Lyrics
Well she said, baby

Come on and take my hand

You know that lately

You've been my only man

And all that I wanted

Is for you to see

Come on now, my love

And take a walk with me

Through the deep, dark wood

Through the deep, dark

Through the deep, dark wood

Love, lay your hand upon my chest

So I can't go back

No, this love ain't like the rest

No, I can't go back

Now there's no more to love than this

No, I can't go back

Back

Back

Well she said, baby

I feel you coming up

We spend a lifetime

Getting our lover wrong

She said, there's no need

Come on, it won't take long

The dreams are strange but good

Through the deep, dark

Through the deep, dark wood

Love, lay your hand upon my chest

So I can't go back

No, this love ain't like the rest

No, I can't go back

Now there's no more to love than this

No, I can't go back

Back

Back

No, I can't go back

Back

Back

Great editing and song choice!

From:

happydork

THIS IS AMAZING! Gorgeous, super effective use of the same editing techniques they use on the show to tell your narrative -- I really love how you didn't just work with it, but really made it integral to the vid. It was really evocative and, let's be honest, also just plain cool. and OH MY GOD ANNALISE AND WES'S DYNAMIC you punched me right in all my favourite feels about them -- the power imbalance and the experience imbalance and how neither of those mean that Wes is completely without power or his own experiences, and how they recognise something in each other than neither of them can entirely understand or control, and how ARGH WES'S FACE I CANNOT EVEN and, just, I loved this vid, I will watch it over and over, I'm so happy it exists, you did a good, yay!

Oh man this is great! So slick and stylish and with loads of depth as well, also omg their FACES. :D

From:

sophinisba

This is so awesome and great. I love love love all those sexy looks between them ahhhhhhh!

From:

longwhitecoats

Daaaaaaamn. This vid captures the energy of the show so beautifully -- how it's urgent and personal and terrifying, and you feel carried away with it. I love the way you intercut the plottier scenes with the conversations between Annalise and Wes. It really does feel like they're running together through a deep, dark wood. (I totally ship them, too, and this vid made my shippy little heart so happy!)

From:

This is faaabulous - I love the fast fast rollercoaster feeling of it, all the inevitability of their relationship and the way it pushes them forward. Gorgeous.

From:

eruthros

Wow, this is just AMAZING.

From:

niyalune

Incredibly well done and breathtaking! I love it :DDD

From:

elipie

This is seriously breathtaking. The fluidity of your cutting is just seamless and it's so emotionally raw. Great job!

From:

runawaynun

Oooh, I love how this captured how Annalise had manipulated and brought Wes further and further on this path. Such a great song and such good editing.

From:

livrelibre

OMG this is fabulous and I love it! Amazing editing and song choice and just everything!

From:

teaotter

This is so awesome!

From:

valoise

Fantastic!

From:

isagel

This is incredibly well made. Bravo! Ngl, this relationship is the only thing I really enjoy about HTGAWM, and you've done amazing things with it here. Stunning work!

From:

shati

This is really compelling! And great song choice for the source. I like how all the speed toggling gives it a sense of scale/chaos, and how it emphasizes the slower parts.

From:

gabbysilang

Fuuuuuck me, this is incredible.

From:

chaila

This is a stunning vid, complex and disturbing and compelling! I didn't make it all the way through the season (yet?) so I'm sure I'm missing nuance, but the editing just pulled me in and along as as Wes gets drawn further in and Annalise and Wes get further twisted together in complicated ways. Love how it ramps up and spins out as events get out of control, but you never lose control in the editing. So good!

From:

rosaxx50

Stunning. I'm not actually familiar with the source (though I'm rectifying that right away!) but your editing is just beyond words, and I'm already drawn into what looks like a complicated, twisty dynamic.

From:

leanwellback

Oh wow, this is AWESOME. Such slick editing and you give it such momentum and weight. And, like

happydork said above, I love how you use the style of the show to bring out that urgency and give it great musicality. I love their relationship and you highlighted that fascinating dynamic they have so brilliantly!

From:

kiki_miserychic

This is an exploration I never thought I'd see because I thought I was the only one hyper interested in the Annalist and Wes relationship. The vid shouldn't work, but it does. The editing does this things where it takes what the show does and kicks it up times a million.

From:

goodbyebird

That was an excellent ride!

From:

croissantkatie

Oh gosh, that was awesome.

From:

kouredios

This is really, really well done. Wow.

From:

purplefringe

HOLY CRAP WHAT IS THIS SORCERY??? This is INCREDIBLE. I am in awe of your editing here - it's so slick and every beat is spot on. And you manage to convey an amazing level of intimacy in such a fast-paced vid. It's completely captivating. *flaily hands*

From:

skygiants

Oh, dang! This vid captures all the terrifying intensity of canon -- I love how you use the fast-forward/rewind to create this sense of getting ever more tangled, out-of-control.

From:

chagrined

Wow, this is so well-edited and compelling. I don't know the source but I'm really interested in it now!

From:

metatxt

I have only watched the pilot, but the editing on this is so freaking slick and gawd, it hits me in the wrong-ship feels so very very well. Kudos.

From:

sweetestdrain

Oh, wow. I don't know the show at all, but this is totally gripping and super well-constructed. I'll be rewatching this vid a lot to catch all the little details.
