Description:
*SPOILERS*
This AMV (and description) contains Kingdom Hearts 2 spoilers (if you haven't finished KH2, STOP READING NOW!), and clips from Final Mix.
And now, I present...
My saddest vid yet ;_;
Yeah, well...
This is set during the moments after Axel's self-sacrifice. As he lies there, fading away, he wonders (aloud, in this case) if Roxas knows what's happening to him; if he's there watching him somewhere, somehow. He reflects on the good and bad times he had with Roxas, and on how he admires his strength and his kind heart.
And maybe, Roxas really is watching...
OK, you're probably wondering: Why on Earth would I make such a sad AMV?
I know, I wondered that myself...
I mean, I cry every time I listen to this song, and I cried while making this too (and this isn't my first sad AMV)...I'm a glutton for punishment, I swear...
I guess it has to do mainly with the fact that I find deep emotion (especially relating to Axel and Roxas) to be a beautiful thing.
Eh, a good explanation as any, I guess... -_-
Anyway, this song was practically BEGGING to be made into an Axel tribute AMV. I imagined that very scene when I first listened to it, which is why it makes me cry EVERY TIME.
(Even writing this description's making me weepy...)
C'mon, look at these lyrics (copied them from the CD booklet):
"Are you there? Are you watching me?
As I lie here on this floor,
They say you feel what I do,
They say you're here every moment,
Will you stay?
Stay until the darkness leaves,
Stay here with me,
I know you're busy, I know I'm just one,
But you might be the only one who sees me,
The only one to save me,
Why is it so hard?
Why can't you just take me? [yet another "Axel praying" theme in one of my vids...]
I don't have much to go,
Before I fade completely..."
And that's just the FIRST part of the song...
Honestly, whatever Kelly Clarkson was going through when she wrote this song, I hope she's OK now...
...or maybe she was playing KH2 ;)
(OK, not likely, lol)
Speaking of Kelly, do people hate her now or something? I mean, I know her latest album isn't great, but it isn't horrible either...
I'm saying this because my last two vids with her songs haven't been too popular (which makes me sad, especially in the case of "Haunted", I think I did a good job on that one, personally...).
Well, whatever the case, give this vid a chance, regardless of the artist, OK?
EDIT: Whoa...I stand corrected.
In just two days, this vid has gotten more views than "Axel and Roxas - Haunted", which has been up for over two weeks!
Thanks guys, really ^_^
(I guess this one IS better than "Haunted"...)
Forgive the clip repetition, as you can see, it was necessary here (and most of it was for lip-sync, the lip-sync was the hardest part of making this, emotionally and technically).
Oh, and about the song itself, the track is titled "Irvine" but it includes two songs, the first of which was used here. (I don't like the second one very much) Why it's called Irvine I don't know...I made up this title for this vid because I don't think "Axel and Roxas - Irvine" wouldn't have been very good...
Well, just for the sake of reference, I'm still calling the song "Irvine", despite my cutting out of its second song (which, I can only assume, could be titled "Shivers").
Like I said, give this vid a chance, it's sad, but in a beautiful way =)
My next vid will be a happier one, I swear! (OK, maybe not "happier" per se, but a lot more fun, at least :) ) With a song by someone who's considerably more popular than Kelly Clarkson at the moment... ^_^;
The video clips are from KH-Vids.net, and the song is "Irvine" by Kelly Clarkson.
Oh, and about the fanart at the end...
Yeah, I guess I'm kinda pushing it with the sadness there :'(
I have to credit AxelObcessed for that one, since I found it when I came upon her photobucket album (I know, hard to believe, but yeah, it was in there). It wasn't drawn by her, obviously (she would never do something THAT emo, lol [no offense, Kat ^_^]), it looks like it came from deviantart originally.
