Lyrics
Ooh, crazy's what they think about me

Ain't gonna stop cause they tell me so

Cause 99 miles per hour baby,

Is how fast that I like to go.



Can't keep up with my rhythm

Though they keep trying.

Too quick for the lines they throw.

I walk to the sound of my own drum,

It goes, they go, we go, hey yeah yeah yeah



Oh, here we go

Feel it in my soul

Really need it, need it, so go

Gotta feel it, body takes control

Really need it, need it



I wake up to the city of angels

To see my name headlining the coast

They say I'm a walking dreamer, baby

If I stop they would make the show



Can't keep up with my rhythm

Though they keep trying.

Too quick for the lines they throw.

I walk to the sound of my own drum,

It goes, they go, we go, hey yeah yeah yeah



Everybody walk

Everybody walk

Everybody walk, walk, walk...

Such great fun! I love the pace of this.

[livrelibre]

Fun and joyful as the show and great editing!

[niyalune]

Ahhh Barry! What a great character vid. This is so lovely and fun! My favorite part is Barry with the Wests, I just love them so much.

[elipie]

I really love this! So fun. The first chorus in particular is so visually appealing. <3_<3

[talumin]

Oh. My. God.

I love this so much. SO MUCH. This is everything I wanted. The silly Barry expressions! The family moments with Joe and Iris!

I'm so happy I can only express myself through Emma Stone gifs

[elipie]

I'm so so glad you liked it!!!! And I feel like we are kindred spirits now because we both love Barry Allen & Emma Stone's faces. A+++

[vonniek]

That was DELIGHTFUL. Great song choice, and the editing kept pace perfectly along the breakneck speed of the song (v. appropriate for a vid all about Barry's speed. :))

[trelkez]

This highlights so well all the fun, adorable, whee-zippy things about Barry and the show as a whole, and it has a great energy. Plus: hugs! I love a hug sequence. :D

[serrico]

THIS IS SO FUN. You really captured Barry's/the show's lightheartedness, sometimes even outright exhilaration. And the second chorus, when you showcase Iris and Joe and their roles in Barry's life, gave me the BIGGEST GRIN. :D :D :D Yay!

[dariaw]

SOOO much fun! I love the clips you chose and just the enthusiasm and excitement and humor of the show are just intensified here :)

[rosaxx50]

This is SUCH a great choice of song, and you have done it justice. This vid captures the upbeat cheer of the show so effortlessly. I was grinning in delight over all the scenes of Barry using his power, and then you segued into his relationships with Iris and Joe and I made a sound of absolute delight. Because that is what this video is: fun and delightful and beautifully edited.

[20thcenturyvole]

Your editing is phenomenal! I love the rhythm and momentum of this and, yes, the sheer sense of speed. Go, Barry, go!

[cienna]

I really enjoyed this! So fast-paced and engaging! Made me want to watch the show!

[purplefringe]

Omg this is such FUN! :-D I've not seen the show but this makes it look so appealing...

[astolat]

Heee, super fun! I loved what you did with the "everybody walk!" bridge <3

[violetemerald]

I'd never heard this song before but, in addition to the obvious lyrics about speed that match the concept of Barry's powers well, it's also just got such an upbeat and PERFECT feel for Barry's smile and personality. I loved everything about this. The ending was perfect. Every second was mesmerizing. You matched the lyrics so well, like the "headline" one. You used the internal movement of the scenes amazingly. Overall, just an epic vid. Truly.

[chagrined]

this is great. and it made me curious to maybe watch this show, heh.

[valoise]

The joy I get from the show - you've captured it right here. Love it!

[grammarwoman]

Oh, perfect song is PERFECT! I love the energy of this vid, with all of Barry's smiles and enthusiasm for his new abilities.

[sweetestdrain]

Such infectious fun! Such great timing! I really dig this.

[echan]

The energy and speed and FAMILY OH GODS THE FAMILY FEELS and the adventures and fun, such a joy to watch!

eta: You did a great job working with the song, it has some parts that could be abrupt/harsh tonal shifts but your vid is a unified wonder.

[felis]

So joyful! Perfect song choice, love the the pace and the movement in this. I also adore the relationship section you included after 1:40, and what you did with the musical bridge that follows it.

[swizzlespoon]

I really do love all four of The Flash vids that were made for Festivids, though I think if I had to choose just one to show someone to pimp the show it might be this one because it includes all aspects of the show in one vid, which is not an easy task with a show like this. I love that there's a section that focuses on team & family and part that's more about the villains and so on. Lots of great editing here as in the rest.

[franzeska]

:D :D :D

This makes me want to dance around the room.
