When I'm Gone
by 3 Doors Down

There's another world inside of me
That you may never see
There's secrets in this life
That I can't hide
Somewhere in this darkness
There's a light that I can't find
Maybe it's too far away...
Maybe I'm just blind...

Maybe I'm just blind...

[chorus]
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything in me
Wants to be the one
You wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Love me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone
[end chorus]

Love me when I'm gone...

When your education x-ray
Can not see under my skin
I won't tell you a damn thing
That I could not tell my friends
Roaming through this darkness
I'm alive but I'm alone
Part of me is fighting this
But part of me is gone

[chorus]

Maybe I'm just blind...

[chorus]

Love me when I'm gone...

Love me when I'm gone
When I'm Gone
When I'm Gone
When I'm Gone

'Hold me when I'm here'

Ooh yes please!
Faramir hugging Boromir, then "hold me when I'm scared" - and you just caught those fleeting expressions beautifully, brings a lump to my throat. < claps hands gleefully> you are soooo good at tugging the heart strings. Grumpy Denethor, sad thoughtful Fara, - must go and watch it again!

Did I say I think it's rather good??

Thank you SO much. Wish I said something sooner, but I am just overwhelmed by the response to this vid. Thank you, thank you.

oh, that's absolutely brilliant. the song made me think of boromir the first time i heard it, and i've been hoping someone would use it in a songvid. i'm especially glad it was you.

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!

It's kind of funny actually. I'm generally not particularly fond of 3 Doors Down -- really, only of "Kryptonite" because I have a weakness for Superman-type songs. And I had been fighting and fighting my desire to make a vid to "When I'm Gone" because I really didn't think I could stand to listen to it as often as I would have to, to make a vid. I'm rather glad I gave in *G*

Wow. I bow down in awe. I think this has just become my fave LotR vid of all time. The Faramir footage just kicks the emotional level into overdrive. The whole thing's great, but I think the editing in the second chorus is especially effective.

*is speechless*

*loves you to PIECES*

[przed.livejournal.com]

*loves you back, oh vidding goddess*

[sisterofnight.livejournal.com]

Faramir... and Denethor... and Klepto!Aragorn.

I cried.

You rock.

(I need Faramir/Boromir screencaps.)

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And I'm sure I"ll be able to see about doing some screen captures when the ext version comes out, provided I'm not too busy with homework (damn college, interfering with my fannish life!).

You are the angstiest person I know. *kiss*

I'm sorry! I didn't aim to make anybody upset or make them cry. But thank you, for watching, and for commenting. I'm glad it was able to get a reaction from people!

[as-i-am.livejournal.com]

Brilliant! That song SO fits him, and the vid is BEAUTIFUL. *much in love with the Boromir/Faramir elements*

I DL your vids whenever I have the time. Soon I should have all of them off your site. *grins* I have yet to find a single one that I don't think is exceptional. You are the songvid master of this fandom! *bows to you*

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

Thank you, very much! I'm blushing now :) I'm very happy that you enjoy my vids. I really enjoy making them, even if there are a handful I'm not at all happy with ;)

[thalassatx.livejournal.com]

This is, without a doubt, the BEST ever.

I'm memory-ing it, I'm reccing it, I'm worshipping you.

You should be making a career out of this.

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Thank you also for the rec, it's very kind of you :)

I'm taking classes in college right now in media design. I will have some classes in audio/video production. Maybe one day *G*

[loyaldreamer.livejournal.com]

Okay so Thal recommended this and I am SO in love. I absolutely love this! The images go so well with the lryics...I'm definitely going to surfing through your older videos.

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! Please enjoy :) And I just love your icon.

[cinzia.livejournal.com]

Oh. Dear... ! That's a splendid thing to behold. I think I watched it ten times just this past half-hour. Boromir, and Aragorn... and all the little Faramir glimpses, interspersed... It's all so, so sad.

I worship you.

*worships*

Boromir, don't die again... *sniff*

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

:) Thank you, Cinzia! I'm so glad you like it :)

[winter]

As a humble new fan of your vids I would like to say this is gorgeous :) Perfect editing, perfect choice of scenes, and oh-so-sad...

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! :)

[shalna.livejournal.com]

I came here via cinzia's journal, downloaded the vid and now I'm in love. Very very beautifully and skillfully done and touching *sniff*

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

*hands you a tissue* Thank you, very much!

[demeanor.livejournal.com]

I love your vid, great song choice.

Your journal has been recced to me many times before, and I have decided to add you. I hope you don't mind...

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much!

I don't mind being friended. I just hope that there isn't anything in here that will scare you too badly *G*

[atanvarne-lj.livejournal.com]

I've never cried watching a music video...until now. Ashinae, that was too good for words, so I'm not adding any.

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

Thank you SO much! I'm sorry it made you cry!

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

Thank you! That's very, very kind of you to say!

they always make me think Boromir is the hero of the "Lord of the Rings" movies ;)

*confused* Um. Isn't he?

;)

I can't wait for the Extended Edition TT. Or the Extended Edition RotK for that matter *G*
