Trying to Love You (( Rayna & Deacon ))

So easy and so hard // Trying to love you
My muse was not ready to vid anything else. Part of what I love about them is that they have so much history. They've known each other for so long and it's messy and complicated and we've only begun to find out the details of their backstory. I've been trying to figure out for months if I could work out a way to do flashbacks and incorporate their history into a vid. I was trying to avoid using anything too recent at first but had to work with what I had and I think it gets the point across
So my last two vids have been fairly equally split between both of their POVs but this one is all Rayna. It's about everything they've been through over the years and his addiction and her well, trying to love him
Clips: Nashville, 24 (thanks Kat!), American Horror Story, Big Love, Cold Case, Escape Clause, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw "Let's Make Love", General Hospital, Rascal Flatts "Changed", Spin City, Supernatural, Twelve Miles to Trona, Walk the Line

Well done, I love the making of history you did here. It partly helps people understand what Nashville does not show. But great job, having flashbacks like this would been great on Nashville..

omg this is soooo awesome i adore what you did. adding scenes from other movies... OMG. and i will always compare Rayna and Deacon to Johnny and June, they are soooo THE SAME. So I love this video and you made it sooooo perfecly fit! awesome!

[@DylanLovesBrenda]

OMG this is by far the best video I have seen, put together beautifully from other projects they were in. WOW just WOOOOOOW!

What a great portayal of their relationship. I wished Nashville would have chosen to show actual flashbacks to their history, cause I don't think even half of the audience know how hard Rayna has faught to keep this relationship alive. I know a lot of people are angry she kept Maddie a secret, but she had her reasons. The clips you showed were so real and can easily go on the show. GREAT JOB. I even love them more know..

OMG YOU MADE IT. I've been playing with this idea but the thought of going through all that material and finding the clips and making the manips seemed so daunting AND HERE YOU DID IT TO PERFECTION. I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER. Every scene was so carefully chosen, so freaking impressive. I know how much work that is and I just admire you so much right now:D And how perfect is the song. Oh just let me die here. I'm gonna watch this 184872983 times. Thanks.

I Love that you've got bits of Faith and Tim this is great!

[@onesweetmemory1]

I hope these two get back together. They have amazing chemistry. Love the video and song. Thank you.

Really impressive video with the clips. Love the Trisha Yearwood version of the song.

Wonderful.

I still can't watch those scenes right at the end of your mv here. Too upsetting and distressing. It makes me feel sad just writing about it now. I forgot quite how sad it makes me feel. Here in the UK we have to wait till February. I feel like I'm quite happy to do that though (for once). I mean why hurry up the process of seeing all that hurt again and pain and distress? :( :( :(

this is beautiful! just beautiful!

[@beckyponton6762]

Great work! Loved the flashbacks.

[@BigLstyle33]

It's torture seeing your soulmate with another man.

[@raquel975692]

aww i love them..great show and they are my OTP

[@OurGodReigns]

Sorry I made a mistake there. My reply was meant to be: Yes I totally understand why RayRay never told Deke the truth about Maddie. When I saw D&R arguing in the car it just hit me what it must've been like before & especially for Rayna. I was like 'This is what it used to be like back then isn't it. They've been here before'. SO sad. Utterly devastating. P.S. Meant to put at end of post 1: "I mean why hurry up the process of seeing all that hurt again and pain and distress again? :( :( :("

[@FolkintheBarn]

great song written by the wonderful Beth Nielsen Chapman

[@OurGodReigns]

They'll get their *happy ending*! 'Happily ever after's too fairy tale and that's just not Deke and Ray. I mean that it's not gonna be perfect and fluffy and easy like in a fairy tale but as long as their together it's gonna be awesome and happy and right!!

[@ashtonmcmillen3766]

Wow! I love your video! I've been doing videos for about a year and a half now, and I know that had to really be a lot of work! What video editing software do you use? I've been unhappy with my for a while since it won't let me do slow motion of clip fading at all. Great job, though! :)

[@pollocktoni]

I love this show, but, honestly, only care about Rayna and Deacon getting together.

[@OurGodReigns]

I just wish the video(/series) didn't have to have such a devastating end but that's not your fault. DO YOU HEAR ME TPTB??? Hanging out for a reunion, that's me! They'll get their happily ever after!

*now
