  I took about two weeks planning this video and spent the next three weeks editing it in Adobe Premiere. One thing I tried to do when I made this video was cut back on my tendency to over-use digital effects. I don't know if I succeeded in doing that, because there are still quite a few effects, and lots and lots of crossfades. I'm wondering if I overdid the crossfades... This video isn't as long as my In My Arms Again video that was six minutes long, but it's still fairly long with the song being 4 minutes and 49 seconds.
  
  Concept/Storyline Notes:
  
  *There are lots of spoilers in this video, so beware if you haven't watched all of the Escaflowne series.*
  
  This video is basically about Escaflowne's love story. I made it not only about Hitomi and Van, but included Allen as well. Including him made it much easier for me to create a storyline to work with. This time instead of basing my video of the song's story like I usually do, I used this song to back up the storyline. I tried to put emotioin into this video and make it dramatic, and I hope I pulled it off.
  
  The Lyrics:
  
  Celine Dion - I Surrender
  
  
  There's so much life I've left to live
  And this fire's burning still
  When I watch you look at me
  I think I could find the will
  To stand for every dream
  And forsake the solid ground
  And give up this fear within
  Of what would happen if they ever knew
  I'm in love with you
  
  Chrous:
  'Cause I'd surrender everything
  To feel the chance to live again
  I reach to you
  I know you can feel it to
  We'd make it through
  A thousand dreams I still believe
  I'd make you give them all to me
  I'd hold you in my arms and never let go
  I surrender
  
  I know I can't survive
  Another night away from you
  You're the reason I go on
  And now i need to live the truth
  Right now, there's no better time
  From this fear I will break free
  And I'll live again with love
  And no the they can't take that away from me
  And they will see...
  
  Chorus
  
  Every night's getting longer
  And this fire is getting stronger, babe
  I'll swallow my pride and I'll be alive
  Can't you hear my call
  I surrender all
  
  Chorus
  
  Right here, right now
  I give my life to live again
  I'll break free, take me
  My everything, I surrender all to you
