Astral Weeks - Van Morrison AMV

This is a mesh of AbrogateNeed and ProstrateConstantly's concepts in such a way that I really debated which channel to throw it on, but I think it meshes best with the prior ProstrateConstantly material. Not much to say about the video itself so have the poem Van Morrison wrote for Astral Weeks' back cover:
I saw you coming from the Cape, way from Hyannis Port all the way,
When I got back it was like a dream come true
I saw you coming from Cambridgeport with my poetry and jazz,
Knew you had the blues, saw you coming from across the river,
Told you on the banks of the river, carried you across,
Loved you there and then, and now like a sheep,
I close my eyes and sleep for love comes flowing streams of consciousness
Soft like snow, to and fro,
Let us go there together, darlin’, way from the river to here and now
And carry it with a smile, bumper to bumper
Stepping lightly, just like a ballerina.

Everything from about 2:00 on just felt perfect to me.

Nothing "wrong" with everything before that, I just thought this hit its stride about halfway through and just locked into some dreamy sense of flow that was a pleasure to soak in. And that's fine with me, I like it when an AMV ends on a high note instead of coming away with a sense that it didn't have a satisfying ending.

That is hilarious, while I was making the video I was in love with the video from start to finish, but on second watch I thought it looked like I'd made a great first 2 minutes and then padded it out because the song wasn't over. It's so interesting to hear the opposite response, thanks for the feedback man.
