I Must Be Growing as a Vidder
For the first time in my life I am vidding a song I haven't yet listened to on repeat a thousand times. This song has never found its way into my car. I know the song - I mean, I have to know it in order to vid it, but I've never been obsessed with it.
And it is fairly popular as well. And just - there are so many reasons I shouldn't vid it and yet... the first time I heard it I was all offhand "Oh, this song is all about Angel" and actually I think that about every song and then the song has to prove to me it isn't about Angel and the second time I heard it, I was all "Oh, this song isn't about Angel - it is about everyone else."
And so when I got my S5 discs and felt this rush of wanting to say something about what happened and who it happened to - well, there was that song, sitting in the back of my head, being all interesting and attractive and seductive and making me want to hop into a relationship without even buying me dinner! Hell - we haven't even gone out for drinks yet and we are already flagging down a justice of the peace.
This is just all kinds of weird. Add to it - I think this is the first Angel vid I have ever done that is actively and quite forcefully not about Angel. Even the Lilah vid was about how she beat Angel. Wow.
Oh, and I still can't rewatch Not Fade Away and I am trying my best to delay clipping it.
