  Let me get something out of the way first: this AMV was made for only one reason, the scene where Cloud crash lands on Kadaj, Sephiroth materializes and Cloud thinks “Oh %*#@!!” The idea was born the split second the song woke me up one morning after a long week of struggling to rip decent Advent Children footage (for an entirely different project, which was put on hold for several months thanks to that incident). Although originally I planned for “Sephiration Anxiety” to be a satire/parody, not dramatic at all, some accidents along the way transformed the AMV into its current state. It's not meant to be a stunning new entry into the pantheon of AC AMVs, it's not even meant to be a stunning AMV - it was just a fun project that I let evolve pretty much as it would.
  
  My biggest regret with this AMV is that the song had to be so brutally shortened – it’s actually a love song and two big blocks of the lyrics (But I love you more than I wanted to/ There's no point in trying to pretend/ There's been no-one who makes me feel like you do/Say we'll be together ‘til the end.) had to be cut for this reason. Cloud and Sephiroth are not into yaoi, I’m thinking.
  
  Ok, I lie, my biggest regret is that I SLIGHTLY screwed up the aspect ratio - I misinterpreted some of the EADFAG and am paying the price for it. I may redo this AMV someday to make amends...but probably not.
  
  I suppose I should also state that this is my first (finished) AMV. And no, I’m not going to mention how long I worked on this project because it’s embarrassing.
  
  Lyrics:
  Just as I thought it was going alright,
  I find out that I'm wrong when I thought I was right
  It’s always the same, it's just a shame, that's all.
  
  I could say day, you'd say night,
  Tell me it's black when I know that it's white.
  It’s always the same, it's just a shame, that's all.
  
  I could leave, but I won't go, though my heart might tell me so.
  I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes.
  So why does it always seem to be,
  Me looking at you, you looking at me?
  It’s always the same, it's just a shame, that's all.
  
  Turning me on, turning me off,
  Making me feel like I want too much.
  Living with you is just putting me through it all of the time.
  Running around staying out all night,
  Taking it all instead of taking one bite.
  Living with you is just putting me through it all of the time.
  
  I could leave but I won't go,
  it'd be easier I know.
  I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes.
  But why does it always seem to be,
  Me looking at you, you looking at me?
  It’s always the same, just a shame, that's all.
  
  p.s. The version currently available for download contains uncompressed audio, and not by accident.
