Notes:

The soulful quality of this song is reminiscent of Etta James, for me. I like that it depicts the *journey* of love, not just the destination.

There are so many beautiful moments between Agron and Nasir... I included a few in this one that I haven't used in any of my other fanvids. I love the way they look at each other and how they react to each other, even in the little throwaway moments you might only catch on repeat viewings, or in slow motion. There is SO MUCH to watch when you slow their scenes down and just observe them. Damn these are some excellent performances *_*

I love how the refrain, "Couldn't break us down" says so much about them... how Nasir came back from his horrific stab wound, how Agron came back from crucifixion... but even in a broader sense how they both survived enslavement and fought for their own freedom and for others as well. The refrain also feels incredibly triumphant against the image of Agron and Nasir walking away as survivors of it all.
