Vid: "West of the Moon and East of the Sun" [B5, Sheridan/Delenn]

[icepixie]

One day I'm going to finish fiddling with my big B5 ensemble vid. For now, a shorter, sadder one that walked up to me and demanded to be made.

Title: West of the Moon and East of the Sun
Song/Artist: "A Good Day (Morning Song)," Priscilla Ahn
Summary: John Sheridan was an optimist to the very end. Based largely around "Sleeping in Light."
Length: 2:37
Note: Given how many similarities B5 bears to LOTR, I felt it only right that I get the title from Return of the King. The full quotation is, "A day will come at last when I / Shall take the hidden paths that run / West of the Moon, East of the Sun."

This is completely beautiful. And it made me weep.

I should have known. I can never watch Sleeping in Light without crying. It's somehow comforting to know B5 still has the power to move me, and your vid taps into the best of the show.

Nothing much to say except "Wow, well done." I haven't watched B5 in years and yet it still made me remember all of the... angst isn't really the right term, but that's the closest I can think of right now - of the last episode. Seriously, I don't care if a person dies, it's the memorials and seeing how everyone *else* reacts to them being gone that usually gets me. This video really captured that feeling.

I must now go watch something fluffy to cheer me up, though. Thanks a lot. :p~~~~~

For someone who claims not to like this pairing, that was sure one very pretty vid! Lovely all around.

(P.S. I have not forgotten about your other one - I promise!)

You just hadta include the pillow hug.

*cries forever*

Seriously, though, this was gorgeous. Thanks for venturing over to the dark side for a bit and sharing. :)

Lovely and bittersweet. Thanks for sharing.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

♥♥♥

I love the choice of shots you used here, and the way they work so perfectly with the music, and, yes, the pillow thing and the bench thing and AUGH. "Sleeping in Light" annoys me sometimes with how totally over the top it is, but all the bits you included are just so perfect and lovely.

Oh, I love it so much! It's so hard to find good Sheridan/Delenn vids,and generally Babylon 5 vids, since it's (and I'm saying it with all my love for this show) not exactly vidding friendly. And this one is beautiful. It touched me how you captured Delenn's loneliness after he's gone. Thank you for making this vid!

Thanks to Diar I saw this beautiful, bittersweet vid and I'm so glad to have had this opportunity.

I love B5 with all my heart and there are not enough vids about it, at least not many with this intensity of feelings.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

what a perfect song for them, and especially for the last episode.
you brought back so many happy and bittersweet memories from my teenage years of watching b5!
