  Wow, a serious video, after almost a year... And this is my first serious work with lyrical music.
  
  Lyrical! :O
  
  About the AMV:
  I started this back in October, about a week after my last video. I heard this song and thought that this reflected Haruhi more than the song that I was using at the time. So I scrapped that project and got to work on this one.
  
  Story:
  Think of it as an alternate telling of "Melancholy VI" in the form of a concert.
  
  ...Sounds familiar, doesn't it? After all, it is a typical Haruhi AMV. :P
  
  Software Used:
  Premiere Elements 3.0
  Photoshop Elements 5.0
  VirtualDub
  Audacity
  Zarx264
  
  Time Spent: Four months.
  Three months to complete, one month of constantly fixing and picking at it.
  
  Notes, Comments and Gripe (because I'm my own worst critic):
  
  - I cropped out a minute of the song after hitting an editor's block on the second verse. I had a good idea of what clips to put in there but it felt like it would derail the storyline...
  
  Who knows... Maybe I'll make a director's cut of this someday. (Then again, I say that about all of my other AMV's...)
  
  - This was also my first attempt to lip sync... (Not an abundance to mark the lip sync box, but it's there) I'm not sure if I should say "yay" to this. I look back on it now and think, "(@ 0:57-0:59) Wow, that's looks a little cheesy... but I'm not changing it. :|"
  
  - 0:00-0:19: I love this part. Especially the guitar at the first four seconds. :3
  
  - 1:40-1:49: *coughbadkyonfillerisbadcough*
  
  - 1:50-1:53: Attempt at creating a "closed space" look on the computer... Meh, close enough.
  
  - 3:24-3:35: If you don't understand what's going on throughout the AMV, this part will clear up any questions you might have.
  
  ...Yes, even the question: "Why the hell is Haruhi singing like that?"
  
  - 3:14-End: In case you were wondering, After We Have Left Our Homes stars here.
  
  (May write more later...)
  
  Lyrics:
  
  Come on, can't I dream for one day
  There's nothing that can't be done
  But how long should it take somebody
  Before they can be someone
  
  Cause I know there's got to be another level
  Somewhere closer to the other side
  And I'm feeling like it's now or never
  Can I break the spell of the typical, the typical, the typical, uh huh
  
  I'm the typical
  I'm the typical
  Can I break the spell of the typical
  
  Because it's dragging me down
  I'd like to know about when
  When does it all turn around
  
  I'm just the typical
  I'm just the typical
  
  Yeah I know there's got to be another level
  Somewhere closer to the other side
  And I'm feeling like it's now or never
  Can I break the spell of the typical
  The typical, the typical, uh huh
  
  Of the typical
  Break the spell (of the typical)
  Break the spell (of the typical)
  Can I break the spell of the typical, of the typical
  I'm just the typical
  I'm just the typical
  I'm just the typical
  I'm just the typical
  
  NOTE (again...): If you do not have VLC Player and/or CCCP, go get it! ...Please? Or else the vid may not/won't work...
