Rookie Blue: Angsty McSwarek - Don't Let Me Down (Jeff Russo)

Inspired by the AU fics 'The Witness' & 'Reluctant Acquaintances' that each have their own original tragedies going on. The author of 'In Another LIfe' said she was in the mood for a vid with pining, so this is for her too. Because after making a zillion vids based on the show itself, apparently making vids based on the mood of fanfics I'm digging is now a thing I'm doing. This hiatus is too long. ;)

Jeff Russo is the former lead guitarist of Tonic. I saw him play live at Hotel Cafe a couple times after they split. He's a nice guy with a great voice, so I thought I'd go back to my thing of making vids with obscure but pretty ballads.

In case you're looking for the song, I think the only place you can find it is on the Alternative Addiction website. The song is on their V6 compilation album. alternativeaddictiondotcom /shop/products/addictionv6/addiction_v6.asp (Note: obviously you have to get rid of the changes to the URL that I put in to avoid YouTube's censors)

Lyrics:
This mornin' you were sleeping
I wonder what made you smile
Do you feel alone and not alone at the same time?
I'm just trying to feel this moment
and keep the world outside
Where nothing can come between us now
There's nowhere to hide

Don't let me down...
Don't let me down...

I'm just looking for a sign
Twisting and turning time
I trip and I stumble
I'm having a hard time

And when you hear these words,
sometimes I know they'll hurt
Just try to be gentle
That's the hardest part

Don't let me down...
Don't let me down...

Everything is fine
when you're sleeping by my side
But when you're eyes are open,
will you still be telling me that I'm the only one?

Don't let me down...
Don't let me down...
Don't let me down...
Don't let me down...

@margie311 Aww, thanks so much for taking the time to say so. Seriously, it means a lot that you like this one since your story was in my head so much when I made it. The funny thing is, I almost decided this song wouldn't work with the clips on hand & should should save it for next year. But then it turned out pretty decent when I stuck with it.

I feel the need to comment here as well. I've just watched this a THIRD time, and am literally so incredibly lost for words, because I can picture these scenes applied to parts of the Witness and it just kills me. So thank you so so much for making this video!  You did a great job, and I love the song!
