Gorgeous. Just gorgeous.

The music is perfect. I mean... the lyrics are perfect too, but the musicality of this is what strikes me most: the colors and the light and the weather.

Oh, this was lovely. I agree with the comment above, the music fit so well!

Oh vidder, thank you thank you thank you! This is gorgeous. Amazingly perfect music, and you drew out the romanticism in the movie that everyone knows is there. Fantastic work putting it all together. This is absolutely perfect Jack-and-Stephen as well as Jack/Stephen. Thank you so much!

Oh, BEAUTIFUL. I rewatched this film just a couple of days ago and this is such a lovely bookend to have. Whether you ship it romantically or platonically, there's no denying the love there and you brought it out perfectly.

Oh, that is just lovely--it really moved me. Now I want to rewatch this movie.

Oh, wow, I love this! Such a sweet, slow vid; it's as rhythmic as a long voyage, and the music rises and falls with the ship - amazing.

Beautiful! Lovely song, new to me.

This is gorgeous! (And hee! I love that you got the weevils in there!) It struck me very much that Stephen represents not just love but civilisation for Jack, and that Jack needs that to keep himself whole. Beautifully realised and romantic. <3 <3 <3
