Afraid to sleep - Dido Final version

Things I did :
- I walk to the beat in the beginning, the moment my foot hits the stairs the music really starts.
- With the introduction of the instruments I introduce the problem of tossing and turning.
- That picture in the frame when I pour the wine is a picture that kills me, it was my favorite picture of Von and I.
- We really did sleep in that room together.
- I really have woke up and looked at the body pillow like that, some dreams feel more real than others.
- Although in some shots you see another camera it was just on the endtable, I only used one as the other sucks.
- Blades of grass are in a shot but they are to show that lif egoes on around her even though she feels dead inside.
- I fall down the stairs,(k not litterally) I don't just walk, I fall fast.
- Introduced to extreme dark with "There" "I dreamnt last night and you were there"
- This one is obvious "You kissed my face" my hand goes to my face, obviously remembering kisses that are now replaced with teardrops.
- Introduce tossing and turning, it is plenty because it is the main issue, walking is not an issue it is a temporary fix to sleepless nights. Tossing and turning is suffering and this song is about suffering.
- "dream of you" causes me to throw myself over not just roll over, it's frusterating when all you can do is think of a person who doesn't love you.
- "Pillow where I weep" - obvious
- "in the darkness" dragging my hands down my face and closing my eyes.
- Decides on suicide vs reality and dreamland to the beat of the music I arise.
- There is a flash between getting the paper and writing the letter, this is not an accident this is unpurpose, it is to mean a few things. The moment her spirit dies, and the speed at which she makes this decision.
- The clip of looking back is my favorite clip but a hidden story behind it is the fact that I am actually looking in the direction that Von and I used to live.
- I like to close all my poems, etc with the scene I opened so we return to where I once climbed the stairs and this time I tumble to the bottom. Symbolism is in the fact that at one point I had climbed to the top and now I willingly tumble down to rock bottom.
- I appologize to advil, they do not promote suicide.
- Flashing point with the wine is also not an accident, dido's song goes very fast from music to no music and I wanted to grab that with the video.
- Ends on "sleep" with a still frame of her dead. shoots to suicide note and that is pretty much the end. Obviously I bolded "Please understand, I'm sorry, It just hurts, I'm afraid to sleep and I'll always love you.
But if you care to read the whole note and don't wish to pause it is like this:

Please understand, I just can't do it anymore. I'm sorry every morning hurts more than the last. It just hurts so much. Please forgive me. I keep dreaming of you so much that I can't handle it. I'm afraid to sleep.
I'll alwaywas love you.

And if you are wondering yes these lines were used by me before.
that is all, please comment.

Good upload. It's interesting the way you related the video to the song. Nice work

@123maxik you jackass this is what it's called FANMADE!!! And being a director I can tell she has talent. She shot this by herself and she did it right. So shut your shithole and let talented people be.

Wow ... beautifully done film! I adore the symbolism and coherency of the story you picture. Very sad though. I'm kind of in the sad boat (minus the suicide bit). Hope you feel better now...

I think she's done loads of good stuff with Faithless and Rolo that completely slip through.
