Lyrics
How does it feel, runnin' around, 'round, 'round?
How does it feel, watching from upside down?
'Cause many years from now there will be new sensations
And new temptations, how does it feel?

How does it feel, right at the start?
And how does it feel, when you are thrown apart?
Cause many years from now there will be new elations
And new frustrations, how does it feel? Oh, oh, oh

Do you know, know, know what it's like
To be searchin' in your own time?
All your attempting, experimenting, all on the climb
Do you know, know, know what it's like
To be searching and suddenly find
All your illusion, all your confusion, all left behind?

Do you know, know, know what it's like
To be searchin' in your own time?
All your attempting, experimenting, all on the climb
Do you know, know, know what it's like
To be searching and suddenly find
All your illusion, all your confusion, all left behind?

Cause many years from now there will be new tomorrows
And still some sorrows, how does it feel? Oh, oh, oh

Do you know, know, know what it's like
To be searchin' in your own time?
All your attempting, experimenting, all on the climb
Do you know, know, know what it's like
To be searching and suddenly find
All your illusion, all your confusion, all left behind?

VIDDER. YOU PERFECT VIDDER YOU. I got teary eyed as soon as I saw that I got an Almost Famous vid, and I just spent five minutes happy crying into my laptop. In my letter I said that the perfect gift would be a vid that captured this particular feeling, this passion I had as a teenager that I associated with this movie, and this is it. This is the vid. I'm feeling things. I love this vid so much, and you for making it for me. ♥♥♥

Wow, this is amazing. From that point at 1:07 where the music builds and you go to the concert scene, it's just about as perfect a vid to as perfect a song as possible for this movie.

[laurashapiro]

This is stunning. I don't think I've ever seen a build executed so successfully. The vid just gets its hooks into your heart and yanks you along on this crazy drug-and-music-fueled road trip, like the movie only somehow more intense. ALL THE FEELS, anonymous. ALL THE FEELS.

I would pretend you made this for me, but I wouldn't want to take the beauty of this heartfelt emotional... *flails* Anyway, I wouldn't want to take that away from violace. So goddamn good. So good.

[no_detective]

Oh wow - the way this builds is AMAZING. Wonderful, magical work. <3

[littleheaven]

Oh, the brilliance that is Cameron Crowe, you have captured it all here in this beautifully edited, perfectly paced vid. You've showcased the emotional heart of this movie. Lovely work.

[skygiants]

Oh wow, I had forgotten what baby faces they all were at this time! THEIR LITTLE FACES. Fantastic work.

Nicely done!

This is pretty much perfection. You have captured all the wide eyed wonder and the seedy underbelly this movie encapsulates. Such a joy to watch. :)

[maidenjedi]

My all-time favorite movie, and you captured it SO WELL. Awesome awesome awesome.

[metonymy]

Perfect song, perfect vid, perfect rhythm, perfect feel.

This is being young, being on the cusp of something new, this is rock 'n' roll, this is life on the open road. It's a wonderful reminder of that feeling of possibility, and thank you for that.

This is amazing! I love everything turning to sunlight and sepia at the end.
