The Good Old Days from such heights on Vimeo.

I know I'm not too much of a bargain
And you know that's not what you bargained for
As the hours turn into days
Pretty soon lost in the haze
It's up to you and me
And who's to say
These could be the good old days

I like waking up after a bad dream
Makes it feel like life ain't bad
Little kids go out to play
They're just happy it's another day
It's up to you and me
And who's to say
These could be the good old days

I guess I could be a quiet hero
No one knows the good I've done
You're not sure
Well that's okay
'cause I am
And I'm not afraid
It's up to you and me
And who's to say
These could be the good old days.

Oh! Oh, that was very lovely. (And now I'm all weepy again!)

I miss my show, too.

♥

Thank you so much! I'm still so sad about the whole thing, I really am.

Such a great retrospective! And also, in awe of your mad editing skillz. *prostrates self*

[such_heights]

Hee! Thanks so much, L, I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

*downloaded* A lovely look back...

Given the premise behind Torchwood, I don't hate that they keep killing off the characters. I just wish we had more time with them and that's what vids like this provide. Thanks for sharing! :)

[such_heights]

Thanks so much! And yes, three in five episodes is a little speedy for me too.

Oh, lovely. Sweet and sad and a perfect meld of music and images.

Thank you.

[such_heights]

Thank you, I'm so glad it worked for you!

Sweet and poignant. I miss my show also. I am hoping I can get into whatever comes next. I'll always love Jack no matter what.

I've really wanted good post-S3 video and this one is just perfect. Really really lovely.

[such_heights]

Thank you very much, I'm glad it hit the spot!

...oh! I never thought I would the cheesy camp series that gave us sex aliens and life gloves and mind-reading necklaces but holy damn did you make me yearn for that show. <3

Loved.

[such_heights]

Thank you! I know, I'm sometimes surprised by just how attached I am to this ridiculous show.

*wails* oh show.

this really broke my heart all over again, in a beautiful sort of way. i love this a lot, ♥

[such_heights]

Thanks so much, and apologies for the breaking!

[elisi]

Don't do that!

*tries very hard not to cry* (again)

Oh my show, my show.

(I thought CoE was brilliant, but yes, it killed our show for good. Thank you so much for this, it's wonderful.)

[such_heights]

[thewatch.livejournal.com]

beautiful, quiet, and a little sad, but there are good memories and people in there worth holding onto.

You got it just right!

[such_heights]

Thanks so much, I'm glad it worked for you!

[lyras]

So lovely and wistful. I always love your vids, but this one feels particularly heartbreaking to me - like a true leavetaking. Gorgeously sad. ♥

[such_heights]

Thank you so much! This is one of my more personal vids, so I'm glad it worked for you.

Oh no, this one hurts. ;___; I'm currently going through a bit of a Torchwood revival and having Feelings, and this is such a lovely/painful look back at the Torchwood That Was.
