My first attempt at a sentimental video in a very long time. I'm just no good at them sadly. And much like the other 50-some-odd videos I made this year it's a quick edit. Tops there's maybe 5 hours tied up in this one, and most of that is the endings.

The concept is really simple and so is the editing. Yes the song is about a love interest but I cut the verse that really goes into that. I think it's a great cover of a classic song, and only draw back I had was ending the video. Since the song just kind of falls apart, I really wanted to toy with the audience an make it an emotionally disturbing tear fest, but that ending wound up more confusing and/or comical, so I made it an "alternative ending" version which is listed on my profile under "Everafter."

Yes there is a watermark in the video. I could correct it, but just don't care to.

That said, I am interesting in feedback on the emotional impact, so leaving a quick comment with a simple sentence telling me how the video made you feel, that would be really helpful. I intend to make more sappy sentimental videos in the future, but the approach will depend on how effective this trial was.

Thanks for watching!
I hope you enjoy
