The Morning After, by Zinc http://www.folcvideo.com/music/TheMorningAfter.wmv

I made this for David!

Please tell me what you think! ANY feedback/constructive criticism or any other comments you want to make are welcome, anything at all!

I often wonder if anyone would like to see the lyrics to the vids, so if you do, to save you the bother, here they are:

verse one:
Well there's this feeling I get
When i'm not feeling my best
and there's nothing that can make it go away
As I can't do just a little I get
Stuck in the middle
Of my own private groundhog day

bridge:
Even though i know that i'm gonna regret it all tomorrow
I will let the sorrow fall where it may
At least until....

chorus:
The morning after, the night before
When I don't think that I could hate myself anymore
Such a simple thing, yet I can't comprehend
Why I keep making the same mistakes, over and over again

verse two:
Well this cell that I built
For myself and my guilt
Keeps me safe until my next escape
and there's no use denying
I'm in need of supplying
I gotta get my hands on something I can take

bridge:
Even though I know I'm gonna regret it all tomorrow
I will let the sorrow fall where it may
At least until...

chorus:
The morning after, the night before
When I don't think I could hate myself anymore
Such a simple thing, yet I can't comprehend
Why I keep making the same mistakes, (over and over again) (x2)
I will let the sorrow fall where it may

verse three:
All my sincere intent
Ends up turning to lament
Cause I don't know when it's time to stop
At least until...

chorus:
The morning after, the night before
When I don't think I could hate myself anymore
Such a simple thing, yet I can't comprehend
Why I keep making the same mistakes, over and over again

The morning after, the night before (x4)
Why I keep making the same mistakes, over and over again
The morning after, the night before

----

Anyways, uh, thanks for your time smile

To me honest I thought at first this video was about somthing else... wink Forgive me, it's hot here in my Wanna Be Metropolis and I have been making silly judgements all day smile

Awesome alt-Clark video! Love the scene where he replays the "almost kiss" over and over and over again! Great job!

Oooh! So *that's* what everyone meant?? *didn't think anything of 'the morning after'* Honest. blush

It's an alt Clark vid!!! I love him! But you knew that. goofy

"Stuck in the middle... Groundhog day" - what a great fit!

And the morning after with that first shot of Tempus... wow. What an emotion that inspires. Yeah, maybe I'm too emotional already, but it really helps set the mood for the vid. The whole idea that alt Clark's life is just one horrible morning after. And... moving on now cause I still need to finish watching. wink

This line really gets to me: When I don't think that I could hate myself anymore

Gah! How sad and how true! goofy


And this:
Even though I know I'm gonna regret it all tomorrow
I will let the sorrow fall where it may

Gah! goofy You put the sad Supes on the building ledge clip in there!!!! I think that clip is so much more Alt Clark than our Clark, and I am so thankful that the show creaters had this clip. Yeah, maybe we overuse it, but that's because it's such a great image. Iconic. *That's* what a hero is today - not always flashy and perfect, but it's that little bit of imperfection, the fact that they can be sad, that humanizes him and makes us love him all the more.

*cough* Whoops... and they say Lois goes on tangents. blush

Anyhoo...

The image thing that's on your avatar behind the song title... WOW!! That was way cool!!! goofy

Wow Jenni! This is a great vid!! I've always had a soft spot for Alt-Clark and you've hit the nail on the head with this one. I was all teary eyed by the end. Thanks for sharing this with us!

Yeah, that's one of the fun things about music vids, isn't it, Groobie? I've been introduced to so many great songs over the past year, since I started collecting Stargate vids and checking out the talented vidders here. Songs that I would probably never have come across otherwise.

Sorry, I haven't gotten the chance to view this yet, Jenni - seems I'm doomed to have to catch up with vids periodically, 20 at a time goofy . But looking forward to posting fdk eventually. <G>

Aramis: Yes, sorry.
