This one's not up at folcvideo.com because it's 14 MB in size. The 10 MB version was just so poor in quality that I didn't want to use it. I hope this works for everyone. An ode to the difficulties of having a dual identity: Wind Beneath My Wings , music by Sonata Arctica. Don't let the song choice be a turn-off for you: it might not be quite what you expect  . ETA: I put up the 10 MB version at folcvideo.com. I'm still not too happy with the quality, but I want people to be able to download it without problems. ETA (again): I put the 14 MB version up on my website. It should work for download.

How the dickens do you download the song? I tell it to download and it just sits there looking at me.

There's a 30 second countdown, then a text box and a code appear. You enter the code in text box and hit the download button.

I did that. The code and text appeared and then I told it to download. It sat there doing nothing until I finally gave up. Is there some other way to get this file?

Did you type the code in the text box? When I tested it, it worked for me. Are others having the same problem?
(*Sigh*. I hate these file storage sites. They never work properly.)

It seems to be working fine for me C_A. It's taking a little while, though, even with DSL. I'm off to watch it now...

Nope, it wouldn't let me watch it. It wouldn't open - I'm trying it again and saving it this time... Okay, got it this time. Great job! I see why you said not to let the title put us off. I liked this version of the song better than the original. Loved the part in the middle with the dialogue from "Ordinary People" - made me laugh.

Now it's working. Whatever the glitch was, it seems to have gone away.

It's not working for me. I check getting this error message: Unfortunately, the number of Download Slots for your area are exhausted. Please Bookmark and try again later I've been trying off and on through out the day.

I put up the 10 MB version at folcvideo.com and edited my original post to include the link.

Thanks, DJ and Sara. Loved the part in the middle with the dialogue from "Ordinary People" - made me laugh. Yeah, just me being silly  . Now, I'll admit I was a bit worried, seeing as I'm a huge fan of the Bette Midler version of this song, but wow. THis one works really, really well! Thanks! Glad you liked this version of the song. While I admit that the Bette Midler version is one of my guilty pleasures, I just found it too sappy to use for this MV, especially with the theme I had in mind.

I was going to wait a post a nice "hey I'm back" post but I will do that after this. I am going through the videos slowly to catch up but this one caught my eye and what a beauty it is. Loved the song version and the clips. Loved the talking during the musical interlude...wonderful! Keep it up! More soon! ~Lois Lane Wanna Be
