Let Go by Frou Frou

<sub>Drink up baby doll
Are you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind
'Cause it's all going off without you
"Excuse me, too busy," you're writing your tragedy
These mess-ups
You bubble-wrap
When you've no idea what you're like

So, let go, let go
Jump in
Oh well what you waiting for?
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

So, let go, l-let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

It gains the more it gives
And then it rises with the fall,
So hand me that remote
Can't you see that all that stuff's a slideshow?
Such boundless pleasure
We've no time for later,
Now you can't wait
You roll your eyes
Well we've twenty seconds to comply

So, let go, so let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's alright
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

So, let go, yeah let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

So, let go, so let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's alright

'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, yeah let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

In the breakdown

'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
The breakdown

So amazing here
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown</sub>

Notes: So the funny thing was, the bulk this vid was made during spring break and sat on for forever 'cause I knew that VVC submission time was going to be insane for because of auction vid. Showed my betas and then mulled over their suggestion for way too long...in the process moving my source to my external harddrive thinking I could pull it from there.

HAH: external drive decided to crap out on me and not give me back any of my files. Deadline was coming and I despaired of turning in anything. But see, this vid was one of those that ATE THE BRAIN.

So in the end, I gave up, gave in, and fixed up the pre-end sequence with altered clips from within the vid itself, such as brightening and reversing and flipping clips, so that instead of looking away from her, he keeps turning back and looking back all longingly...awwww! ahem. =D

I'm probably not remastering this, though I wouldn't be surprised if I take this out to tweak it in ways that no one will ever notice but me 'cause it's my silly little baby like that.
