I'm pretty sure that most of you have never heard this song - and probably have never heard of the band who performs it either...

It's called "God Has Failed" by a German band named RPWL.

It's very, very short. Only two minutes. And it's a TOGOM vid, so I just know you're going to love it -- right? wink

God Has Failed.
YouTube Version

Huge thanks to Cat and Jessi for answering questions and helping me look for scenes when I was at a loss. And for always getting excited along with me when I tell them I've had an idea for "something". sloppy

Oh, wow! That was incredibly sad and moving. The only reason I'm not bawling my poor tired eyes out right now is because I know that he's not really dead.

But...wow! You chose such amazing clips, they went along with the music perfectly to create such a moving video.

clap Bravo!

Wow...

great work, great video! The scenes you've chosen nearly made me cry.
I loved that you made the present in color and the rest in black & white.

I've heard the song before but I've never paid attention to the lyrics.

thumbsup Hope you'll make more!

GASP!!

Now I almost regret going to bed last night!

*Scampers off to watch*

Ooooooh! This is sad and sweet all at the same time laugh Yay you!


Mmm cheese.

I vid, therefor I am.

The hardest lesson is that love can be so fair to some, and so cruel to others. Even those who would be gods.

Anne Shirley: I'm glad you spell your name with a "K." Katherine with a "K" is so much more alluring than Catherine with a "C." A "C" always looks so smug.
Me: *cries*

awww!! blush Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

I cried while I was making that, btw, so I'm actually glad that it brought some of you close to tears, too. I can't watch the last image of Lois, it just breaks my heart completely. Poor thing!

Babsi - ooh! you'd heard the song before? that's so cool! smile I'm glad to know they're not as obscure as I thought they might be. I love these guys!

And can I say, lcfan4ever, I totally squee'd when I saw that you're using one of my icons. *dances* YAY!!

Thank you all so much for the comments! smile Luv 'ya!

Aww! I love how it opens up with Jimmy. I think he's underused in video making. smile But oh my gosh! This was so sad! For a second I got all panic-y and I was like "oh no, I hated it when Clark die-- oh wait. He never died." *bangs head* Your video was fantastic. I nearly forgot Clark was invulnerable!

aww! *blushes even more* Thank you so much!

And of course, Clark is not dead - he comes back after. He's just not back yet for Lois there and... I kinda made them have a funeral for him, but they just as well might on the show...

If I had a song that said "I'm back" or something like, I'd definitely make a sequel. *lol*

Awwww! *major sniffle*

Very nicely done, Lara. Sorry I'm late to the party. But that was so sad! I feel like the others - glad I know it has a happy ending. <g> The Black & White memories made it feel so real.

Awww! Thanks DJ!

Kinda makes it worse that I made it look like they held a funeral for him, doesn't it? angel-devil

I'm looking for a song I could use to bring him back to life... Seriously!

I know I watched this before but it appears I didn't leave comments. (Or maybe I did in the other place!) But I really loved it, Lara. Great job. smile

Another one by you that I forgot to leave comments for, Lara! I will now. So here goes...

This song is so sad... mecry It's great the way you've matched the clips to the song. I especially liked the beginning with Jimmy packing up Clark's things. Also, the black and white seems very appropriate for this song - somber; muted.

Amazing piece of work! laugh

~Anna.


Lois: Jimmy, give me back my dress.
Clark: Now there's something you don't hear around the newsroom everyday.
