Oh, Jack and Stephen! Lovely. You made me want to rewatch the movie now.

[cienna]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! The movie can never be watched too many times!

[fizzyblogic]

So lovely!

[cienna]

Very glad you liked it!

[franzeska]

Wow. I LOVE the bit on "no man is an island".

OTP OTP OTP

[cienna]

I'm so glad that bit worked for you! :)

I love, love, love this song, and when I saw it had been used for this pairing--well, I might have gasped aloud. And the video is so, so lovely, it matches the warm and melancholy moments of the movie so well. Mmmmm, so much beautiful eye contact...

[cienna]

Thank you so much! I had never heard the song until I started looking for a song for this vid and I was surprised at how well it ended up working.

All the eye contact is extremely beautiful! Must watch the movie again now...

Oh, that's great! I wouldn't have expected the music to work so well with the 19th century feeling of this movie, but it did.

[cienna]

Thank you! I was actually surprised the music worked as well as it did! Especially after seeing the amazing 80s vid that went with the song. XD

[briar_pipe]

Oh, that is brilliant. I never would have suspected that song could work so well for this movie, but you nailed it utterly, especially all of Stephen's faces and Jack's ridiculous puns and, well, all of it really. Kudos!

[cienna]

Thank you so much for your comment! I had actually never heard the song before I heard this one when searching for a good vidding song and I thought it ended up working surprisingly well. Stephen's faces and Jack's puns are just so beautiful!

[thingswithwings]

this was lovely and atmospheric.

[cienna]

Thank you so much! I'm very glad it worked for you! :)

[cienna]

Wow, that really means a lot to me since I know there are a lot of amazing M&C fanvids! Thank you so much for your comment! ♥

I love how you worked with the lyrics here. The "no man is an island" bit made my heart go AWWW.

[cienna]

Thank you! I love how much they need each other and balance each other out!

[rhivolution]

Really beautiful, and bless Stephen.

As a classic rock geek, I appreciate the music choice as well!

[cienna]

Thank you so much! I had never actually heard the song until recently and I thought it worked for them surprisingly well! I was also endlessly amused by the original 80s video. XD

[cienna]

Thank you so much! Their love really is epic!
