Lyrics
It ain't as good as it gets

And if you got holes all over your chest

My best day's your worst day

'Worst day' is my best phrase

That's just what I get

Rope squeezin' my neck

The things I forget

Lost in my hotel room

Ocean on it's way back soon

That's what we get

Flies licking my face

All bets are closed off in this race

Break ground, start again

Break ground, start again

Get what we can get

Poison on my plate

I love it all the same

There's hands on my wrist

In the form of a fist

In the form of a kiss

Light up the sky

Light up the sky

You light up the sky

Light up the sky

Light up the sky

Light up the sky

Light up the sky

Light up the sky

Light up the sky

Light up the sky

Light up the sky

Leave some room

For the lucky ones

Light up the sky

Light up the sky

Doom

For the lucky ones

Your editing has a real drive in this, enjoyed it muchly!

[bingeling]

:DDD Thank you!

[giandujakiss]

Oh that was gorgeously put together!

[bingeling]

Thaaaaanks! :3

Ooh, I loved this! I mean, I love Johnny's face SO MUCH but I also really like that this was more than just making hearteyes at him, I love how you interspersed so much of the weird creepy dark sadness that this show has, so everything was really grounded in that context. Like, yes, they're an awesome team who love each other but also they're an awesome team FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT and it's HARD. And starting with the storyline from 1x08, oof, what a gut punch, but it set up the whole mood of the vid really well. Definitely going to be rewatching this one a bunch! Thank you!!!

[bingeling]

Yaaaaaaaaay, I'm so happy you like it!

[no_detective]

Wow, this vid swept me up into the 'verse so beautifully through his experiences! LOVE LOVE LOVE <3

[bingeling]

\o/ \o/ \o/ Thank you!

[cathexys]

Oh that was gorgeous and felt like a really serious exploration of a show I often tend to watch more as space adventure and eye candy. Thank you!

[bingeling]

Ha! That's also what I watch it as. But this assignment made me go CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

[caramarie]

This is fab -- great atmosphere and pacing. I'll have to come back and rewatch it lots once I actually finish season 1 ♥

[bingeling]

Awww thanks that you watched it without having seen all of season 1 and thank you for liking it!

[colls]

This was such a kickass vid!

You were able to incorporate so much about the show that he's facing - fighting, friendship, family, scary dark secret stuff, power struggles, etc.

Beautifully put together!

[bingeling]

Thanks a lot! :>

[thuviaptarth]

I really liked this.

[bingeling]

Yay, I'm glad!

[kiki_miserychic]

Wow, excellent song choice and I really dig the editing.

[bingeling]

Thanks so much! :3

[talumin]

Thank you for remind me how fantastic this show is! This was great!

[bingeling]

Wheee, glad to be of service! Thanks!

[amathela]

Ooh, this was really, really good <3

[bingeling]

Thank you. <3

[rivkat]

I really enjoyed the kinetic energy shown in the vid--poor Johnny!

[bingeling]

Thanks! Johnny gets punched a lot is just one of the things I discovered making this vid!

[serrico]

Great editing in this! Your visual/sound matching in particular--like the reverb on the clip of the vibrating Green Shit--is fantastic. :)

[bingeling]

Haha the vibrating Green Shit was literally the first part of the vid I made! I literally went "ehehehe" when I thought of it.

[valoise]

The drive of the music building to the end was so well matched with clips and editing that the result is so compelling.

[bingeling]

Thanks muchly!

[ghost_lingering]

Love the editing in this! So shiny!

[bingeling]

Yay, shiny! Thank you!

[echan]

That's it, I've been recruited, I'm gonna start watching this show as soon as I get home. So many feels in this vid, the moments of wonder were a great contrast with the darkness.

[bingeling]

My proudest moment, I didn't expect this to work as a recruitment vid AND YET! Thank you. :D

[heresluck]

This song does totally feel like Johnny. I love how well you've captured him and the way he feels about the team in S1. (Dutch lights up the sky!) ♥

[bingeling]

I had a harder than usual time finding a song this year, so I'm incredibly glad to hear it feels like Johnny. Thank you!

(She dooooeeeees!)

[jb_slasher]

What did I just watch, oh wow. I haven't seen the source so I have no idea what is going on but I love the editing and really, I am intrigued, well intrigued.

[bingeling]

Heee, I didn't try to make this vid followable for people who don't know the source, I'm glad you still got something out of it!

[anoel]

This is really beautiful and I love how you use the change in music to add so much energy and drive and excitement. Really cool!

[bingeling]

Yay, thank you!

[franzeska]

I like what you did with the clicks in the first part of the song.

[bingeling]

Thanks!
