That was glorious, and bittersweet, and absolutely lovely. I'm off to watch it again!

[celamity]

That was so lovely, and you picked the perfect bit of music for it :)

I loved this. Very sensitively edited, beautiful clip choices, and a song that works perfectly. I'm all nostalgic for the show now. (:

Reccing it...

OH. MY!

A new B5 vid! And such an awesome one. Now I'm nostalgic, too, for one of my most favorite shows ever. You done it justice, there.

This is utterly lovely. Perfect song choice, if not at all obvious, and the pacing of your cutting matches the song and subject so well.

Thank you.

I really enjoyed that! And now I'm all nostalgic.

[gelliaclodiana]

This was lovely! I'm particularly impressed by how you made the song choice work so well (it seems to me that slower songs must be harder to vid to -- to keep a sense of motion, I guess). I feel nostalgic now, too.

God. God. That was beautiful.

(B5 was the show that made me a fan of anything ever; to see that feeling that made me fall in love captured so perfectly here makes something in my heart seize with joy.)

Here via eisen. That was lovely! Now I would like to go watch the show again, heh...

That was great! I need to do a rewatch one of these months…

[minoanmiss]

Oh AMEN. Thank you for this!

[laura47]

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I whimped! It was lovely!

[j_quadrifrons]

Oh my god, I just got to this page from a rec and I saw your song choice and I love you already. <3 I will probably love you even more when I actually watch the vid, but I don't know when that will be, so I am telling you now. LOVE.

Gorgeous, bittersweet nostalgia pie. ♥

I already commented on LJ last month, but saw this again being recced, and came here to DW to tell you again, this is soooooooooo wonderful!!
the song, the clips, the way it totally tuned me in again in what i felt for B5.....
sighs.
if I could just turn back the wheels of time to get there again......

thank you so much again for this wonderful vid!

Very lovely. One of these days all your vids and fan fictions is going to make me give in and rewatch the damn series. ;)

[kungfuwaynewho.livejournal.com]

Really just lovely. You know, it struck me watching it this time how often space porn is cut to action-y, quick beat music, but how well it works set to something like this, really melodic and contemplative. I wish I could be more articulate than that, heh; I'm not exactly sure what point I'm making.

[ender24]

gods, you nearly had me crying, the song ......
made me feel so much, and so nostalgic, and gods, how much do I miss delenn and sheridan???!!
and the rest of the crew of B5....
I wish, I could be 12 again, and watch the entire sage and those 5 seasons with that kind of sense of wonder again..

This is just beautiful. It took me a couple of days to get around to, but it was worth the wait.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Okay... this vid makes me gloriously wibbly and happy. ♥ So pretty! So many perfect moments of music and image combining! Such a perfect little love-letter to the show (and such a good way of reminding me how very much I love it).

Beautiful work. Just beautiful.

[diarmi.livejournal.com]

I like it very, very much! Great work!!!

[ghanimasun]

Beautiful video. The music paired nicely with the scenes you chose and the way you ordered them.

[oltha_heri.livejournal.com]

Oh my god. I LOVE THIS. It makes me want to rewatch all of my DVDs BECAUSE I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH. And I love the sense of community it has that you captured here. And just, love. :D

Very lovely. I really love the song and the unhurried editing makes it all a very sweet and nostalgic. Good job! Also I am in the middle of a Babylon 5 re-watch =)
