• Comments: This video idea was sitting in my head ever since I found out LP was making a new album. I had made a point of saying I would make the first good video to an LP song off of their new CD. So as soon as their new single hit the internet I snatched it up and started editing it. On April 2nd they released the digital version of the song on iTunes and that is where I obtained the official version of the song, which is used in this video. It isn’t as HQ as it would be off of the CD, but AAC at 128kbps sounds like a 192kbps mp3 or better, so it was good enough for the video. I will most likely release this video with higher quality audio, as soon as the single CD is out, or when the album comes out.
  
  The premise of the video revolves around Cloud wanting to find redemption. This goes very well with the purpose of the song itself. "So, in a way, it's us saying goodbye to how we used to be..." - Chester Bennington. Basically a song about changes and moving forward, which is what Cloud goes through in Advent Children. This video is focusing on Cloud mostly to achieve this and it is my first attempt at a solely Cloud character profile video. I enjoyed editing this video, and I think the song and anime complement each other very nicely.

  Lyrics:
  Linkin Park - What I've Done Lyrics
  
  In this farewell,
  There’s no blood,
  There’s no alibi.
  ‘Cause I’ve drawn regret,
  From the truth,
  Of a thousand lies.
  
  So let mercy come,
  And wash away…
  
  What I’ve Done.
  I’ll face myself,
  To cross out what I’ve become.
  Erase myself,
  And let go of what I’ve done.
  
  Put to rest,
  What you thought of me.
  While I clean this slate,
  With the hands,
  Of uncertainty.
  
  So let mercy come,
  And wash away…
  
  What I’ve Done.
  I’ll face myself,
  To cross out what I’ve become.
  Erase myself,
  And let go of what I’ve done.
  
  For What I’ve Done
  
  I start again,
  And whatever pain may come.
  Today this ends,
  I’m forgiving what I’ve done.
  
  I’ll face myself,
  To cross out what I’ve become.
  Erase myself,
  And let go of what I’ve done.
  (Na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na)
  What I’ve done.
  
  Forgiving What I’ve Done.
