  • 1 person is all alone with their retardation.

  • wow wow wow this is beautiful and it made me cry! Goes straight to my favourites..

  • wow odd pairing I love the song and it is amazing how much the two tie together, well done 10 thumbs up, and I agree, y2jholic, I nearly teared up too and I have watched hundreds of eric and true blood clips :) great work !!

    Can't help but love the bad guy, who is secretly a good guy gone bad, trying to be good again, oh yeah I get turned on just thinking about it lol

  • my lord! fantastic!!!! :)

  • love Love LOVE this vid!!! Bummed, tho, that it's no longer mobile-friendly! :-(

  • Leaves me stuck for words - not easily done, thank you!

  • I absolutely loved this! It fits him perfectly. At first I was just like i'll watch this and see how it is without really the intention of finishing it, but after I started watching this I was amazed! It really drew me in and I could watch it again and again! Everything went together perfectly!

  • Absolutely love this. Gorgeous.

  • Not only did you do a beautiful job with the editing, but capturing the soul of Eric. You did in 5 minutes what the show has taken Seasons to do. Show the best parts of him, good, bad, ugly, sexy, dishonest, beautiful, and hurt. Which is why those of us who love his character do so with the same passion he plays him. Great job. I hope he watches it somehow.

  • very well done!

  • OMG that was amazing. The song and the images work beautiful together.

  • the best of the best

  • Oh.

    My.

    God.

    This made me cry. No video on Youtube has EVER made me cry!

    Honestly, this song fits Eric more perfectly than any sexy upbeat jam or slow sensual love song, because this song...this song really hits home.

    Thank you so much, and know that this video really impacted my opinion of Eric!

    =D

  • this is the best true blood fan video i've seen. good job

  • nice job! loved it!

  • Every time I hear this song now, I think of Eric and the books >.< xD

  • i got the chills! great vid! Might be the best i've seen

  • I FREAKING LOVE IT!!! YOU'RE AMAZING! I love how much you included Pam into the video, too. I see a lot of Eric videos that feature Sookie and Godric but none or hardly any Pam. She's his child. She's been with him for over a hundred years. More Eric videos should feature her.

  • Pure Eric, Love it !!!!

  • Poignant relationship between the song and the footage with a gritty, rough, poetic transition between clips. There is also a professionalism to the way in which colour is employed to show time/emotion and you have successfully portrayed the different roles Eric plays and the roles that other people play in his 'empire of dirt'. It is, indeed, a spectacularly fitting song, one chosen and played with imaginatively and sombrely. I feel you have punctured the wooden persona Eric unfortunately has.

  • the last minute or so gave me goosebumps. good job

  • amaizing video! Thank you!

  • Amazingly beautiful! the best video of Eric ever!

  • my favorite song, my favorite song, you are truly amazing <3

  • One of the best fan videos that I have ever seen! Well done!

  • Beautiful! Eric is my favorite character on True Blood, he's so complex and wounded and i LOVE him!!

  • This is so awesome.

  • Wow!!! That was just......wow. I am speechless. :'D

  • ive read the books. i watch the series. but that was amazing. just downright amazing.

  • Amazing video & the song matches perfectly with everything that has gone one with Eric!

  • so just thought i should let you know i have seen ALOT of eric/ sookie and eric vids even though i didn't watch the show or read the books, but thanks to this vid (and you, obvs!) i'm now doing both :D

    Great vid please make more

  • This is so great! I love this song, and of course Eric (who doesn't?)

    Thank you so much for making this! It's beautiful :)

  • Absolutely fabulous. Wonderful editing, good choice of music. I never realized how amazing "Hurt" is for a vampire. Keep up the good work. :]

  • you have done a wonderful job on this video it is amazing :) 

  • I think Eric has a far more complex and inturiging character line, not to mention he's utterly sexy with the least that he reveals about himself

  • so amazing!!!!!!!!great job!!!

  • the perfect song to Eric. It almost made me cry but thats fine. Remeber Eric is not always the bad guy.

  • This video still makes me tear up and have chills running through my body. It's just so beautifully done. My all time favorite fanvideo.

  • i fell for him all over again. 'sigh

  • This is so beautiful I've always loved Johnny cash's version of this song and you have used it wonderfully to show the complexity of eric's character

  • So beautiful! Love it! 

  • OMG.. that video was awesome.. gave me goosebumps...

  • Wow truly amazing and breathtaking! Made me fall for Eric/Alex even more! <3 Awesome job love. Thank you <3

  • @nupdawg thank you so much for this video Eric is my fav from true blood and i agree with you even in the books he is something more than everyone else. he is what every woman wants in her life the dark and the light of a man. this is my fav song and i always thought of it as his theme song but then i found your vid and im happy someone else thinks like me :)

  • Wonderful video!!!!

  • breathtaking <3

  • Well done! The song is so appropriate- & Eric is so HOT!! I think you captured him perfectly =)

  • And that's why real vampires don't sparkle!!!!!1one

  • I honestly think this is the best damn Eric/True Blood video i have seen yet on youtube, so much so it made me tear up watching. Fantasic job!

  • Just...stopping by to say there has never been a more perfect vid in existence. There just hasn't. Go away, you're too good at this and you make me feel all the feelings.

  • This son g reminds me way to much of myself. I love the video btw can't wait for it to come back on

  • I adore this.

  • excellently well put together! And i love Johnny cash's version of 'Hurt', it does brilliantly with the way you have put this together - Thanks for sharing!

  • between the song and the way it was edited, i was almost in tears by the end. it was such a great video! good on you!!! :)

  • This is so perfect... The song and images were really well picked, I'm amazed. *-*

    God I love Eric so much. Antiheros always win my heart.

  • love the video, love the song.... great work...

  • SIMPLE THE BEST

  • Amazing video, already one of my favourite's!

  • he"s my favorite charater

  • The last half a minute of that video is soo amazing as far as Eric Sookie montages go. Love Johnny Cash as well, brilliant song. Xx

  • amazing video, it really shows that Eric is a more complexed character when you think of it! loved it

  • Esencialemtente Eric Northman, tal y como es él. Me ha gustado mucho éste video y ya lo tengo en mis favoritos... Well done, congratulations Sparralex

  • Simply beatiful. Really loved it, fantastic work and even more fantastic music that you chose :). Especially that 'My empire of dirt' line.

  • This is one of the best fan video's I've ever seen, showed how much there is to Eric and there character development. Amazing stuff, fanstastic music choice.

  • This is beautifully done. I don't normally like fan videos, but this is amazing. Excellent timing, beautifully edited, wonderful color saturation, geez, I could go on and on. Stunning. Just... stunning.

  • just beautiful!!!

  • I'm still crying. The choice of music and the timing of the scenes is perfect and I LOVE that you decided to show another side of Eric's character than just "OMG, he's so sexy". He's much deeper and truly deserves a tribute like this. Thank you for sharing, excellent job!

  • This video is simply beautifull, it resumes a lot about Eric and it´s not so easy to do that. It´s sexy, and sad, and dark, just like Eric.The song really fits. Congratulations.

    I usually fall for some characters, but Eric blew my head out :)

  • That was simply fantastic! Deffinately the best video I've ever seen done for this show!!! You could not have chosen a better song! And the graffics... omg that was amazing! I'm going to be raving about this all day!

  • el mejor video de eric northman

  • I'm addicted to see it, at least once a day. I love just love Eric...

  • Hauntingly beautiful...just like Eric

  • It's beautifully done.

  • Waaaait, what is the name of the episode when Eric kissed Sookie at 2:38?

  • @MrsOcta It's Sookie's dream in ep10 s3

  • one of the best vid I've ever seen!!

  • I love you...

  • I'm re-watching this right now!

    and its still an amazing video. So perfect.

  • Amazing work! Congrats! :D

  • i love it. indeed the song is made for the character.Just perfect!

  • This video is simply fantastic! It gave me the "jibblies" in a good way ;]

    I love watching/listening to it. <3

  • this is amazing... i love it...

  • This is so heartbreaking.

  • Beautifully done! 

  • very well done, best eric vid ive seen :)

  • Loving this vid, the song goes so well with Eric. I love at 1.25 where the lyric is "empire of dirt" and you have eric watching the stripper. It just works really well

  • Wonderful video, well done! I love Eric. I can't wait for next season, he should have a very big part if they keep a little true to the books.

  • I loved your video Eric is my favorite!

  • Great musician, composition and story development. I really enjoyed it. You put two of my faves together in Cash & Northman. The song is descriptive of Eric's journey. Cash has always been a powerful story teller & it's just plain fun to hear him sing Eric's story.

  • it's as if the song was written for Eric

    perfect

    good job =]

  • Amazing. This gave me chills...Eric is an amazing and complex character, and you showed that really well.

  • WOW!! this video is absoultely the best i've ever seen!! O.O

    i love eric and i love this song.. i couldn't believe how well they went together and how you really got the videos to match to the song and really show the emotion of eric! i LOVE this video!! <3

  • Gosh, this song is so heartbreakingly beautiful.

    It's a very simple based melody, with almost just the guitar and Cash's voice, yet so complex, intense and emotional.

    It's beffiting of a character as deep as Eric.

    Congratulations on an amazing video! I could feel my eyes blurring with emotion.

  • Great video! You turned this one out well. :) Hope to see more from you.

  • This is one of the best fan videos I've seen for a long time. Thank you ;)

  • That was a simply perfect video for Eric Northman! You totally nailed all the complexities of this character with this song and how you edited to it - his loves, hates, regrets...just an awesome job! And Alex is so great in this role. He really is more than just a beautiful face. I just can't understand why he hasn't even been nominated for an Emmy for this!

  • What a great song to have an Eric video to.  I've loved this song for a long time and you set it perfectly to depict the complexity behind Eric. Very well done!!!

  • OMG this song is just perfect! I have always loved this song..such emotion. And wow combined with Eric..its like BAM! Great job!!

  • Wow that was awazing!!!

  • GREAT video!! Great song for Eric!!

  • Awesome!

  • Wow!! Simply stunning! In 3 minutes and 36 seconds you've really managed to capture Eric perfectly.

  • Amazing. Simply freaking amazing. I love Eric, and this capture him perfectly. I don't care what anyone says, Eric may not love many, but those he does love, he loves deeply and intensely.

  • This is just amazing. I've always loved this song, but seeing it like this...it's just perfect. Thank you so much.

  • I love it! For everyone saying that Alan Ball loves Bill better, I would like them to see this vid. I think Eric is a much more complex character and has a better story arc, whereas Bill's just revolves around sookie. I love Eric! Thanks for an awesome vid!

  • @nupdawg aw thank you! and that is so, so true. i didn't really think about that. eric is a much stronger and well-rounded character!

  • @nupdawg I agree!! Bill's such a bitch!

  • @nupdawg It's true that Eric is a more well rounded, complex and strong character than Bill but it's obvious in the way that, at least on the surface, Alan Ball chooses to focus on Bill and Sookie's relationship as to that of Sookie and any of her other suitors. Already they've written off Eric and Sook's relationship and have her leaning towards Bill again even though it is completely out of character for her and opposite of the books. Great video, though, it made me cry!

  • Excellent video. I love the song, the words, the mood, the editing... very emotional and it fits Eric wonderfully. ;)

  • This is AMAZING. I have no words.

  • Perfection!

  • God he is sex on legs i swear amazing song choice amazing vid ;)

  • Awesome video! Me and my friends think this is a brilliant song choice. They want to know if you could do a True Blood video with the song When the man comes around.

  • First, how I miss your TB videos Alex!! Don't ever leave us!!

    The video, wow. I just can't articulate any coherent thoughts! Johnny Cash with Hurt + Eric?? Spot on! Everything is beautiful! The coloring, the scene selection, the song, your editing! I like it smooth and simple like this, it shows more I think! Both moments when the pacing of the song rises and becomes faster are so beautiful, love the scenes you selected, and the end with all those E/S moments, pure win!

  • Eric (and Pam) are the main reasons I'm still watching TB to be honest and unfortunately because it was once my faved show... A character study like this makes me feel sad about the way they're ruining the show for me ;_;

  • I have three words for you- I Am Hooked. The enitre video captures his true personality and relationships with the people around him. Well done. now time to watch a third time XD

  • simply the best.

  • I can describe this with only one word - masterpiece!

  • This gave me chills! Its absolutely beautiful!! Have to watch it again now :D

  • that was freakin' awesome - beautiful character driven video, very powerful ☺

  • I love how you captured his relationship with Sookie, Pam and Godric. They are the most important persons in his life. Oh I still have chills running through me

  • @enorth74 Agreed. In the show, he's depicted as being shaped by the love that has been around him. (His parents, Godric, and Pam.) He's very much more human because of those relationships, and while Bill is also complex he's also less... compelling, only because he's "young" and only infatuated with Sookie because of her blood.

  • Comment removed

  • So beautiful and heart wrenching :'( Eric is my all time favorite fictional character ever! Thank you!

  • Perfect! ç_ç

    Eric is the main reason im still watching the show and why i will come back in June...so thanks for that!

  • Brilliant, a great tribute to the clearly the best character in the true blood series

  • Amazing really.

    Eric is so interesting, i love him.

    I havent been watching TB for awhile, i thought there was some Eric/Sookie action by now.. kinda disapointing xD but i will come back to TB today, i miss Eric .

    <33

  • what can i say? BEST VIDEO ABOUT ERIC NORTHMAN EVER!!

  • Amazing..

    There are no words to describe what I just saw...

    I couldn't look away, my eyes were just locked on my screen.

  • I just couldn't stop watching! This was incredible! WOW so much things I loved about this vid : Godric, Pam, his parents! And also, everytime Cash says "You can have it all... My empire of dirt" you chose amazing scenes to show us how he doesn't care about Fangtasia or his money. Also, the scene with Bill at the cement depot was so well edited. And when it says "everyone goes away at the end"... and everyone he loved disapeared : TEARS! Great job, this was AMAZING !

  • (2) And I love how you showed his relationships with Sookie, Pam, and Godric too, as they sort of define parts of him. And gaaaah don't get me started on the editing. Your pacing was flawless.

I wanted to cry for Eric so hard in this vid, he has had it so rough.

  • GORGEOUS!
