Devotion

If I am right
If I can be
Constant and faithful
Youll find me

In my devotion
In my devotion

What if you find a fault
Between my purpose and my deeds
And deem me beyond salvation
Judge me to be unworthy

Of your devotion
Of your devotion

If this be obsession deliver me
A passing infatuation deliver me
A feeling lacking in purity deliver me
A test of fidelity deliver me
Deliver me
Deliver me

What if I should find
Youre no good for me
What if I cant be strong enough
What if I cant break free

Of my devotion
Of my devotion


Notes: There are many people to thank for this -- laurashapiro, beta extraordinaire, who was patient and incredibly helpful; morgandawn, who walked me through the final draft and some encoding issues; thefourthvine for encouragement and helping me hook up with a beta; and sprat, who first insisted I try my hand at this, then provided some missing source, and is now providing hosting.

This is my first vid, so any and all comments/constructive criticism are welcome.

Oh, I love this to itty bitty bits! It's by far my favorite LoM vid that I've seen so far (though, considering I've only been in the fandom for *cough* about a week, I suppose that's not as impressive as it could be!). The song is gorgeous, the editing is lovely, and the whole thing so wonderfully captures the feeling of the show and Sam's life and how he feels about the others. It's a beautiful vid and I'll probably be playing it on repeat for quite awhile. :)

Oh, thank you. That means a lot to me. There are a number of really, really brilliant Life on Mars vids out there that you probably haven't run into yet -- Have you seen Crazy, or Too Much Light in this Bar?
