BtVS - Can't Go Back Now - such heights from such heights on Vimeo.

lyrics:

Yesterday, when you were young,
Everything you needed done was done for you.
Now you do it on your own
But you find you're all alone,
What can you do?

You and me walk on
Cause you can't go back now.

You know there will be days when you're so tired that you can't take another step,
The night will have no stars and you'll think you've gone as far as you will ever get

But you and me walk on
Cause you can't go back now
And yeah, yeah, go where you want to go
Be what you want to be,
If you ever turn around, you'll see me.

I can't really say why everybody wishes they were somewhere else
But in the end, the only steps that matter are the ones you take all by yourself

And you and me walk on
Yeah you and me walk on
Cause you can't go back now
Walk on, walk on, walk on
You can't go back now

Ohhh, I loved this!!

I have been rewatching Buffy, too, (probably obvious from all my Buffy tweets!) and I have been struck again by how much I love Willow, and how much more on a second viewing. <3 This made me clutch at my heart. Just lovely.

<333 Thanks so much! Yay, Willow!

Lovely.

Thank you! <3

Awwwwww, Willow. And they're all so young and cute and innocent! *draws hearts*

They really are. Thank you! <3

Oh, I enjoyed that very much.

<3 Thanks so much!

Awww, this is lovely. Willow holding up her "Hi, Giles!" sign always makes me a little teary.

It's so adorable! :D Thanks very much.

Awwwww Willow! This vid makes me very very very happy indeed. Willow is and always will be my favourite, and I love those early seasons of Buffy. <3<3<3<3

Oh yay, thanks so much! <3

Oh, what a lovely look at Willow and the relationships that surround her ♥

<3 Thanks very much!

ALL THE WILLOW HUGS! <3<3<3

ALL OF THEM. :D Thank you!

That was so sweet. :D

Thanks so much!

Awwwwwww. ALL THE WILLOW FEELS!!! I am all teary now, this was so beautiful and delicate and I love it. I love how the song also applies to fandom, how we can't go back to the days when BtVS was new and young and fresh but yet we still love to go back and rewatch and refeel. The pencil shot was particularly perfect for me but then again that's one of my favorite shots :) So cute!

Aw, that's a lovely way to look at it. Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked it!

Hm. Mediafire is giving me a "Permission Denied" page. :(

*off to watch streaming version*

Awwwwwww, that was lovely! The extra flamey candle will never not make my heart clench.

<33 Thanks so much!

so sweet -- in its own melancholy way. that innocence...

Thank you very much!

That was sweet and adorable. And WILLOW IS MY FAVORITE AKJDLAJFDSAI.

Okay. :) (You see! You got me to feel all the Willow feels!)

HURRAY! Thanks very much. :D

Oh gosh, this just gave me ALL THE WILLOW FEELS. What a lovely vid, and what a perfect song, and OMG Willooowww!

SHE'S THE BESTEST. Thanks so much!

Awwww, this is gorgeous! <3

<3 Thank you!

This is perfect. ♥

\o/ Thanks very much!

This is gorgeous, also just what I needed as a comfort watch as I'm sick. (Even if it did make me cry a little) Season 1-4 Buffy for the win!

Aww, hope you're feeling better now. Thanks very much!

Willow! I have all the feelings. (:

I am really impressed with the smoothness of your POV transitions here. I am still learning how to do that.

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

Aw! This was so great. Willow and Buffy! I love their friendship so much, and always want to see more of it in fan works, so I was so happy to see it here. Same with Willow's relationship with Giles, and, well, everyone. And Miss Kitty Fantastico!

Thanks for making and sharing this! I take it you two are in season 5 now?

Thanks very much indeed! Haven't started s5 yet, but probably next week.

Wah! I wanted to download but the mediafire link doesn't seem to be working. I love the song, and the vid is lovely (yay Willow!), so I wanted to rewatch it. :)

Oh no, sorry about that! here it is on sendspace. And thank you!

Can't watch the vid right now, but the lyrics alone are giving me ALL THE FEELS.

...well done, and I'm sure I'll have more so say once I can see the visuals. :)

Haha, thanks! It felt like an appropriate choice.

Just discovering this now--this is lovely!

Andas someone who discovered Buffy late and still has only seen seasons 1-5, I remember the problem of vid spoilers and the frustration of vids that just didn't make sense without full canon knowledge. Your friend is so lucky to have you (as we all are)!
