Spuffy Extravaganza! the!SEQUEL: Video (I Still Choose You)

Title: I Still Choose You
Creator: Nvrbnkisst
Form: Fanvid

So, I've decided to post the more romantic vid I made, because my icons in the post up next? Not so much romantic...

Song: Poison & Wine by The Civil Wars
Description: "I don't have a choice, but I still choose you"
Notes: The first time I heard this song, Spike and Buffy instantly popped into my head, however, the singers were singing the wrong parts as far as I thought gender applied to Spuffy. Then it kind of hit me that THAT makes perfect sense. Spike and Buffy and pretty gender swapped/neutral to me which is why this song fits so damn much. So the female vocalist is Spike POV and the male vocalist is Buffy. 

Download links will be available at my website shortly

Oh my god that is gorgeous. I love it. The lyrics really do fit them so perfectly, and I think the gender switch works well. The parts I liked best- or most stuck out to me- were the end and the juxtaposition of the "Dead Things" beating and the "Potential" hand-holding.

Oh, such a lovely start to the season! *runs off to buy this song and add it to my Spike playlist*

Saved this one for last, because this is one of my favorite songs!
Gah. This vid. Soooo good.

Oh, Anne. I already loved this song, so it shouldn't surprise me that you made this so perfectly.

First off, I loved the gender inversion. The dude singing is Buffy, the gal singing is Spike. This is how it goes. Second, EVERYTHING. And I loved the "your hands can heal // your hands can bruise" because yes yes yes. This song feels like it was made for them. Though truly, the tears started pouring out at "I don't have a choice // I still choose you" because yes, she always chooses him. And all the "I don't love you // I always will" is so so so so BUFFY AND SPIKE.

Thank you for this. It's gorgeous and beautiful and you made me ~feel~ and I adore you for that. ♥

OMG, brilliant song choice! I love the Civil Wars! & I thought the same thing about the song being perfect but with the genders swapped. Awesome vid. :)

Pure perfection.

*bows before you and your talent*

Oh my gosh this is just completely gorgeous!!! The song is perfect for them, like you say, and you've done such a good job choosing and weaving in the images. Wow. Seriously.

Hurray vid for making me tear up! So beautiful.

[ellievanna]

Oh wow, this is really beautiful. The song is incredible, and so very them. The gender-bending is awesome too, because that's one of the thing I love most about them, and just, all the juxtapositions and comparisons in this is wonderful. And it made me cry, "I don't have a choice, I still choose you" is just so perfect and I can't not get emotional. ♥

Oh, Anne! This one is beautiful! The lyrics are perfect, gender inversion and all, and that clip at about 1:40 with Buffy walking towards Spike in three different scenes is some of your best editing yet. This vid works on so many different levels, it's like there's too much to talk about! And you've introduced me to another band with a male and female vocalist, haven't you?

[slaymesoftly]

Loved it. The song works beautifully for them. Beautiful images. Thanks!
*makes note of name of the band and song*

I want to cry, no I won't cry!

This is so very Spuffy. I love your editing. Perfect song, perfect vid. Thank you so much, you ignite the flame of love in my heart for this pairing oh so well!

As everyone else has already commented the lyrics in this song were just perfect. And I loved the genderswapping - it felt really natural. I love how you mix clips so that everything feels brand new even when I've seen these moments a million times over.

[aerintine]

Of course this is incredible, of course.

You know, every time I go to watch one of your vids once it's posted, I get this stream-of-consciousness running through my head of our sometimes brief, sometimes hours-long conversations during/about the vidding process. I hear your sweet voice and watch Spike and Buffy and hear the perfect music and it's a symphony of sound and light and happiness.

Your vids make me feel loved. ♥
