Okay, so I've watched this vid approximately eight million times now (give or take, obviously), and I wanted to make an actual comment instead of just running laps around my hotel room, flailing my hands like a lunatic. Because, really, this deserves comments. ;)
I sort of didn't read your comments the first time I watched the vid, and thus expected it to be over at a minute. And it kind of is over at a minute, because after Eleven flies into the sun, the story changes. And you've made basically two vids that are one vid, which is handy, because River and the Doctor have two stories. I also REALLY, REALLY adore the part where we get this version of the story (more or less) in RIVER'S order, because so far we've always come at it from The Doctor's.
I was unprepared for how much I liked the Ten sections, but when I went back and rewatched the library episodes (sometime after pellucid was converted, I think), I was struck by how much I didn't hate him (um...until the end, but we've talked about that), so I suppose it makes sense. He does give good sad face, and since we're following the story in River's Order, it's kind of the end.
I love the clip choices for "ten had been wrong" and "life looks much better in perspective" and the bit about the new verse. The whole first chorus JUST DESTROYS ME, particularly the bit where Eleven and the Fez materialize on the TARDIS, because I'm pretty sure if I wasn't already in love with him, that scene would have done me in the first time I saw it.
The shot with Rory's hand makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit. I've never had much tolerance for dismemberment. ;) But the DALEK! *hearts that scene to pieces*
And then the last "thousand good-byes" is just beautiful and sad. RIVER SONG! She is too awesome.
