And I wrote the silly thing! Clarity's death and the final scenes do make me emotional. My friend Ian (Under Amber's Spell) thought that The Scientist was a bit too upbeat to use, but I inisted on using that song. I just couldn't imagine the finale without it.

And I often think that if you get truly emotional about what your characters are going through, and not because it logically should be sad, then you've hit the nail on the head, and have a true piece of honest writing.

I felt you got that anyway...

"No body said it was easy.." - Ian thinks that song's upbeat??? It's beautiful, but it sure ain't cheery *veg*

Not just from home any more, but he's great. I'll tell him you were asking for him!

He's also massively jealous as he wants to write a whole bunch of fic and doesn't have the time - poor thing!

I think he meant the tempo more than the actual song itself. He said that lyrically it was spot on. It's just that the song actually inspired the ending for me, so I couldn't let it go. I wanted that to be the closing song. Initially I had Faith doing a voiceover, talking about moments of clarity in a person's life, but I'm glad I went for the song now.
