So uhm, I think I broke my speed record on vidding TXF - under a week. Not bad. Perhaps one day xandra_ptv will stop making fun of me. The song was a gift, I discovered Dessa through giandujakiss amazing Nikita video Seamstress, because vids are the way to go to discover unknown artists, fandoms and shows. After listening to the album on repeat for four days, 'Matches to Paper Dolls' suddenly hit me as perfect Scully song. One week later I have a finished vid. I love when creativity strikes.

This is going straight in my Vid Hall of Fame folder.

Wow. Oh wow! Right, I'll try to be a bit more articulate. This video simply blew me away. Even more so when I checked the lyrics in more details. This vid embodies so perfectly the wonderful and damaged push and pull mess that is the Mulder and Scully relationship. My golden standard for XF vid has always been Giandujakiss's "Hell of a Place". I never found a vid that summed up the show in such a subtle precise way, or that sent such chills of glorious nostalgia down my spine. Until today.

Bravo. I know I'm late to the party but I'm so, so glad I was rec'ed this.
