For Sarah Jane

[mando3b]

"And though your wristwatch always works/Your necktie never fits . . . "--such a great, great line, and such pure Costello! But then this song is full of great, great lines--lyrical and melodic . . .

[Suzll]

This is beautiful, and all the more poignant in light of Lis Sladen's passing. Goodbye, Sarah Jane, you will be sorely missed :(

[mezzogal]

Goodbye Sarah Jane. RIP.

[TraV333]

R.I.P. Ms. Sladen T_T

Whoever posted this, I love you. As a late 70s/early 80s kid who watched Tom Baker, K9 and Sarah Jane, I became a fan of Aimee Mann in university. This is such a beautiful song, and one that perhaps, the record buying public never realised or understood in 1988 when Til Tuesay released Everything's Different Now. You have done such a marvellous job in making a video that all Dr Who fans - and Aimee Mann - fans will love. Seriously, if I ever meet you, I WILL buy you a beer. Thank you. ;)

[lonerworm]

the costello version is haunting, wish i could find my cd ;(

[mando3b]

Damn, this is a great song! Kudos to Elvis for always being ready to work with other first-rate songwriters, and kudos to Aimee for an overall great career that too few people have heard about.

[greenphantom]

My mistake- it was indeed co-written by Costello and Aimee Mann.

[captslappy]

As far as I know this was the original version. I'd love to find an Elvis Costello version if there is one.

[freakshowmonkey]

Elvis recorded his own version. Look for it on the "All This Useless Beauty" album.

[captslappy]

Thank you for the info. I will have to check that out.

[musoshi]

@captslappy There is indeed an Elvis Costello version. I prefer EC's version, theres much more atmosphere. And though Aimee is great, I feel that EC sings it with more emotion. It's easier to believe the lyrics when he sings them.

[greenphantom]

This song is real vintage Costello- but this version is nice too.

[domstevenson41]

This is a wonderful song, though i could live without the naff Dr Who visuals. For me there's something about EC's delivery of the song that makes it special, that Aimee somewhat throws away in this version, even though i'm a huge fan of hers. I still think it's his tune i'm afraid, but sine his version is not available here, this is great to be going on with.

[masokitten77]

Is there any links to the Elvis Costello version. I grew up hearing this [the Aimee Mann version], and really like it. I also like Elvis Costello, so I should imagine I would like his version of this song.

[ErnieDanzigYEAH]

What a song. Michael Penn does a ripping Elvis impression when he and Aimee play it together.

Aimee is one of my favorite guests on the Adam Corolla radio show: brilliant, beautiful, great sense of humor.

[fleekerbob]

This versions is better than Elvis'...and I'm a huge fan of his. BTW, EC is singing backup on this song.

[cdwhiteakronpoet]

Great Elvis Costello song--And ELVIS COSTELLO WROTE THIS, of course. Nice version, though.

[alfieanthony]

Costello and Mann co-wrote it. Calm down.

[cdwhiteakronpoet]

Oops--my bad:)

[AngusPage]

I doubt it's a little help from Elvis Costello. This song is the first (and my favorite) track on his album "All This Useless Beauty". And if he really did help write it with her, his version is much better. You know, whatever. haha.

[frangipanii]

"the sky was just phosporous stars on long strings"

[ravendon]

Great song and great video. But, you don't have any scenes with Jon Pertwee.

It would be nice to see her first meeting with the 3rd Doctor to juxtapose the sadness of her parting with the 4th Doctor.

[ayjay333]

I've always thought this was the greatest co-lab from 2 of the best writers ever... Aimee will always be my muse!

[MagsRose]

I love this video. I've watched it several times. Your choice of scenes work so well with the music.

[masokitten77]

Great song.  Never heard of the show but looks interesting.

[themetalcloud]

How the hell have you never heard of it?

[masokitten77]

Grad school has a way of keeping one out of the loop on hip things.

[rekar1]

I love this song.

[domane1963]

This is my favourite song of all time so I am delighted to find it being featured!!!

[Gorillamydreamz]

I've always loved Aimie Mann and remember this song she co-wrote with Costello from the eighties after she broke up Til Tuesday and went solo. I alos loved seeing Sarah Jane agan in this episode. A lovely, charming video.

[whiskeyechos]

Oh just lovely. Had me in tears!! I miss Sarah Jane

[skycubphilly]

Just beautiful!! Loved it. Been watching DW since i was a child.

Had a few tears when you showed Doc #4 and Sarah together!

[boobabycluebaby2]

*sniff* I can watch this forever.

[BeckyAnnH]

This was beautiful - it made me cry, and in an entirely good way. Thank you.

[Geezworld234]

wow speachlees sarah's the best dr companion eva

[onaoasis]

Elvis Costello is King ,another one of his amazing songs !!

[saganphile]

My fav youtube vid. Aimee's song is an inspired match to the timeless (re: complex) relationship between Sarah Jane & the good Doctor. In one vid, you have the legendary Tom Baker & Liz Sladen pairing juxtaposed with the Tennant, Piper & Sladen triplet. Pure Magic.

[sjwiseman]

Me too: my absolute fave. The song, the choices of video to go with it. I've watched it waaaay to many times!

[ShurtugalVrael]

tis a fantastic video and it goes with the song really well. not many of them do that well done

[unrealcape]

The more I see of Sarah the more I adore her--she aged dem finely--she must have her own homegrown time machine....

[themetalcloud]

she has aged amazingly well I still cant believe it LOL

[brucefetter]

the whole album "everything's different now" by til tuesday is fantastic. it is very much along the lines of this song. great lyrics, guitar and synth. great late 80s music

[Naz67]

I really liked the video...nicely done. And a great song by Aimee Mann!

[sliders1]

Who sings this song?

[sliders1]

Sorry, nevermind, I didn't see the More part of the description.

[rachellesi]

weird.... i am trying to figure it out... but i don't really get it..

[boobabycluebaby]

I teared up so many times. This is beautiful Thank you for making it.

[leathertuscadero]

man i love Sarah jane so much!

[PaganLyle]

It would be nice to see the Doctor return for Sarah Jane (and K-9), now Rose has gone. I enjoyed the vid and the tribute to Sarah Jane is a nice change from all the Doctor/Rose tributes

[ayaneva]

Now I'm really depressed. I love the vid, though!

[djones7241]

enjoy life

[flyingfairydust]

that was brilliant. i loved it :)

xo

[jackzter]

Loved it. Well done.

[Delixe]

Brilliant

[suburbanbanshee]

Some nice, nice touches there.

[nmegmeg]

really cool. i loved the song and it blended so well with the video

[normaljean]

Great job!

[Z4412]

Truly excellent. A perfect video for a perfect character. Sarah Jane Smith is a legend in her own right. Let's hope her and K-9 return as Private Investigators at the Torchwood Institute in the Doctor Who Spin Off Series Torchwood.

[DieNacht]

You are right, this is the perfect song for Sarah Jane. I love how you've added in footage from Doctor Four as well. I wasn't expecting it but it was a welcome addition. You've done a great job.
