Part 4

Here is another songvid, which was ispired by a song which went onto the Hatstand's advent calendar. I just had to make it. So thank you Hatstand.

It is a little on the melancholy side, and goes to show, timing is everything.

I'm very happy you liked it. And I am glad to give you something to smile - if that is the right word here, maybe not...lol - about on your return.

Thank you!

'A little on the melancholy'. Hmmm, methinks you are the mistress of the understatement. That was one of the most unbelievably sad things I have ever seen. So moving and so utterly unhappy.

*Sob*

Really wonderful, every word and picture went together perfectly, but . . .

*Sob*

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, So maybe I am the mistress of understatement. Sorry to upset you hon, cheer up, it was just poor timing that was all. Bodie loves him, he does, honest!

Thank you, It must have been hard typing through the mist of tears. So HUGS

[nakeisha.livejournal.com]

As long as Bodie loves him, that's all right :-)

And yes, it was very difficult typing - even though I touch type, I do like to be able to see what comes up on the screen.

*Hugs*

That was pretty much perfect. Wow. Okay, yes, it needs a story to fix it, but...wow. *g* I really liked that. Yeah, a little on the melancholy side! But gorgeous with it--such yearning, and...passion underneath that. Poor Doyle!

I'm really useless at commenting on stuff like this--the vid is so effective at evoking just that sense of melancholy, edging towards despair. Thank you! That is a beautiful vid.

Well I think you have done a bang up job. :)Thank you very much for such lovely feedback. As for the story, do you want to write it? ;)*grins and maybe begs a little*

[msmoat.livejournal.com]

do you want to write it?
What, a despairing Doyle story? Me?? *g* So...he finally screws up his courage to confront Bodie and finds him with a girl, and loses his nerve. Poor lad. Or maybe they actually are together, but Doyle comes home early.... Dunno, somehow I don't think a story could quite match the evocative beauty of the vid!

[elizabethoshea.livejournal.com]

Oh! So sad. But beautiful. I loved it (I'm a sucker for melancholy). And the clips are perfect. I'll just tell myself he's got the wrong end of the stick and it'll all be resolved in time *g*. Thank you so much.

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Well, you'll be right to tell yourself that. ;) Thank you for letting me know just how much you enjoyed it, I'm glad you did. :)

[metabolick.livejournal.com]

Why don't you go ahead and stomp all over my heart as long as it's lying bleeding on the floor? ::sob:: Heartbreaking but brilliantly done. Thank you (I think!)

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, another apology in order, sorry, maybe I should have said; This will tear your heart out, and it will feel like someone is stomping on it too.

Thank you for letting me know that you think you wanted to thank me...lol

No, honestly, thank you!

Bodie loves Doyle too, and they live happily ever after in CI5 and live to a ripe old age. And are still as passionate about each other today as the day they got it together. Which was infact shortly after Ray went out of the door and Bodie caught up with him in the park, where he explained that his sister had to sleep somewhere and he was only stopping her from falling out of the bed. P.S. She forgot her pyjamas. :)

[metabolick.livejournal.com]

And all of his clean ones were at the laundry, so he didn't have any for her to borrow. Though he did have a hard time explaining to her the handcuffs attached to the headboard!

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

LOL... But she did believe him in the end. Well, he has such a innocent little smile when he wants to have, doesn't he. So it was easy to convince her he put them there for safe keeping and lost the key. I mean he sleeps with a gun under the pillow, why not have the cuffs there at hand too.

[metabolick.livejournal.com]

Very good point. Who can resist Bodie at his most charming? He and Ray had a good post-coital laugh about it later!

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Exactly! LOL

WOW! I love that icon! That simply gorgeous!

[metabolick.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I haven't seen yours just above. Lovely.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Oh, that was like fic! Beautiful and melancholy and clearly needing a sequel! I loved the way it ended there actually - I like melancholy and sad endings sometimes - you get to make them happy in your head *g* And I really liked the (again I'm no vid-person!) but the beat of the music and the clips together. And of course seeing Ray in bed is never a hardship... Thank you!

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

A sequel, eh? Hmm... will give a thought. :)

Thank you very much, I'm really very happy you enjoyed it.

Hmm... A sequel....

[enednoviel.livejournal.com]

OMG, that's a wonderful vid. Exactly what I like - when a vid tells a story. Brilliant editing. That goes into my faves folder.

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

*blushes* And this from the lady who made my favourite Pros vid ever.

Thank you so much, honey, this really means a lot. :)

Wow, I am really delighted you liked that much. Thank you!

[enednoviel.livejournal.com]

*blushes* And this from the lady who made my favourite Pros vid ever.

Awwwwww.....
You're really welcome, I enjoyed this tremendously. Still do! :D
*watches again*

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Terrific! I had to create a new icon just for this.

I love the way you used the clips to tell a completely new story. Poor Doyle! Even if he was a bit of a stalker-Doyle. ;-) Every look, every glance meant something different than it meant in the show. Very, very cool!

And I'll add my voice to the chorus asking for a sequel. We got Doyle's POV, now what about Bodie? Is he utterly clueless? Because I got the feeling he might have some idea what was going on...

Loved it!

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Lovely, now you mention it, Ray does read a lot, doesn't he. :)

I didn't realise until I read this, just how much of a stalker Ray is in this...lol

We got Doyle's POV, now what about Bodie?

Um...

Is he utterly clueless?

Er...

Because I got the feeling he might have some idea what was going on...

Oh... well, you might be onto something there. ;)


I'm delighted you loved it. *g* Thank you for the lovely feedback.

[blackmushroom.livejournal.com]

Sad and beautiful. Love this; really love this.
Stunning winter Ray. Happy ending sequel??? Bodie's story sequel??? Say yes please, because if not...
Warning! Very bad fic writer: "our stunning winter Ray opened old Bodie's CI5 flat door. He didn't remember that Bodie's finally moved with him because a evil and ill-intentioned snowflake hit him on the head. After discovering in bed the boring straight couple living now in ex Bodie's flat he realized that his love was waiting (naked) at their home. He left the building and drove back home" ;)

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Thank you, honey!

You know I quite like you alternate ending. That rogue snowflake has a lot to answer for, it had all of these girls going there for a while...lol Now if only I had the clips to make that one. :)

[eveningblue.livejournal.com]

Oh, I loved how you edited those scenes together to make your own story! Especially the scenes from "When the Heat Cools Off." Yes, those are scenes I can never get enough of. :-)

And great choice of song! And very good job matching visuals to the music!

(I don't know if you care about this sort of thing, but there should be an apostrophe in "Winter's" and also in "Season's.")

Slightly sad ending but we know Bodie doesn't care about the bird. Ever. His one true love is Doyle. He'll come around, I know.

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Well, I am glad to have put a smile on your face.

(I don't know if you care about this sort of thing, but there should be an apostrophe in "Winter's" and also in "Season's.")

Yes, I do. I am just not very good at it. Thank you for pointing it out. :)

Yes, Bodie loves Doyle, and always will. Just bad timing on both their parts. :)

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

*gulp*

Poor Ray. He loves his Bodie so much - surely Bodie knows?

which is my way of hinting that I'd love a sequel too...

Beautiful vid, Mel. Being the old fart that I am I have to admit that I didn't know the song, but it's perfect. And you've chosen some great clips and done wonderful things with them.

Thank you, sweetie!

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Thank you, honey! Glad you liked it...

Sequel? Right, got it...

And just for the record, you're not an old fart. :D

[rosie55.livejournal.com]

Just catching up with all the wonderful Christmas offerings in Prosland, and have just found a quiet moment to myself to watch this. Like several people here, I have to admit, I'm not usually a vid fan. But, oh, you've won me over completely with this one - absolutely perfect! Lovely slow slightly off-beat song, lovely composition of shots, had to watch it again immediately and then again and then save it to favourites. A visual feast - thank you so much for this.

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Oh this is good to hear. Right, shall get on with some more just to keep your interest. :)

Thank you for letting me know just how much you enjoyed it. :D

[andreathelion.livejournal.com]

How beautiful and sad was this *Big Sigh* A real heartbreaking vid, poor Ray.
And I just can agree, it definitely needs a sequel.
Thank you for this wonderful vid!

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

And thank you for this lovely feedback. :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it...

Sequel... Is everyone thinking of signing a petition on this.. it's almost unanimous. I feel a little pressurised... lol I might just cave...lol

[bistokidsfan77.livejournal.com]

A very intersting vid. Your choice of clips matches well and adds to the emotion of the lyrics so well. The angst and pain are palpable & you just want to huggle Ray. Poor Bodie - so clueless! *tips hat* Well done!

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Shall we form a queue to administer the huggles. I'd hate for him to be hurt in the sudden rush. Although, I reckon his Bodie might just step in and prtest him

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

Beautiful!

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Thank You!

[izzie7.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. Absolutely beautiful, and very touching.

I know nothing about making songvids, but this strikes me as exactly what a great songvid should be - it marries video excerpts to a song, tying in with both the lyrics and the music, and in the process making something completely new.

But I need a happy ending. Please?

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you for the lovely feedback.

But I need a happy ending. Please?

You know I have been hearing this a lot lately...lol *looks up the list of comments* *g* We'll see. ;)

[paris7am.livejournal.com]

Wow. What powerful emotions this stirs up. It's beautiful, lush. Thank you.

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!

[ancastar.livejournal.com]

Poor Ray! Really nice job of telling a story with your clips. You did a terrific job of putting together a Christmas vid from a show without a Christmas episode. I take my hat off to you. I had thought to perhaps try to do something vid-like for the challenge, but gave up. You're made of stronger stuff. Well done.

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Thank you, what lovely feedback. I heard it on the Hatstand and just felt it had to be made what with the story playing out in my head as I heard it. Thank you for letting me know what you thought. :)

[shaw012145.livejournal.com]

Loved the whole vid, especially the way you ended ... the scene from where you made your Snowy Icon ... beautiful.

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Honey! Well that scene had to make it's way in there somehow. It's just so wintery. I'm delighted you enjoyed it so much. :)

[sunray45.livejournal.com]

That is just so beautiful. I'm absolutely hopeless with words, but big hugs and thank yous for a lovely vid.

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

And thank you for the lovely feedback. Being hopeless with words myself. Hugs back. :)

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

CLUNK ... getting back up from the floor ... holy focaccia that was amazing! Despite all the fab fiction there is I've never felt so bad for Raymond before, never wanted to beat that Bodie around the face with a wet haddock before. Doh! He's beautifully dim, but Ray is even more beautifully lovelorn. And I just love the two of them crammed into doorways together .. Thanks for this complete gem, and for introduction to that haunty music. And yay for bitter melancholy!

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

LOL... I do hope you didn't hurt yourself, when you fell? LOL

Yeah, our Ray does do hurt so well, doesn't he, although Bodie is not so bad at it himself. As for the the wet haddock? Isn't that a bit drastic? How about a wet anchovy? LOL I'd hate for that extremely handsome face to be marred in some way. *g* Ray just wouldn't be impressed, would he.

Thank you for the wonderful feedback. And I am so very glad you enjoyed it so much. And even though it sounds a little callous, I am quite happy I managed to be able to stir those emotions in people. Thank you! (sorry I couldn't get back to you before I have only just found this lovely feedback)
