NaViMaMo Vidlet: My Love, the Astronaut [Doctor Song, um, Who]

[beccatoria]

For ladymercury_10! So, obviously this song was supposed to be from River's POV. Therefore I decided to give it to the Doctor. I think I thought I was being subversive...

I will index and crosspost all vidlets at the end of November or when I've done all the prompts if I decide to keep going to finish them.

This one is weird for me, because I love this song and have listened to it way too many times (despite not really caring much for some stuff Amanda Palmer has done/said).

Anyway this is a really interesting take on it. I like how you reversed it and made River the astronaut with the Doctor professing his feelings for her. Love the little touches that fit so well with the lyrics as well.

Yes, it's definitely always strange to see a you're very familiar with used in a new context in a vid. It doesn't happen to me as often as it probably should because I have an awful knowledge of popular music, but it has happened to me. I've actually never really heart much Amanda Palmer, so I came to the song cold, but I did love her voice and the dynamic use of the percussive piano.

I'm glad the reversal works for you. I had a fun time vidding that; River is so open about her feelings about him, even though she can't really say anything yet, but the Doctor's feelings are...much more rooted in subtext, at least "officially", but that subtext is so clear to me it was fun to pull it to the forefront.
