Thanks so much, Shadow. :heart:

I spent quite a bit of time before I even started this vid contemplating which couple to feature. I had originally planned for this to be a MickCora vid only but then I got the idea of combining both couples and have it be a kind of dark and light thing showing the differences between the two women and their relationship with Mick. I was really pleased with how it turned out, especially the overlays, as I've been killing myself trying to figure them out properly. :snicker:

It really is brilliant. I love the way you've used the elements of the dark and the light - and the ways they both seduce Mick - and fit it all with the song. (Fascinating how beautifully Red's quote fits with this video too.) I had often thought of using this song for a vid but had never come up with a story that worked - kudos to you for finding the way so perfectly! :thud:

coco, I love the way you used this song, with its echoing lines, to echo the differing, yet strikingly parallel, relationships Mick has with the two most important women in his life. I don't know anything about the technical aspects of filmmaking, but I am always so impressed with the way you cut the scenes to match the music so well. And the ethereal, eerie quality of this song is just perfect for the kind of intercut shots you did--once again, a visual representation of the echoing phrasing in the song.

This is really a remarkable video!

Thanks, Alle. :flowers:

This was definitely a song that was better used as an MBC vid than as a couple vid which was my original intention. :ysmile:

I got a lovely comment from someone on YT the other day and it made me giggle.

"This vid is really good, and the song is beautiful. I don't know why it hasn't had more ratings. Maybe because Coraline's in it?"

Now my vids don't get a lot of views on YT anyway so I don't think much of it but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to reply and say something about Coraline being in it? :snicker:

I love the clips you used for this song. You find the most striking scenes especially for Coraline
