Because really, Jack and Norrington are all about the bratty, taunting love.

Oh, that's lovely! Lovely! Beautiful song choice, and some of the clip choices had me barking out laughter... bravo! :-D

Heee. Thank you! Oh, the song. It's just so...Jack. And they are so happy! and hairpullingly bratty! I love them so!

Great work all around! Excellent song. I especially liked the looks on "but you know it's not that easy" and the cuts at the very end.

Yay Great Big Sea! :)

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*g* Great Big Sea is fantastic!

I'm glad you liked it :)

Oooh, very nice vid. I wish I had something more intelligent to say, but alas I don't. Great clip/song selection and . . . yeah. Just. Very nice. Thanks for making it.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

Too Much Fun. Just what I needed tonight. Upbeat, snarky, pigtail-pulling Sparrington. Thanks much, Sheila!

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*g* they are a joyful pairing most of the time. I heart them so!

*squeeeeeeeee*!

That is all.

Damn, I need a Norrington/Davenport icon. You have so totally converted me.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Wahey! *smooch* I promise you, the Norrington/Davenport love is a fine, fine thing to have.

Okay, so, it's like this: Hallelujah is, to me, the perfect illustration of this strange, slightly melancholy and rather complex story which somehow ended up on the edge of a blockbuster action movie. I love the fan-environment where these stories are found and embraced and loved, because the majority of the population never even knows they're there. It's kinda like jennyo's Lilah love - everything's there, but it takes a special sensitive eye to see it.

And then, this. This is another perfect illustration, of another edge-story. And it's absolutely right, the song's now going to be a mainstay of every pirate playlist I ever make. And the snark! It's not just plain ordinary snark, it's the beautiful playful fun snark of two people whose whole connection is built on the utter insanity of the fact of their chemisty. And Jack's fine with insanity, but James is less familiar with the whole notion and so they're just... eee!

So, yes. This is everything that a Jack/Norrington vid could be, because there's a little bit of uncertainty and angst but mostly there is the wind and the sea and the law and chaos and the snarky sparkiness of them. Brava!

I just...I love your brain, man.

'Cause so much of my sparrington love is a direct result of you, and they are so happy! And bratty to each other, and all snarky. And I love them! And...you articulate so beautifully *why* they're so spectacularly fun and yes. Hi.

*smooch*

[rawumber.livejournal.com]

Purr, and Meep in the happy way!

Love that song still! And, eeeee, so pretty I must use the pretty Sparrington icon you made I borrowed=)

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*giggle* You are adorable. And thank you so, so, so much for hosting my vids.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Haha! Perhaps because I've the advantage of several alcoholic beverages, this is the best song to ever be paired with Captain Jack. I love it!

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*giggle* I was not drunk and I thought it was a pretty spiffy song for Jack when I chose it.

[nessaancalime.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Good choice of clips all around, good snappy editing, like the song, funny.... In short, a great Sparrington vid.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

:) Thank you.

[lizzie-omalley.livejournal.com]

Very fun! Great Job on the matching of sceene and lyric. Happy, funny, silly, sweet. Loves it. Saves it!

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*g* I'm glad you liked it.

[ex-niciasus652.livejournal.com]

Hee! Great fun ensues! Loved the selections you used for the vid. It's a keeper.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Hee. I'm glad you liked it. They are so funny! and bratty! I love them a lot.

*A stalker of your lovely LJ*
That got to be the BEST vid i've ever seen. WaOW!

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

:) Thank you.

[cupiscent.livejournal.com]

oh, I finally got time and space to watch it and eeeeee! Oh, how beautiful, wonderful, clever and cunning. Very well done.

Of course, I'm now rendered useless for anything but plotting Sparrington fic all day. *sigh*

*watches again*

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Yay for plotting Sparrington fic!

I do the dance of joy!

[perian.livejournal.com]

Finally watched it and absolutely adored it! You put the perfect clips with each part of the song -- and it's one of my favourite songs ever *and* Sparrow and Norrington! Weeeeeee!

The funny thing -- I noticed some comments on how much of a Jack song Consequence Free is, but I see it much more as a Norrington song. Jack is *already* consequence free, where Norrington -- especially Norrington a la Sparrington fandom -- very much wishes he *could* be that way. Especially:

I couldn't sleep at all last night
cause I had so much on my mind
I'd like to leave it all behind,
but you know it's not that easy

The clip you put with but you know it's not that easy just breaks my heart. *hugs James*

Umm... yeah, I'll quit babbling now. Thanks so much for this vid!

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yay! I'm glad you liked it!

Dude, I tried *so hard* to make it a Norrington POV for at least part of the thing, but it just...didn't want to work that way.

But yeah. I tried to go for subtlety! with the ships and um, Norrington being the image for most of the "consequence" lines. But eh.

Yay! Yay for happy, if a wee bit melancholy, sparrington!

[yorkshirewench.livejournal.com]

I realise this music video is pretty old but would it be too much trouble to re-upload it please, as your original link is dead. As a big Sparrington fan I'd really love to see it. Cheers!
