This is why you should listen to the WHOLE song before trying to vid it. I really liked the first part of this song for a LOST/Jack character vid. Now that I’m into it, I HATE the rest of the song. What I want is honest opinions on whether I should bother finishing it. I truly hate the next few “verses” of the song and they don’t fit what I was going for. I don’t think it can even remain a “Jack” vid, focusing on ALL the relationships in his life, not just affairs of the heart.
So please, tell me what you think.

Thanks 😉
:clap: I really like it so far, and I have some ideas on what you could do with the next verses. It looks like you were just trying to focus on Jack and his relationship with his dad, but I really think the verse following where you left off could focus on Jack/wife (I forget her name LOL) and his seemingly obligated feelings to marry her or I guess just to not disappoint her. The next verse is a toughy, but I’m thinking maybe if you show Jacks struggle to be a leader on the island. The only line that’s probably gonna be a hard one to fit in is the “I’ve been loving you for such a long time girl…” if the world “girl” wasn’t in there it’d be so much easier… I feel your frustration. I’m going to be out of town for the weekend, but I’ll be back Sunday night, and if I can think of any ideas for you I’ll e-mail you. Don’t give up yet… sometimes it helps if you just set it aside for a bit then come back to it all fresh and renewed. 🙂
Oh… JUST remembered something. I know it’s not the same but…. Mandy Moore did a pretty decent cover of this song and her line is “I’ve been loving you for such a long, long time…” if you don’t have it I can e-mail her version to you on Sunday. Might just work for what you need. 🙂 Here’s the lyrics to her version of the song. http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=3530822107858539998
hmm, interesting choice.:nod:
I can see why you’d be put off by the following verses though. maybe 2nd verse is about various survivors and the 3rd verse can go to his wife (and/or Kate) and dad
Thanks a TON, guys. I really wanted to keep Kate out of the focus, but I just don’t think I can get past the vocals throughout the rest of the song. I wanted a gritty, manly song for Jack and I still think the first part is good for him, but once the song gets creepy….BLECH!
I’m so not good at this stuff….but my impression is that you need to put Jack in some other contexts…like his leadership role on the island…scenes of him doing his doctor stuff…relating to the others…but I like hgow you focus tightly on each relationship instead of making a collage.
