This song really fits them, because it's about someone dreaming of a better tomorrow and finally meeting someone to share that tomorrow with. One of the major themes of Season 1 is finding one's confidence. Learning to turn dreams into reality. Max and Chloe were both "sitting by and watching the river flow, watching the traffic go" until they bumped into each other and they learnt their dreams could actually come true.

Sure thing! I still have lots more songs to use.

Whenever I make an edit, I also split it up into smaller parts and upload as shorts. The youtube studio page tells me that the "normal" videos and shorts I upload to this channel are viewed by two different sets of viewers with littlre overlap. So while I myself very rarely watch shorts, I don't want to deprive people who predominantly watch shorts from having a supply of Pricefield content.

This song was of course composed for a different video game ("Death Stranding"), but when I heard it for the first time a few days ago I was deeply surprised how well it fit Pricefield. Honestly, I see refrences to their story in half of the songs I listen to.

Such a cute image you just described! The song is "Thunder Island" by Jay Ferguson. It's from 1977, so it was already a classic when William and Joyce dated in the late 80s/early 90s. Then again, good music is timeless.

Thanks! This video wouldn't have been made without you suggesting this beautiful song to me!

Thank you! There really are many interesting parallels between those stories. All four of them have the "star-crossed lovers" and "defying one's cruel fate" angles. But there's more. With LiS and Matrix it's the "trolley problem but you love the person on the side track" dillema for the main character. With LiS and Max Payne it's the time manipulation stuff as well as the extremely specific "the love interest is shot in the head by someone who the main character considered to be a friend" thing. With LiS and She-Ra it's "tall blonde attempts to sacrifice herself but a short brunette pulls her from the brink". I had a lot of fun combining the similar footage, as well as with placing the words of characters from one story in the mouths of characters from another. This worked especialy well with LiS and Max Payne, because of the main characters bearing the same name. I am really satisfied with how the "both Maxes have to choose whether to pull the trigger in the defence of their respective paramours" section.

Thank you! It's sad, but it has a happy ending - that basically sums up the story of Max and Chloe in general. If you're in the mood for similarly somber edits, I invite you to watch: "Before You Go": th-cam.com/video/rQCDjatkOpA/w-d-xo.html "Worthy": th-cam.com/video/0T1aEiXefGU/w-d-xo.html But if you want a change of pace, something more upbeat, I invite you to watch: "I Love Rock 'n' Roll": th-cam.com/video/fJ6gJaMAExY/w-d-xo.html "Joyride":th-cam.com/video/sURtLZ3ytnE/w-d-xo.html

@@ChloeCaulfield94 agreed! I'll check the others out. Thanks! ❤️

Red Box have some very powerful songs. Another one of theirs I can recommend is "For America". I considered using "Hurricane" for an edit for quite some time, but I initially discarded the idea because I misheard the lyrics and I thought the song had an entirely different meaning. I mistakenly tought the song goes "It's clear to me that I MEAN NOTHING MORE", which would be about someone discovering that the other person doesn't care about them. So not exactly something I could use. But once I read the lyrics I discovered that the song actually goes "It's clear to me that I NEED NOTHING MORE" - which is about someone discovering that the only thing that truly matters to them is love. Now that's right up my alley. Another song that I also initially discarded because I misheard it and thought it was too pesimisstic is "Circle" by Edie Brickell. For the longest time I thought the last verse goes "When the streets are wet, the colours slip into the sky. I don't know why, but that means YOU'RE A LIAR", which would be a hopeless and depressing ending to a song about people growing apart. But then I found out it actually goes: "I don't know why, but that means YOU AND I ARE", which completely changes the meaning of the song and gives it a hopeful vibe - hope for a reunion. I mean, there are also songs that turn out to be much more depressing under close scrutiny, like "Before You Go" by Lewis Capaldi, but I'm glad that at least some songs turn out to be more hopeful than I initially thought when I start looking into them. I'm glad you liked it!

Farewell moved me deeply. But overall, I found it more uplifting than sad. I played the games in release order - first S1, then BtS and Farewell at the end. I had a full picture of what would happen to Max and Chloe in the next five years. So I knew that whatever happens to them, they would get their happy ending - driving off into the sunset, together. Seeing all those big and small moments of friendship and affection between them, I didn't think how it was all about to be lost. No, I knew their friendship would not only survive against all odds, but blossom into something beautiful. I like putting Farewell footage into my edits, because I think their past and present affection is proof that old love never rusts. I also like using the "alternate timeline" footage, because true love is not only for good, but also for ill. Not only in health, but also in illness.

Same, the recording at the end hit me so hard, but in a good way because you know Max will come back to her. I know there's a fan theory that older Max went back to deliver it and remind her that they will always be Max and Chloe. I know some people got a get at Max for not talking to Chloe, but I think Farewell shows pretty clearly how hard it was for her to navigate the new normal and how much she made it up to Chloe in season one. This may be your best edit yet and my favorite so far!

Supertramp had a lot of excellent songs. Good thing my parents exposed me to the band by listening to it a lot. And this one fits Pricefield really well.

I have a list of songs that I'm slowly working through. This one wasn't on it, but it came up on my playlist when I was running some errands. Plus it was raining IRL, too. So I was immediately inspired. As you can see, my ability to listen to music without immediately thinking about them is becoming seriously eroded. I wasn't completely idle in the meantime - I'm also writing Pricefield fanfiction.

Uffff

Remember what Gandalf said: "not all tears are an evil". Thank you for your comments, it means a lot to me that people are enjoying watching my edits as much as I enjoyed putting them together.
