VVC 08 Club Vivid Vid: Smiley Faces

[charmax]

Video Title: Smiley Faces
Song Title/Artist: Smiley Faces - Gnarls Barkley
Show: Torchwood
Summary: Team Torchwood and "how hard this life can be."
Length/Format: 3.05, (Xvid, Stream)
Notes: Premiered at Club Vivid, Vividcon 08.
This was made during my old comp's death throes. As a result it isn't quite as flash as originally conceived (only the title sequence remains of Charmax's fancy Torchwood vid that never was) nevertheless I feel my fondness for team Torchwood does come across and that's the main thing. Gwen and Jack have the best smiles in fandom.

Smiley Faces

What did you do? What did you say?
Did you walk - or did you run away?
Where are you now? Where have you been?
Did you go alone - or did you bring a friend?

I need to know this - cause I notice when you're smilin'
Out in the sun havin' fun and you're feelin' free
And I can tell you know how hard this life can be
But you keep on smilin' for me

What went right? What went wrong?
Was it the story - or was it the song?
Was it overnight - or did it take you long?
Was knowing your weakness what made you strong?

Or all the above - oh how I love to see you smilin'
And oh yeah - take a little pain just in case
You need something warm to embrace
To help you put on a smilin' face
Hey, put on a smilin' face

Don't you go off into the new day with any doubt
Here's a summary of somethin' that you could smile about:
Say for instance, my girlfriend she bugs me all the time
But the irony of it all is that she loves me all the time

I want to be you - whenever I see you smilin'
Cause it's easily one of the hardest things to do
Your worries and fears become your friends
And they end up smilin' at you
Put on a smilin' face


Feedback loved.

Awesome, awesome, awesome.

I don't think there's a single thing I'd change about this one! (grins) The credits were stunning, I especially loved the ending, wrapped around Jack there and the song (which I actually hadn't heard before!) so worked, totally brill.

Oh! And I'm in total agreement about the smile of Jack. It is a thing of wonder, it gives me an absolute happy.

Cheers!

How can you not have heard the song? It's been everywhere. *g* The credits turned out to be quite a feat but they are nice bookenders, aren't they? Many thanks.

Jack smiling is just joy and love.

(dies) I don't know! I think I've been hibernating down here in Australia when it comes to music. I am a sad, deprived thing! (mournful)
