I feel it all I feel it all
I feel it all I feel it all
The wings are wide the wings are wide
Wild card inside wild card inside

Oh I'll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll be the one to hold the gun

I know more than I knew before
I know more than I knew before
I didn't rest I didn't stop
Did we fight or did we talk

Oh I'll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll be the one to hold the gun

I love you more
I love you more
I don't know what I knew before
But now I know I wanna win the war

No one likes to take a test
Sometimes you know more is less
Put your weight against the door
Kick drum on the basement floor
Stranded in a fog of words
Loved him like a winter bird
On my head the water pours
Gulf stream through the open door
Fly away
Fly away to what you want to make

I feel it all, I feel it all
I feel it all I feel it all
The wings are wide, the wings are wide
Wild card inside, wild card inside

Oh I'll be the one to break my heart
I'll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll end it thought you started it

The truth lies
The truth lied
And lies divide
Lies divide

I liked this a lot! Peggy is a complicated character, but I think you've got a lot of her defining moments here. Seeing it in a vid makes her arc a lot more clear!

I like the song choice, too. It's deceptively up-beat, for the lyrics, which I think captures the tone of Mad Men pretty well (everything's stylish/sophisticated; underneath, everyone is having a really, really shitty time).

[futuransky]

+1 to all of this! I really enjoyed seeing Peggy's complications and choices gathered together.

[mlyn]

Thank you!

[mlyn]

Thanks very much! I wasn't sure about the song for a long time, especially since that the application makes the lyrics mean that Peggy is loving herself/her path in life, and that's a hard thing to get across. I'm glad it worked for you.

Excellent excellent vid. Oh, Peggy, you brave little girl.

[mlyn]

Thank you very much. :)

I Feel It All

[yourlibrarian]

Apt title for her arc, which seems to me to have been more central to the show than Don's.

Re: I Feel It All

[mlyn]

Thank you. Yes, I love that she is one of the most major characters of the show, and has such a dynamic story.

[cold_river_blue]

Wonderful! I think you really *got* Peggy here, and I love the look of the vid as a whole.

[mlyn]

Thank you very much. :)

[franzeska]

Very moving!

[mlyn]

Thanks for watching!

Aspect ratio

[(Anonymous)]

Why are all of these clips in the wrong aspect ratio? They're all vertically compressed!

[goodbyebird]

Oh a Peggy vid! You did great capturing some of her defining moments, and showing her journey throughout the show. Very enjoyable :)

[mlyn]

Thank you very much. :)

[switchbladesis]

I really love the song choice here, and how you captured so many of the great moments in Peggy's arc (also, goddamn this is a pretty show). It's easy to forget exactly how far she travels in only two dozen or so episodes.

[mlyn]

Thank you so much!
