yay!

Thank you. ::gloms!::

BRILL!
About those other comments? Yes, yes and yes.
Perfect song for this.

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! :D

[drc1.livejournal.com]

Luminosity rec'ed your vid in her LJ, and it's absolutely brilliant! Thanks for sharing.:-)

S.

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it. :D

[tinyblondeone.livejournal.com]

Jesus, what an exhilarating ride. Like I've told you before, I'm in total awe of your feel for motion and beat, and you've really opened my mind to new concepts in terms of how a vid should look. And that's so very exciting for me.:D
There is so much electric sexual tension there, and this vid makes me really feel it, moreso than the show actually did. I mean, PHWOAR I just want them to rut around on the floor nekkid after seeing this. The amulet parallels and both sequences leading up to it are the highlights for me. God help me, it was just so romantic.:((:x:x
THIS IS NOT SAM'S CLUB.

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for this. :x:x:x

Aww. But darling, there's no *should* here. Please don't think my style is the right way ;))

I mean, PHWOAR I just want them to rut around on the floor nekkid after seeing this.

Best comment ever ;))

Also - I am such a big sap as well when it comes to these two :">

Thanks again :*:*:* And Sam's Club yay!

[twistinside82.livejournal.com]

Flo! This was so good! I mean ... the parallels yes, and the arguing and the smirking and the fighting and the hotness. Yes, yes, yes, and yes. And all the technical aspects which god I can't even get in to cos my heart is still beating like crazy. So so fab. :X:X:X

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Heart beating like crazy - that was exactly the goal ;)) Thank you, sweetie! :x

[kathyh]

Total stranger here following through from a rec, but I just wanted to say that was amazing. The chemistry between Spike and Angel has always been a wonder to behold and this vid showcased it wonderfully. Thanks.

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Hi there! Thank you so much for watching and letting me know. I'm just a mess of goo when it comes to these two, hee. Glad you enjoyed it. :D
