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.

Lovely vid. I love the bittersweetness to it and how you captured Torchwood and the team.

That was so beautifully sad. I miss it, too. :(

As I said while reccing this vid to a friend, it's very nostalgic. Little moments you showed in here had me smiling inadvertantly, even when sometimes the moment should have been sad. The whole vid evoked this great fondness in me. I miss the good old days, too.

(great song, choice, too. I do love the Eels.)

Oh, that was so beautiful. And it made me ache for Tosh and Owen, in particular, in a way that hasn't hit me for a while.

This is a beautiful tribute to a team that is lost but will be forever adored. I love the music and I love the scenes you chose to highlight. Thank you for the reminder of so much that I miss.

Here via [livejournal.com profile] torchwood_house. This is so lovely and sad and...oh. Beautiful job.

Also, bonus points for the Eels song. Fantastic choice.

Waaaaaah!

[identity profile] secondsilk.livejournal.com 2009-07-29 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Maybe I do want to watch the show again. There were some such lovely things.
Wonderful.
Tosh dressed up all pretty!

Awesome song. The only Eels song I have is "Mr E's Beautiful Blues".
