Read the lyrics

I've said it before, but it bears repeating: galumping great thanks to elynross, halimede and both halves of flummery for beta-ing and to sockkpuppett for teaching me how to mess with motion settings and track mattes at the very last minute. You all rock.

Should you have any trouble playing the vid, I have outlined some solutions on my vids page.

I would love to know what you think, and that includes critical feedback, here or at marycrawford@squidge.org .

I'll probably do a post about the making of this vid later, once I have recovered from Saturday's fantastic family wedding.

What I need are cheery Labyrinth icons - mine are angsty and/or snarky instead of 'yay feedback!'. Sadly I didn't make them, or I would say you could borrow them all. *g*

how it's bouncy and lighthearted and yet kind of wistful as well

Oh, I'm so happy you took that from it. When listening to the song on endless repeat, I was struck by how relentlessly upbeat the music is, and the lyrics, but how there's this other, more desperate thread running through the song, and I wanted to use both those flavors in the vid. If that makes any sense.

Thank you very much for the lovely feedback!
