(password: overhere)


Speed up, you're right behind
You go slow you take your time
But anymore it won't be so free
Anymore it won't be so easy

Big bass, a tempo, the beat
Why shake, shake at your feet
Let it kick what they can't defeat
You'll hear me

I'm over here, I'm over here
I'm over here, I'm over here
Come over here, come over here
Come over here, come over here
Come over

Too slow, how to get you to move
You got a hoop you won't need to jump though
Stuff you want me to wear and I'll wear it just for you
Any day soon, until the day
Give me a moment, it won't take you long
To make it clear enough

I'm over here, I'm over here
I'm over here, I'm over here
Come over here, come over here
Come over here, come over here
Come over

Yay, Asami! She has some awesome moments for vidding.

[usuallyhats]

She really does! ♥

Asami yay! I love this. The song is so great for centering the story on Asami, like hey, look over here, where she's being awesome and individual and unexpected. I love the sort of wryness when she's in the background or behind Korra/Mako and how you focused on her choosing to fight her father in the second verse. And I love how she just deals with both of those things, and doesn't fold or put up with it, because she's awesome. And Asami/driving fast/controlling technology in general is always the best.

Thank you!

like hey, look over here, where she's being awesome and individual and unexpected
*nods* that's exactly what I was going for, glad it came across! :D

And Asami/driving fast/controlling technology in general is always the best.
YES. I am hoping for lots more of that in season 2.

Asami is so great! This is really fun. I lost it when she winked on the beat, and didn't stop smiling the whole way through.

[usuallyhats]

Thank you! I love Asami so much. ♥

[scintilla10]

Oh, yay! This is great. <3

[usuallyhats]

Thank you! :D

Woooow, this is awesome! \o/ I love everything about it! I love how it moves, I love the beginning, I love the bit with the flashbacks, and I love everything you've done with Asami's story. Basically YAAAAAAAYYYYYY.

[usuallyhats]

Yay, thank you! \o/ (Glad you liked the beginning, I had it in my head as a thing I wanted to do right from the start, and then nearly scrapped it because I couldn't get it to work for ages...)

I've never seen anything from this show (or the other Avatar) beyond trailers, gifs and fannish osmosis, but this lady seems like she is AWESOME and I would very much like to meet her. The tone of the song was fabulously stylish and kind of...dismissively snarky at the same time. Great fun to watch - and ONE DAY I will watch the show and I'm sure get even more out of it... :D

[usuallyhats]

:D really glad you enjoyed it despite not having seen Legend of Korra! Asami is FANTASTIC, I'm sure you'd like her.

[purplefringe]

Yaaaaaay Asami! LOOK AT HER BEING AWESOME OVER HERE. <3 This vid is so wonderful and dynamic and ever so slightly snarky (in a really good way) :-)

[usuallyhats]

*g* thank you! :D (and thank you again for betaing, all your comments were really helpful. ♥)

[tehlime]

Oh man, what an excellent video! I love it, such great editing. The way you timed certain motions so they happened on the beat, not to mention the whole ending... Just awesome!

[usuallyhats]

Thank you! :D
