You want me to comment on each cut/lyric? *awaits answer. waits. hears nothing* I'll take that as a yes.

Sands: That was cheap.
Will: And you're bothersome. Shut up and let her review.

The opening notes instantly made me think of Hannibal playing the piano, his taste in music.... and Will walking away from it all, trying to distance himself from his sekrit luvah Hannibal *proved* it. 'Course then I thought of yer icon ^^ Ain't no use fightin', dear William...

Will: Who said I--
Sands: *clamps hand over his mouth* If I can't talk, you sure as shit ain't going to, either.
Will: Hmph. *glares*

All around me are familiar faces
...and ye show the two warring sides in his life: Hannibal and Crawford; one wanting to help our pretty-angsty-boy, and the other effectively devouring his soul one by one. Whose doing what? Or is that both are doing both? One is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and the other an angel in a devil's guise.

Worn-Out Faces...
Showing Molly, weary and terrified of what her husband's become... niiiice. (Loose frame around :20 of Josh; a flicker, but its there) And then that leads perfectly into the next lyric! Wonderful editing choice!

Bright and early for the daily races
Showing Will at his job, collaborating with Crawford as they race towards the end of their brainstorming session. Again, beautiful fit, particularly showing his frustration overriding his good manners and Hannibal completely not helping. Awww... rejection for the Will.

No expression...
Watching a family life he'll never, ever have because he's so gay for cannibalism a lone wolf. Oh, sure, he's tried to have that picture perfect snapshot of a family - house by the ocean, wife and son, bleached hair - but we know it's not for him. He loathes the danger he's forced to endure at work, yet he needs it. Desperately so.

('Nother loose frame around :45, *just* before...)

Hide my head out/Drawn my sorrow/No tomorrow
Aww. His life...goes up in figurative flames. That perfect house o'his? Goooone. (At least I'd like to think of it that way. Oh, plot bunny! Grr...)

Find it kind of funny/find it kind of sad
OMG, girl! How the lyrics match up perfectly with the edits is just WOW! Particuraly 'kind of sad'; the tone and words go beautifully with his expression. And I do love the contrasts of those lyrics/expressions/scenes.

Ah, the good doctor! And you said no slash.... cheeky lil liar. If its Hannibal and Will, its slashy.

The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
Awww. Just..... aww. I mean, goddamn! Words can barely express how awesome this clip is. But I'll try.

The shock and hurt and betrayal in his expression just cuts ya to the quick, it really does. Dis was his sekrit lover best friend, confidante, doctor, therapist, collaborator... and he's a goddamned serial killer. Worse, he's stabbing Will. In that moment, Will's thinking that he doesn't want to live.... expressed by the gun being dropped.... like, why resist? The only person he could turn to at all hours of the night *coughcough* is the murderer, the guy Will's suppose to hunt and bring down in the name of justice just so Crawford can smile at the flashing cameras and get his name in the headlines. Will doesn't *want* to do that. Hannibal's crimes are evil, but he's not bad. Will knows this instinctively. And all those repressed emotions, the love he felt for Hannibal? Crashed, destroyed, broken to a thousand shards.

'Cos I find it hard to take
Disbelieving...no, outright refusal to believe what he's seeing. I wonder how the scene might've played out had he not been stabbed (which, by itself, confuses me; it seems a bit off for Hannibal's character, you know? Just the out-of-nowhere-SURPRISE-stab). That was an unintentional bunny, too. I wonder what that confrontation would've been like...

It's a very, very Mad World
Awww... Will at his most vulnerable moments. Death, angst, second death... he totally needs a hug. *glomps Will!muse and huggles him tightly*

The jump-cut in the song would normally be distracting, yet you made it fit so well into your narrative (plus, looking at the lyrics, I applaud the cut).

Your editing was simply fantastic and top fuckin' notch, dearling. Only faults were a few loose frames and only two that I saw. JUST TWO!

Amazing work, mein freund... damn, I'm repeating myself again... but I care not. This vid is amazing and great and any other complimentary word you wish. Fill-it-in.
