Maybe This Time
Having spent your entire life
Exactly where you are tonight
In the valley between intent and deed

You must have mastered this
The fragile art of a good excuse
And the little things that get you to believe
that get you to believe

So listen I'm not trying to prove anything at all here
But don't you think that maybe this time you were wrong?

You've spent your entire life
Quick-tongued and always right
Hasn't being right just let you down (right just let you down)

So listen I'm not trying to say anything at all here
There isn't much left anyway that hasn't been said
But don't you think that possibly this time its different
Don't you think that maybe this time you were wrong?

So listen I'm not trying to say anything at all here
There isn't much left anyway that hasn't been said
But don't you think that possibly this time its different
Don't you think that maybe this time you were wrong?

Yes! I saw this video when you first posted in the Avatar comm, and wanted to comment but lost track of it, so just, commenting now.

The mood is amazing. Very...solemn. I really liked how you had everything hitting so perfectly, letting the tension build and then having a fast cut (like to Ozai looking over the funeral attendants) or motion whenever the guitar hit. And I also liked that you had a mix of clips from earlier and later episodes, and the fluidity with how you linked everything. It's a really affecting, I don't know-- presentation of him. And all his issues.

I hope you don't mind, I linked to it in a fanmix I made, since I included the song and wanted to credit you. This video = love. (This comment = belated.)

Oh, thank you ever so much. I'm so glad to hear that you liked it, as this vid had a bit of a difficult time in coming together. *draws little hearts around Zuko*

The song was pretty much a perfect fit for Zuko and for what I wanted to say, so I'm glad to hear that it resonated with you as well.

Thank you very much!
