• Comments: This is my second AMV which attempts to do a lyric sync with a slow-paced song. My previous AMV (not available here) focused primarily on action sync and while I believe it went well, it is hardly enough to label as good when so many others do the same. Here I tried to focus on the overall mood as to what Spike did and didn't fight for. This song seemed to go with it as Spike was trying to leave out all the rest for the present but ended up going back to his past. In doing so, the one he loved (Julia) died and he had no where else to go. I did my best to capture the feelings involved and the many things he went through.
  
  *Cowboy Bebop Spoiler*
  
  Spike is a 21 year old bounty hunter who was previously a member of the Red Dragon crime syndicate with his past best friend named Vicious. After some gun shoot-out, Spike was badly injured and tumbled over Julia's house who happened to be Vicious's girlfriend at the time. While she tended Spike's wounds, they fell in love with each other and there Spike decided to leave the group and go with Julia.
  
  Vicious was realizing this and threatened Julia to either kill Spike or he'll kill them both. Spike managed to fake his own death and went for Julia only to find that she didn't show. Spike leaves out all the rest for his past.
