Smile - The Supernaturals

Every silver
lining has a cloud
And each piece of good fortune
must be paid for by the pound
I've become so cynical these days,
I don't know how it started but it won't go away
See the lines around my eyes,
See the sarcasm in my smile,

You'd better smile
Smile [x15]
Cause that's all that you've got left,
Your life's a mess, you've been cut adrift

You'd better smile [x2]
I feel like a dalek inside,
Everything's gone grey but used to be so black and white
See the lines around my eyes,
See the sarcasm in my smile,

You'd better smile
Smile [x15]
I've become so cynical these days,
I don't know how it started but it won't go away
You'd better smile [x2]
Cause that's all that you've got left,
Your life's a mess, you've been cut adrift


Feedback loved.

I'm having a bad day today, but that just put a HUGE smile on my face. THANK YOU :)

I really must rewatch Buffy. Also, I can't help but go "Uther!" every time I see Giles now *facepalm*

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I guess that's the point of More Joy Day, I'm glad the vid was able to brighten your day a little.

And I always see Uther and go "Giles" :D

I remember this video from way back when you first made it. I think I actually still have it on my hard disc. The updated version is awesome. It feels like the same vid, only with better quality clips and a greater variation in them. I truly enjoyed it. Thanks!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I definitely wanted it to have the same feel as the original. For the most part it was just about improving the quality of the source and tightening the editing a bit. Glad you liked it.

I love this vid! I still have the old version, and it's on my list to watch whenever I feel gloomy. Always helps.

The new one is fantastic. 'Watchers not watching' should be a sitcom.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thank you! "Watchers not Watching" would be a great sitcom kind of like "The Odd Couple" meets "Absolutely Fabulous".

[lee-fragilidad.livejournal.com]

The old version was one of my favourite buffy vids and the new one is great too.
I love it!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Glad you approve of the new version.

[sol-se.livejournal.com]

What a perfect way to start the morning! That was wonderful & adorable & happy-making! I am definitely smiling right now.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

It's pretty hard to resist the collective wattage of so many bright smiles!

[sdwolfpup.livejournal.com]

OMG this made me SO HAPPY. I've always loved this vid and the update you made to it just makes it smilier x 1000! The end is just killer. I was grinning the whole way through.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

It was great fun revisiting these shows, I fell in love all over again. Thank you for the comment and even more so for being the brains behind More Joy Day.

[flurblewig.livejournal.com]

OMG so awesome! So absolutely perfect, I am grinning like a loon. ::applauds::

[charmax.livejournal.com]

As cheerful as the old version! The changes you put into it work wonderfully.

Loved it, so much.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[elisi]

I love my show(s) so much I am about to *explode*! THANK YOU!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Remastering this vid reminded me just how adorable everyone was. Thanks for the feedback.

[giandujakiss.livejournal.com]

This is so wonderful! Incredibly joyful and such an impressive scope!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Scope is right! No smile or bit of silliness could escape my frantic clipping.

[danegen.livejournal.com]

Oh Show! That was awesome! Hee, the Gentleman!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I love the Gentleman clip too.

[woldy]

Yay, love the tight editing :-D. There sure is a lot of smiling in that show.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Yep, there were a lot of smiles on the show(s) when it wasn't tearing your heart out and stomping on it.

[mystic-aleisha.livejournal.com]

Loved you older version of this and well the new updated one was just as stunning lovely to see some joy definitly made me smile :D

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Glad you enjoyed the new version.

[gigglemonster.livejournal.com]

Awww this is so wonderful! So many awesome moments all in one vid! So very happy making :D

[charmax.livejournal.com]

It might not be the deepest vid in the world but hopefully it does exactly what it says on the tin. :D

I feel like a dalek inside

[kiki-miserychic.livejournal.com]

Aww, this is so cute and fun. I love the clip interaction and the great mix of season and series. I'm smiling right now. You can't see it, but I'm totally grinning like a child, especially at the boobs part. I'm a 13-year-old boy that thinks BEWBS ARE KEWL. I love the moment at :57 with Riley on beat. I was happy to see so many characters. Love Anya's twirly finger to Buffy.

Happy More Joy Day!

Re: I feel like a dalek inside

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Happy Joy Day. I'm glad the vid made you smile. You weren't the one who went scouring the source for boobs clips, I fail at maturity.

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

Oh, this was delightful! Definitely made me smile!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

Eeee! :D Great stuff! Fluffly and fun! Happy More Joy day!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thank you and a happy More Joy Day to you.

[beerbad.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! I've always loved this vid and am excited to see it remastered! (It's crazy to think that I've been watching your vids for five years now, lol.)

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I couldn't believe it had been nearly 5 years since I made the original of this. That's like about 3 decades in vidding years.

[vchrusch.livejournal.com]

That was great!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[buffy-the-vamp6.livejournal.com]

Hee!

That was amazing!

*smiles*

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[littleheaven70.livejournal.com]

Squeeee! I still have the original of this saved on my computer, and I still love it. But this one goes to 11 *g* Thanks for making me smile. (((HUG)))

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It is quite possibly the most adorable cast ever assembled. I'm glad More Joy Day gave me the push to remake the vid.

[lynnenne]

This is the first time I've seen this, and I'm in love with it. Wonderful, joyful, happy-making vid. Thank you! :D

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm pleased that as a necomer to the vid you enjoyed it so much.

[taragel.livejournal.com]

Aw that was so much fun!! And I loved the end. And how many different people you squeezed in!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I tried to get as many people in as possible but I think my personal preference for Giles, early Wes and Angel being a dork has rather tipped the balance.

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

Oh this made me SO HAPPY. I think my favorite part was the Battle of the Pratfalling Watchers, but it was all just so damned glorious. :D

Also: Thank you for my virtual pressie! ::twirls you::

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I do love the watchers being so spectacularly gormless.

Also: You're welcome!
