On 26 [[March 2009]], [[Chris]] released a music video for [[Ivy]], his then [[sweetheart]], known as '''CWC Music Video Holding Out For a Hero'''.
[[File:CWCVictoryForIvy.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The hero that Ivy is (ostensibly) holding out for.]]


Chris would later reupload this video to his [[IBAChandler]] [[YouTube]] account on 29 [[July 2009]], despite his relationship with Ivy ending months earlier.  
'''CWC Music Video Holding Out For a Hero''' is an elaborate (by Chris's standards) [[Chris and music|music]] [[video]] created for his then-[[sweetheart]] [[Ivy]]. It was uploaded to [[YouTube]] on 26 [[March 2009]], and later reuploaded to Chris's [[IBAChandler]] account on 29 [[July 2009]], despite his relationship with Ivy ending months earlier. The music video pairs a cover (wailed over a music track) of Bonnie Tyler's "[[wikipedia:Holding Out For a Hero|Holding Out For a Hero]]" with footage of Chris and the Sonichu comic. It is quite possibly one of Chris's most well-known videos.
 
The song showcases his many failings in music, such as his lack of preparation and poor timing. He once again uses his ''[[Guitar Hero]]'' controller to try and prove that he has musical ability, and mimes intense solos (whammy bar included) to a song with no guitar work. To his credit, this video shows that Chris has some editing ability- even if the entire video is presented in a grainy, ghastly, yellowed fashion due to [[PSEye|poor treatment of his camera]] and the subpar lighting in his bedroom.

“ Despite just meeting me, I told him I already “felt a connection with him. I feel like you're my hero. I have this vision of you rescuing me from my school on a horse. I want you to make a video just like that." At this point he was all in. ”
Ivy[1]
The hero that Ivy is (ostensibly) holding out for.

CWC Music Video Holding Out For a Hero is an elaborate (by Chris's standards) music video created for his then-sweetheart Ivy. It was uploaded to YouTube on 26 March 2009, and later reuploaded to Chris's IBAChandler account on 29 July 2009, despite his relationship with Ivy ending months earlier. The music video pairs a cover (wailed over a music track) of Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out For a Hero" with footage of Chris and the Sonichu comic. It is quite possibly one of Chris's most well-known videos.

The song showcases his many failings in music, such as his lack of preparation and poor timing. He once again uses his Guitar Hero controller to try and prove that he has musical ability, and mimes intense solos (whammy bar included) to a song with no guitar work. To his credit, this video shows that Chris has some editing ability- even if the entire video is presented in a grainy, ghastly, yellowed fashion due to poor treatment of his camera and the subpar lighting in his bedroom.

Description

I dedicate this Music Video to Ivy. :)

Also, in addition to if anyone messes up this relationship, if anyone messes with Ivy, Period, I Swear to God and Jesus that I will cease drawing my comics and efforts to recovering the Sonichu Site. As long as y'all just Back Off, everyone's cool.
Have a good day.
