My compliments to Bogosort who created the Precious Things AMV for Ah! My Goddess; you have created the most beautiful AND the most powerful music vid in the universe, if not just otakudom. There so much beauty, emotion, passion, romance and all that complimentary mushy stuff in your video, unlike Wes Bentley of American Beauty, I really take it. HARD. There's seem to be a tear in my eye every time I view the vid.
I understand how "dark" the song is considering the clashing themes of the two subjects, but the Tori Amos' lush composition really complements the emotions conveyed in the anime. Bridge section where Tori Amos sings about "peach party dress" leading up to "with nine inch nails" could have made better if you could make it about Belldandy's "fall from grace" building up to the climax. But the climax of the vid is just rich. The final chorus really make the end battle scenes more powerful. There's something magical about the those floating sakura-lile "fireflakes" which passed between Keiichi and Belldandy as Tori sings "these precious things". More affective when Skuld pushes the "red button" while words "precious things" wailed achingly in the background.
You were wondering why it baffled you when people say they like your vid. Me, as one of those people, have just said it. It's just beautiful. That's all. Forget what the lyrics are about for the time being, and let Tori Amos whisk you away as she "narrates" the emotional summary of the anime.
One last thing: It's Tori Amos AND Ah My Goddess!!!! A goddess song for a goddess anime!!!! A match made it heaven!!!! Which part of the marriage you don't get??!!!
Keep up the good work, Bogo!!
PS: Tori Amos is definitely shoujo anime soundtrack material.
