storiesWhy this vid kicks ass:I was impressed when I saw this vid at Vividcon this summer.
Angel is particularly suited to rap music because of its gritty urban setting, the preponderance of night scenes, and the violence of the battles. It's very much a story of warriors, and testorerone-driven, angry aspect of rap suits the series and the character. I'm not a fan of rap in general, and but this song's lyrics, full of hope even in the midst of struggle, speak to me:
This morning, I woke up
Feeling brand new, I jumped up
Feeling my highs, and my lows
In my soul, and my goalsZee captured the spirit of Faith with this song--her valiant spirit and her struggle to find her way, the light and dark in her soul fighting for supremacy. Angel's got a crucial place in Faith's story, and the scenes in the vid make that clear. A viewer can see this as either shippy or commentary on the kinship they feel for one another, you choice. Personally, I never shipped Buffy/Angel, so in my view, Faith would have been a better choice for Angel, if he had only been smart enough to realize that he didn;t have to be afraid of her darkness bringing out his inner demon.
