Watching vids...
Dec. 7th, 2004 02:38 amI continue to be creeped out when people make romance vids out of pure stalker songs (like Sting saying "Good luck with that," when told by people that I'll Be Watching You was their wedding song -- because he admits that it's a stalker song).
Seeing Sam/Jack set to White Flag (by Dido) is only going to creep me out further. I already think that Sam's feelings for Jack are twisted. Unless you want me to see Sam as a pathetic stalker, I would stay away from a song from the actual point of view of a pathetic stalker. On the plus side, if you shift it far enough to dirtywrong, it might actually get interesting.
Nah.
I will also be creeped out by a Jack/Daniel vid to the song Don't Leave Home (also by Dido), which is incredibly obsessive and co-dependent. "You won't need other friends any more." Eeep. Yeah, let's just live in our two-person bubble and suffocate each other! That sounds like a healthy relationship!
"I'll make you weaker, like a child." Stalking=Love! Slavery=Freedom! We have always been at war with Eastasia!
Shockingly enough, I also had problems with a seemingly well-intentioned and romantic Buffy/Spike vid to Possession (*weeps at the idea of romantic anything being set to Possession* -- the title isn't giving things away here?). This is a song based off of actual letters that Sarah McLachlan received from a stalker! I already find the pre-soul B/S relationship to be sick and disturbing, please don't compound that by making me worry that people see stalking as romantic (which many people clearly do, as evidenced by the vid and by the example of people having I'll Be Watching You as a frickin' wedding song, which is very upsetting, by the way).
One day, I will take one of these songs and make a creepy, stalker-eske vid to it. And then I'll cry when someone feedbacks me on how romantic it is.
I actually adore all the songs in question, but I love them in their creepy-ass stalker context.
