VID REC: 'Lullaby for a Stormy Night' [The Sound of Music]

Sometimes I come across a vid that is just so simple technically, but is SO powerful in its perfect narrative organization and clip placement, that I just finish it with my mouth gaping and my heart pounding. I'm so amazed by these kinds of vids. I can watch them over and over again and never get tired of them because they just feel like they were made for the source, illuminating in such a special way pieces I loved but never put together quite like the vid does, and the source is never the same to me again. THIS is one of those vids, done by barkley for festivids, using Vienna Teng's 'Lullably for a Stormy Night' for Maria in The Sound of Music. I'll admit it, by the end, she had me tearing up. Honestly.

If you've watched and loved The Sound of Music over the years like I have, go, watch, enjoy Maria in all her simple glory, and leave the vidder some love. If you've never seen the movie, go and watch the vid anyway. I swear it will still get to you. It really is just one of those vids.
