Wonderful, a friend showed me this and this is the first time I heard the song. It went so well with the video and with Arwen. 10/10

[ro7477]

Sara - will you marry me!

[vandan3]

This has to be about my most favoritest Sarah McLachlan song. Good job on the visuals. Very apropo(sp?). Yippee!!

[miraclemagnet]

the video makes me want to be a freaking knight in shimmering platinum to a special huckleberry damnsel. love is making a comeback....where's my freaking sword?

[decodf]

Keep the good work Andi!!!

[arrowcarver]

What was the song that ended at 0:08?

[Andiscribbles]

The Dream Within, by Lara Fabian

[Mandasy123]

Hahaha I wanna watch lotr now! Great Video!

[KiKisBelly]

thank you for a true work of art - perfect. perfect. perfect.

[agonystes]

Love will only exist as long as you can preach it and move on.

Please do not put love into one book or thought for it exists in every idea only it must be expressed unto many that have hope for another generation. I love you all.

Goodbye for now.

[agonystes]

I just figured I'd address a comment. My life will take you into fearlessness when all of your religions collide. I will still be here for you but they will collide when I die. Please know that everything you believe is true but only until your heart subsides its regret will you understand.

At one point you will realize that I am more than anything you have read, nor anything you believe.

You are the struggle to find comfort.

You are the true existence.

You are what people consider love.

[Aloniel]

Sarah's last name is actually spelled McLachlan, just so you know. Check her album covers if you don't believe me. With that aside, this is a gorgeous video, and thank you so much for making it. You definately deserve the win on that one.

[Andiscribbles]

Thanks so much! *edits right away*

[U2BABY6]

Agreed with previous post, this video DERVES first place! Made with passion, thank you!

[agonystes]

I'm at that edge every night.

I have many who love me. I have always known I would die early I just fight to end what sorrows I feel. My mother died in my arms gasping and yet lifeless. i tried everything I could to save her...i couldn't. I am ready every night. I drink to the point where I might be asble to do it but I just can't. Hopefully I will just drink myslef to death. I am so happy during the day but so unhappy when I am alone in the dark....

[agonystes]

Thank you to the people that responded to this post. It is not necessary. I can't leave yet. I have too many people that depend on me. It is just something that I hide within myself. Thank you. I know I will leave soon but I will let it happen when it happens. Love what you have. What you love won't always be around.

[agonystes]

I know that we have lifee as it presents it to us. I shall show you all something different when I die. It will be to help you all. You don't understand now but when it happens it will make sense. I love mankind. I just dislike how we hurt ourselves. I will one day take all of your pain away. As my pain resides your pain will belong to it and it will never trouble you.

[torakitsune]

May I inquire why you're being emo/philisophical? I mean it's very interesting, I was just wondering what incited it.

[Andiscribbles]

Lol, I was wondering the same thing.

[agonystes]

You know I was really going through a lot when I wrote this. To be quite honest I was so drunk I don't remember writing this other than the fact that I got comments regarding it. when I read it again its actually quite eloquent but odd at the same time. I believe what I was meaning to say is that we take for granted the love that we have around us sometimes. Sometimes we feel alone when we were surrounded by friends the entire time.

[MsBailing]

drink pretends to connect us.Its pseudo connecting tho.That's why you still feel alone after,let me guess,the fourth drink even tho the second and third promised allsorts of harmonies.It's only in the cold light of day that we truly connect and that is terrifying for some of us.It,s worth it tho,becoz we are(worth it that is).

[agonystes]

No not at all. Though alcohol is an addictive killing device, it also has a wonder ability of bringing out inhibition. Hemingway Is a perfect example. I would not change anything I have ever done in my life because it has made me who I am, and I like who I am. The drink is not bad only how it is used. If you can appreciate what you have as a result than that is definately something. I appreciate what I wrote, especially the fact that I do not remember writing it.

[torakitsune]

Great.

[Hookj5]

This video deserves a first place. Great match of lyrics to the story.

[Andiscribbles]

Thank you very much!

[agonystes]

thank you for posting this. :)

[muse416]

Lovely!

[kaefer5788]

The best LOTR-Arwen fanvid I've ever seen (really!!) and thank you I got to know music made by Sarah McLaughlin what makes my days better. thank you so much!!!

[sharona1981]

This is one of the sexiest songs I've ever heard. A real "bedroom" song,if you catch my drift,lol.

[Waynos73]

Yes, I have had lots of bedroom fun with

this song - it is simply perfect for shagging. However I think Sarah's Witness is

far sexier song - but i think that's the sexiest song ever written period. lol

[charlotte1704]

this song is amazing, the best one i've heard so far, but i think the version from afterglow live is much better! it has sooooo much more passion in it!

[anatfo]

What song is put as the in/outro?

It sounds like a hummed version of 'stand my ground' from 'within temptation'

[Andiscribbles]

"The Dream Within" by Lara Fabian

[anatfo]

ah k, thanks :)

[abbyinertia]

Beautiful song choice, one of my fav love songs, heh. This is also one of my fav movie couples, so kudos on the choices and editing.

[BrotherIan]

I'm a new sarah fan, not familiar with a lot of her music yet... Thanks for this introduction, Absolutely beautiful!

[Toolshed76]

If you like this you should check out her Afterglow Live DVD. It's amazing.

[jennaleebee]

Fumbeling Towards Ecstasy (the album) is wonderful. You can litsen to it from the 1st track to the end, and it is a story.

Everything she does is wonderful, but that album especially.

[cravingart]

WOW! Thanks,Andiscibbles for your share.I am not a LotR fan..however,I truely enjoyed these images and the story took on a different meaning for me because you put it to the right music.Early Sara was flawless to me. Cheers to you!

[Andiscribbles]

Thank you!

[19SISYS50]

First class work.

[19SISYS50]

It`s a fantastic version from this song,

so wonderful slowly.

thanks for posting, Andiscribbles.

Regards, Rainer

[glen0ck]

Fantastic video

[Goldberry2007]

Jau! What a find. I'm a huge LotR fan and this is my most favourite song from Sarah. Thanks for posting. Loved the video but would have put Arwen and Aragorn meeting on the bridge at the end myself. Thanks for putting this on youtube. Love it!

[Andiscribbles]

Thank you!

[littlemarinebrat]

Beautiful.Absoulutley beautiful.

[manudo]

wonderful :)

[trinaa15]

Gorgeous vid..congrats! You earned it! I love Arwen and LOTR AND SARAH! one of my fave songs! Again, applause to you!

[shpgrl1026]

Absolutely beautiful, I loved it. Very well done!

[charmedphoebe13]

i love it!! breathtakingly beautiful video. im glad you won the contest

[1Straightarrow]

Like all art I'm sure it will convey alot of things to alot of people. I guess I could abbreviate my post but I thought "righteous vid man" was not enough kudos to your effort. In a low brow way it is kinda fun to just oggle Liv Tyler, cause, well ahhh, she is a lovely creature, elf princess, for sure.

[1Straightarrow]

I really liked it. I felt it, so to speak. I had a brief glimpse of Arwen and felt those pangs of that tender iron sword a woman can wield as she cuts a path to your heart. Those eyes and that earnest faith she has in him....draws me in and then the painful realization that I am bereft of those things in any meaningful measure.

[Andiscribbles]

Wow. I'm glad this video conveyed all that to you. :)

[salome2000]

Congratulations!, well deserved.

[SerenityArwen]

Amazing video :) I love it. Beautifully edited, and the transition between clips was wonderfully done. The graphic at the beginning is also amazing.

[salome2000]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

[ScenicMike1]

Very very nice...I love the Sara people around here. She is my muse.

[Andiscribbles]

Thanks! You should check out my "World on Fire" video. It's my personal favorite of all the ones I've made. And Sarah is really a very amazing and inspiring musician. She sings like an angel!

[ScenicMike1]

After watching your Sara videos...I made one of my ownj. It was a three hour jobbie and probably sucks...But it was fun and I learned a lot from it for the next time!

[warg29]

Excellent. Moves beautifully with the music and despite the slow rhythm never loses a kind of positive tension. Only complaint. :) While the expressions were wonderfully well chosen to suit the character and the lyrics, it would have been less 'oppressing' to use more visual imagery other than the facial shots. Still a *great* job. Deserved to win.

[Andiscribbles]

Thanks for the comment! I'm grateful you took the time to critique me-- I'll definately think on that next time I'm making a video. :)

[LOTRERfan]

Wow, you took my breath away with this video. I don't know if you get asked this a lot or no, but is there anyway you could send me a link or something so I could download this? I don't want to post it anywhere I just want a copy on my computer because I go home from college in a few days for the summer and I don't have internet.

[acoupleanutcases]

As I said, lovely, very lovely, but I'm curious: is there a reason for different-sized screens for different clips? I don't particularly mind it, especially in a video as well edited as this, but it can make the difference between a great video and a superb one. And you handled the song length beautifully! I'd forgotten how long that song was, and worried for a second about all the space to fill up, but I needn't have. Such a lovely vid. Thank you for posting it.

[Andiscribbles]

Ah, you caught me. The differences are purely that the DVD's I ripped the clips from are different-- my Fellowship and Two Towers copies were fullscreen and my RotK was widescreen.

Thanks for your comments. They just brighten my day up!

[EpitomeofInnocence]

Holy! This is wonderful! I am totally impressed! The song is just, perfect!

[PrincessFantaghiro]

beautyful!!!! please please make more!!!

[sassygermanchik]

I also cant believe the clarity of the video quality! My compressing program blurs mine so. Well you definitely did an exemplary job and I'm impressed with this one.

[Andiscribbles]

Thank you! (By the way, I used AoA Dvd Ripper)

[sassygermanchik]

Thank you, I'll definitely check into that!

[sassygermanchik]

Congratulations to the contest winner, there's no way that anyone can beat this magnificent entry. I think I'm going to concede to the master here. Great work! BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT!

[colorados2kca]

GREAT JOB! i love sarah mac! this song and what you have done with this video has given me a new link to remembering this song forever!

[Andiscribbles]

Thank you very much!

Hopefully the judges will agree... :)

[Maelanna]

Such a beautiful and moving video. Wonderful job hun. You're right the song does fit Arwen very well. :)

[acoupleanutcases]

Yay, what a beautiful video! I'm so glad you've submitted your entry. Very, very well done.
