I don't frequent the video offices much, but I had to watch this one because redwinter devoted a drabble to it. And of course it's beautiful. 100% Mick. I loved the music. I like Annie Lennox but wasn't familiar with this melancholy song. Do you have the lyrics somewhere as I didn't get them?
The pace of the video and the cuts are fitting very nicely with the music. Wonderful work.

Here are the lyrics:

Love Song For A Vampire

Come into these arms again
and lay your body down
The rhythm of this trembling heart
is beating like a drum
It beats for you it bleeds for you
it knows not how it sounds
For it is the drum of drums
it is the song of songs

Once I had the rarest rose
that ever deemed to bloom
Cruel winter chilled the bud
and stole my flower too soon
Oh loneliness Oh hopelessness
to search the ends of time
For there is in all the world
no greater love than mine.

Love o love o .... still falls the rain
Love o love o .... still falls the night
Love o love o .... damned forever

Let me be the only one
to keep you from the cold
Now the floor of heaven is laid
the stars are bright as gold
They shine for you they shine for you
they burn for all to see
Come into these arms again
and set this spirit free

Oh, wow. It so fits Mick's story. And is the title really Love Song for a Vampire? That's awesome. Is Annie Lennox a closeted fanfic writer? Maybe she published here in the poetry section?
I love these lyrics.

The whole song just works for Mick. I originally thought of using this song to a MickCora vid but it actually worked better as a stand alond Mick vid. The song was used in the soundtrack for Bram Stoker's Dracula.

I love your song choice coco... so melancholy.... really fits with Mick. and I love the way your wipes matched the key changes. great.

Coco, your work is incredible and just keeps getting better. This one is outstanding.

Oh, coco... thank you for making this beautiful video to my very favorite vampire song. I love Annie Lennox's voice so much, and the poetry of this song is absolutely heartbreakingly beautiful--and so perfect for Mick. You chose such apt scenes and cut them so well with the music--the song and the scenes really do fit just right. I don't know how to make videos so I don't understand the technical aspects of what you do, but I know when something works, and your video works so well. Thank you. And thank you also for inspiring that jewel of a drabble by Redwinter101. It's a fitting tribute to this beautiful piece of yours.

Loved it Coco,
It suits our darling vampire to a T.
I had never heard of the song til a few weeks ago.
I watched the vid with Annie Lennox singing it with scenes from the movie indispersed through it.
And I much preferred yours, Coco.
I think Josef gives Mick to much of a hard time.
Angst and Vampires?
It seems to go with the territory!!
Thanks for picking the song Pinkie!

I've just watched this again, three times in a row. I've never seen the movie that it was a part of (I wasn't interested in vampires much before Mick and Josef came along). There's another one from a different artist to the same song on You Tube that goes more towards the MickBeth bond, but yours features Mick and only Mick and it's great.
I love Annie Lennox since she was part of the Eurythmics, and then she sang that lovely song for Lord of the Rings. Her slow ballads are the best.

This vid has very quickly become one of my favourites and one of the best I've made I think. It all just seemed to work.

And for the inspired drabble. It was just perfect.

What did I tell you Claire??? Nothing that features this man can turn out bad or mediocre, he is a class act all the way.
I've never been anything but an AOL fanatic fan since the first time I saw him and I always will be. Mick St. John is the ultimate vampire.
I knew you would do the best possible job!! So glad that little banner inspired you and then you inspired me to make the wallpaper. See, only good things happen when he's involved. I keep telling everyone who will listen, he is a Magic Man.
Uh.....that would be a good video. I wrote a whole fic around that song!!
thank you again Claire you are the best!!

WOW. alle

I've made a few vids now and I actually think this one wouldn't have worked if I'd attempted it before now. I'm better with the editing and cutting of scenes after so many vids and everything just fell into place with this one and it obviously helps that I'm such a Mick girl at heart. I'm over the moon with the postive reaction it's gotten.

As for Red's drabble - I'm ecstatic that my little vid inspired it.
