He whispers that he loves her but she's probably only looking for se-
So much more than he can ever give,
a life free of lies and a meaningful relationship.

Eeep, is there a codec or something that I need to d/l? I've got windows media, and real player, but my comp doesn't seem to recognise the file :/

And pretty icon!

There should be a free download for the divx codec here (http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/). Let me know if it doesn't work!

I really enjoyed that, the parallels between the two relationships, the way they both were really hopeless, even from the start.

Plus, I have much love for Alicia in particular, so it was great to see her included in a vid.

Thank you!

I really enjoyed that, the parallels between the two relationships, the way they both were really hopeless, even from the start.

I do kinda see those two relationships as showing the types of relationships that will never work for Clark -- with Lana, it was all about denying his alien nature and with Alicia, it wasn't actually all that much better (he let her believe that he was 'like her', a meteor mutant).

Plus, I have much love for Alicia in particular, so it was great to see her included in a vid.

I adored Alicia. If no Lois Lane existed for Clark Kent/Superman, I would have shipped Clark/Alicia over any contenders (I've been a Lois/Clark 'shipper since before Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman aired). Despite her bouts of... insanity.

Wow! What a great vid! I love the way you intercut between the two relationships. You really showed what a journey Clark had gone through with Alicia, and the way that affects/shapes his future relationship(s).

Thank you! I'm so glad that you liked the vid.

I really enjoyed the Clark/Alicia relationship (doomed though it was) and think that it definitely taught Clark some things that it helped him to know.

I'm glad that you liked it! I'm not sure when the song started to feel like Clark's most fucked-up het relationships to me, but I do think that it does fit them.

Thank you!
