i didn't think i'd get this emotional, but damn it, here I am.

The first listen I didn't really like the run in the background on the two first "i run run run", after listening to the song a few times though, i don't think i'd love the third "i run run run" part without it as much, haha. Also what is that sound on the beginning? It sounds like Bill's about to sing the song chipmunk style.

I really love the video (even though i'm sort of miffed about it only being the twins) but that bit with bill singing to a sparkle doesn't really fit with the rest of the video? I think it would have been better without it. I really love the light effects, and the few frames per shot gives it sort of an urgency which is a nice contrast to the stillness of the rest of the video and the song being quiet.

My thought as well, and I can't get it out my head >.<

Well, maybe I could if I could have gotten into the song, but since I can't make out even half of what he says, it mostly registers as "sad piano, sad singing, sad piano, cigarette smoke", nothing more - nothing specific.
And my brain goes "... well the producing is good and the song isn't bad. But after 4 years I was kind of expecting something more".

Also my snarky side added "I bet Bill decided to get rid of the septum after watching the video a couple of times and getting bored with the close-up on it".
