  • oh and it is faved!!!

  • I just thought... how is Amy going to react when she realises her best friend is the reason her daughter dies?

  • great video- what song is it?

  • This is achingly perfect. Beautiful, haunting, wonderful....

    Did you edit the song yourself?  It's exactly right.

  • @eblackwell Thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed it. I did edit the song myself, but the original is lovely too :)

  • @BabelColour I know, I bought it after I saw your video! :)

  • This is such a beautiful song for this video, thank you for uploading it.

  • it make me sad to know that this whole time River was a Pond and after finding that out i can't help but cry at her death

  • ONE OF MY FAVES. JUST CLASSIC-NICE JOB!

  • opss it did no go as that plan

  • Once again, great song, great editing, great video! FANTASTIC!

    River Song, tragic? She's knows a love that too many do not. Weep not for her but for those who'll never know that love.

  • Only someone like River Song would be a perfect companion for The Doctor, separated by time, never in the right order, yet completely perfect for each other....no wonder she's such a tragic figure!

  • Are you planning to edit this to include some clips from The Wedding of River Song? That would take the brilliance way, way over the top. Love all your work!

  • River Song is a wonderful tragic figure in modern mythology.

  • this is awesome.... <3

  • This is so beautiful, it never fails to make me cry.

  • this video shouldve waited until next saturday...

  • Fantastic, great production, great song - only wish I can download it. Reminds me of a young Leonard Cohen. I will remember Asher Quinn.

  • the most contrived character i have ever seen

  • truely wonderful, thank you, x

  • Sublime.

  • AMAZING!

  • i never really was crazy about river, or this whole coupling...until this video.

    it made it seem more romantic and tragic, which is how it should be, i think.

    thanks for showing me a new side to this river/the doctor

    <3

    you're brilliant.

  • I've already commented on this before but had to tell you I recommended it to a Whovian couple for their wedding. :0) Had to watch it again anticipating the start of the new shows (curses on BBC America for not streaming them as BBC UK does! So I'll have to depend on the graces of YouTube or gougers on Itunes). Anyway, thanks again...And rewatching gave me the horrible realization they can't very well do the nebular nasty if his cosmic concoction got blended into her I guess? :0(

  • EPIC... makes me cry everytime....

  • "His future's my past - his firsts are my lasts."

  • At 2:44 what episode is that? O.O

    Btw, I've watched this 5 times in a row now! It's absolutely gorgeous! Along with the Elizabeth Sladen one. I require a bukit for my creys. Brilliant work. ^_^

  • @crusnikgirl42 The Big Bang after River "kills" the Fez :-(

  • @KingLofiOne Oh yeah, now I remember. ^^ Thank you! and R.I.P. Fez... D:

  • Amazing tribute. Absolutely well done

  • At the eventual end of the Alex Kingston story arc, people are going to watch her episodes in reverse broadcast order.

  • im speechless on how beautiful that was

  • Dude this and the tribute to Elisabeth Sladen,,, you have a gift. Thank you.

  • Lovely tribute!

  • Lol

  • Heartbreaking and beautiful

  • River is an amazing companion , such a shame her true identity was utterly predictable :/

  • @RegenerationStorm I agree completely, I'd have much preferred her to remain human but, if she just HAS to be a Time Lord, let her be post-time war Romana or something like that. Don't get me wrong, i'm not too keen on THAT idea either but pulling a Russell T Davies and making every story arc relatein some coincidental way back to the main companion is just annoying from Steven Moffat. It's DOCTOR WHO not DOCTOR AND GIRL!!!

    Sorry, rant over, anyway, I agree completely.

  • @OTimeMasterXO Well, when the series started back in the day it focused more on the companions than the Doctor himself anyway, so I've never really had issue with coincidental stuff surrounding today's companions

  • @RegenerationStorm Sorry, but up until "A Good Man Goes To War" there was no way you could have predicted who River was. So go back and watch "Silence in the Library" or "Time of Angles/Flesh and Stone" and tell me, honestly it was predictable.

  • @DoctorD279 From the begining of Series 5 the most popular fan prediction of River Song's identity was "The Daughter of Amy and Rory" - Sorry but even before "A Good Man Goes to War" River's secret was already revealed.. :/

  • What episodes are 1:51 and 2:44?

  • River Song works for Omega because Omega Return.

  • She whispered into his ear Grandfather because that was his original name.

  • Finally, a nice, good tribute to the lovely, fiery, kick-ass but heartbreakingly tragic River Song, one of the greatest characters in Doctor Who history.

  • This is BEAUTIFUL. I love River, and this is (as one would expect from the Great and Powerful BabelColour) a simply fantastic and moving tribute to her and the greatest story never told!

  • Poor Doctor, he may have Amy as his mother-in-law! XD She's badass and awesome and all, but... uh, yes, I'd rather have a mother-in-law that can't kick my assXD Lucky for him that he got to befriend her BEFORE he married her kid XD

  • A brilliant song for a brilliant character in a brilliant show.Well done!

  • The Story of River Song has to be Doctor Who's greatest tradgedy. From the beginning, we know how it ends.

    And now we know her origin, it's become truely heart-breaking.

  • @seph1r0th400 and sadly I think it is going to get worse now Amy and Rory are leaving! But at least the Doctor could be spared telling them that their daughter died in the library saving him.

  • Brilliantly well made

  • This is an amazing tribute

  • This is a great video. However, the only voice I can ever hear when I see the phrase "Falling through Time" is that of the Dalek Emperor at the end of season 1. I doubt this video will change that, but it's great nonetheless.

  • Wonderful! River Song is a fantastic character.

  • A wonderful job as always! This is the best River Song tribute yet!

  • beautiful music Asher

  • I can't believe ho amazing this song fits into this... I really thought someone wrote it for them.

  • I'm mad at you for making me tear up. I love you for the perfect pairing of song to clips. It's like Asher wrote this song specifically because of River. Unbelievable job to the both of you.

  • Thanks for using my song to this lovely video. I'm a big Dr.Who fan and so are my kids.

  • @asherquinnmusic ... i listen to this song at least once a day (nearly) everyday... i can't go a day without listenig and hearing what i have felt in my heart so so often... so glad this has come full circle....video creator and song originator all together in harmony! ... lyrics and music are nothing short of phenomenal, & video by @babelcolour is simply genius!

  • @asherquinnmusic Thank you for making this wonderful song and thanks for letting the fans use it in this amazing video. It really fits perfectly, and both the song and the visuals compliment each other to new levels of meaning and depth.

  • I continue to be baffled and amazed with every video you do. Up until now I wasn't too big of a fan of River Song, but I think that just got changed. That was incredibly well done, and the music magically matched everything.

  • Beautiful.

  • wow, another fantastic vid from you! How do you do it??? People ask if we guessed who she was, my son told me who she was (or guessed) after the astronaunt killed the doctor in episode 1 of this season.. very astute 11 year old!

  • Amazing video, works so well with the song you chose!

  • Amazing video, works so well with the song you chose!

  • This is a perfect tribute to River Song and this song is beautiful and I can't believe how well it fits for River and the Doctor's relationship. Lovely job Babelcolour :)

  • It's like this music was written for Doctor Who!!!

    Amazing video by the way!!! Keep up the brilliant work!

  • was it a coincidence that Alex Kingston played a lawyer on SVU named Miranda Pond or did NBC know?

  • This made me tear up, and that's hard to do!  Excellent excellent job!

  • Beautiful video!

  • This is lovely you really capture River Song

  • Oh my friggin god. i'm here in full on tears... just... wow... simply... wow. i'm going to share this with tons of my friends, but i feel bad for the, cuz i know they are going to respond and feel as sad as i do now... just... wow... i've never felt this emotional over a video.... river really is..., like this video ...simply... the best. period.

  • I do not and will never believe Steven Moffat had this planned when Alex Kingston first appeared. How could he know. David Tennant and Russell T Davis hadnt left yet and he had no idea he would take over.

  • @Teeny123abc He DID know by that point...

  • This, yet again, shows how brilliant you are BabelColour. I, along with so many others, love your videos. Your video editing skills are brilliant and this video is so beautifully crafted and is pure genius. I only wish there was a 'Love' button for this video. Thankyou for such a wonderful tribute.

  • River Song. for me, THE greatest mystery character ever on television.

  • Once more you've made a WONDERFUL video!!!!

  • three cheers for Mr. Humphries! Babelcolour is, without a doubt, one of the reasons to watch YouTube. :o)

    Three cheers for Alex Kingston, too. I've always had a bit of a thing for her ever since the hospital drama "ER".

  • i cried. a lot. damn me and my soft and squishy timey-wimey-ness!

  • A very lovely job. ^_^

  • very nice. thanks for posting.

  • I can't believe how well this song fits with River Song and the Doctor.

  • @skysight49 - It's a beautiful song, isn't it!

  • @BabelColour

    Absolutely!

  • Fantastic vid as ever, love riversong ,she is brilliant .

    Excellent choice of clips too, especially the one at the beginning ,the 11th looks almost intimidating!

    This new series has really restored my faith in DW, so far it has been excellent.

  • Just perfect. You are truly phenomenaly talented at making videos, but I think this and your SJ tribute are my favourites.

  • @Meadowlark87 - Really? Thank you. I'm glad you think I'm getting better at it!

  • @BabelColour Seriously. I wish I had half the talent you have. They're fantastic...and going on my ipod if that is okay with you?!

  • WOW! this is so beautiful!! is there somewhere it can be bought or downloaded

  • @steffrox oh just seen the link :D

  • @steffrox You can buy the album at asherquinn.co.uk

  • Wow! I assumed the song was made for the video...And you're not doing these things for money? No worries. For love is more satisfying than for money but you obviously have a director's soul. And I'm sure steven Moffat will write himself out of the lie you exposed (that River is Amy's daughter as obviously the Amy character didn't exist when River was written). But for folks who recreate the universe & all time & space to avoid bad script holes it will be okay. And you'll get your recognition ne

  • @Arieliondotcom - That is a lovely post. Thank you for the kind words. I'm so happy fellow fans have enjoyed it!

  • You have great talent, not only in editing the videos but in choosing fantastic songs (that most of the time I've never heard before) that fit absolutely perfectly to the person or subject of your tribute. Always the best tributes, your time making them is hugely appreciated.

  • @gd070510 - It is worth it when fellow fans are as kind and complimentary as you. Thank you.

  • Wow... Beautiful

  • I love all your videos Stuart (AKA BabelColour). Absolutely wonderful. Why you are not doing this professionally I don't know. I agree that the BBC should snap you up.

    I know, though, that working for another means that you can't be a creative as you can be as with working as you please, maybe that's why.

    Thankyou for sharing these beautiful videos with us. We love you mate!

  • @SuperBoris70 - A lovely post, Thank you. I'm flattered you've enjoyed the work so much.

  • Why hasnt the BBC hired you yet :) The things you could do with Dr Who and more...

  • @trekwho - Yes. Let's start a petition immediately! lol

  • Beautiful - as always, but if not moreso. And an absolutely perfect choice of song.

  • This song is AMAZING!!!!!!!............wher­e can i get a copy?....Btw yet again a beautiful crafted peice of art in video form!!! Beautiful!! xxxx

  • @tardis2013 - You can buy the album at asherquinn.co.uk

  • Lovely vid. Still trying to get my head round end of episode 7. It even out did Fringe's season finale shock.

  • Once again, great choice of clips and music.. You succeeded in capturing the very essence of River Song: mystery, sadness, cheekiness, charisma...

    This is probably the best River Song video I ever seen.

  • @3LIYAH83 - You're very kind. I'm very pleased to know it's been enjoyed.

  • I don't know how you do it, but yet another amazing vid! Bravo!

  • @psirus1979 - Thank you. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

  • Honestly, this is amazing.

  • @kiitty99 Thank you very much.

  • *BRAVO* !!! You are the best!!! Everything you do is BRILLIANT! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!! :-)

  • @bnsa Thank you :)

  • *blows his nose* Really I'm not crying.. that'd be.. unmanly..

  • I used to dislike River... I just really couldn't like her, she irritated me for whatever reason. >.< I kind of put up with her, grinning and baring it, trusting that Moffat would make her someone good. And now we know who she is...I see her COMPLETLEY differently. o.o I suddenly like her and see much more depth to her character, haha. I really need to go and rewatch her episodes backwords along her timeline. It must be really hard to not acknowledge your parents (who haven't a clue who you are)

  • I'm really glad to see a video from you that doesn't have to do with someones death.

  • Absolutely beautiful. Thankyou :)

  • Pause at 0:52, its a good pic.

  • Amazing

  • All your videos are amazing, but I think this has to be the most beautiful one yet. The music, the pacing, the editing...I can't stop watching it! Bravo!!

  • @Sarlania - You're extremely kind. Thank you. I'm so happy people are enjoying it!

  • Amazing, heart-rending. So extremely appropriate and creative. (and it is creepy that Amy's daughter will probably marry the Doctor....very creepy) Even so the love relationship is haunting.

  • Amazing, heart-rending. So extremely appropriate and creative. (and it is creepy that Amy's daughter will probably marry the Doctor....very creepy) Even so the love relationship is haunting.

  • This is wonderful. Well done once again, sir!

  • This is SO GOOD. You know all the Doctor/River fandoms have exploded with this, right? Everybody's saying it's the best Doctor/River vid out there. And I agree! It's wonderful!

  • @XNancieRoseX - I wasn't aware of it's reception outside Youtube, but it's lovely to know people are enjoying it! She's such a wonderful character and a beautiful lady.

  • @BabelColour Well then yes, you should know it's pretty legendary amongst all the River fandoms. She is a totally wonderful character and so gorgeous I could cry every time I look at her. I have to admit to being a tiny bit in love wth both River and Alex.

  • that was just amazing :D awesome stuff!!

  • I <3 BabelColour Tributes!

  • The Song is Falling Through Time by Asher Quinn

  • amazing wonderful tribute what is the name of the song like I've already said your brill

  • Fantastic again

  • Another instant classic.

    Hope youre well mister. I dont go on the forums anymore, so not heard from you in a while

    hugs

    Starkers

  • Great!!! :D

  • You have stunned me yet again. This is a beautiful tribute to a most magnificent companion. Bravo!

  • For the first time ever, on one of your videos, Im have a negative comment. Its not about the video itself, at this point Im gonna no longer complement you because saying you make the best videos is like saying the sky is blue, its the most obvious, consistent thing in the world

    No, my negative comment is going to be why in the hell do we have to share youtube with idiots who dislike this amazing video, seriously! lol

    And cant wait to see you get another well deserved mention in the next DWM!

  • Perfect Lyrics :D

  • :( River Song died...

  • This is brilliant!

  • 0:56

    The best moment :)

  • Just one word 'beautiful'

  • Wonderful, as ever, Babel is a genius

  • Nice work!

  • Beautiful as always :~)

  • River.....stunning. How do you keep coming up with so many wonderful ideas?

  • thank god i read the description i went to wacth it and i was like- oops! gotta wait until saturday- thanks for the heads up!

  • Very emotional video <3 love doctor who so much and it just seems to get better and better every series. Fantastic video, made me cry btw x

  • Such a beautiful song and a great choice of compilations

  • Very e

  • *Reads uploader comments - hits pause* *bemoans the fact that episode 7 won't be available until next week!* Oi, itunes. but I want to watch BabelColours work now. :'(

    Alright, pouting is done, I shall be good (Thank you BabelColour for posting that it would contain spoiler) And will return next week to watch and comment - but I'm sure it will be good, all of your videos have been of suburb quality.

  • so so so moving, thank you for such a wonderful video. this makes the character of River Song even more mysterious and magical. well done :)

  • She has been a very good person in the series but I just think know we know how she is it spooler it.

  • Beautiful.....just beautiful....the music fits perfect, all these lovely scenes....

    I am still thinking 'bout the last ep, it was such a surprise for me in the end.....

    Very touching video, emotional, really great!!!!

  • This was simple beautiful :') although i figured it out 2 or 3 episodes ago it was still such a surprise i guess .. this series has such a story its unreal

  • such a perfect song. just perfect. and brilliant editing. an amazing video.

    also, i started tearing up by the end! so moving! x

  • WOW - that was pure brilliance!! But I think you should have warned to have tissues handy before watching... I know I cried. lol Awesome in every possible way!!

  • Gorgeous. She's the only reason I watch any more.

  • Brilliant! I love River Song and I love your tribute to her and her relationship with the Doctor. "Two souls together, forever apart. Falling through time." Fantastic! Great job as always sir.

  • wow this is brilliant :D

  • That was lovely & such a lovely song too. It could have been written for them.

    Thank you for sharing this x x

  • It's wierd seeing River with the 10th Doctor. Who seems to have changed so much since her first (or last) appearance.

  • Simply stunning!

  • Wow..... not bad. I was kind of mixed about the whole episode seven but you brought it all into perspective but still it's kind of creepy....that The Doctor falls for Amy's daughter. That's kind of well.....just weird if you think about it hard enough.

  • Another great job. Even with the spoilers I'm still not sure where all this is heading.. It's okay though. Still think this could be the best season ever (still "The Key of Time" at the moment). River Song has been a great character.

  • That episode just came out like 2 days ago! wow your fast!

  • everyone of your videos are so amazing, im starting to run out of creative things to say

  • @darknusisrising - Every word of support is appreciated. That you for being so kind.

  • Beautiful video and excellent song choice.

  • Hello Sweetie!

  • Once again you stun me with, with this artistry! no other word for it, artistry. Beatiful and spot on as always

  • @Blonfelfotch - You're very complimentary. I'm flattered and also delighted that you enjoy the work!

  • really beautiful...the song and the clips your chose work SO well together!

  • Beautiful! So very, very sad. . .
