No, that sounds similar to how I conceive of it! (I mean, I didn't-vid but thought about vidding for many years before I actually started doing it.) Songs often remind me of movies/shows, but when I really start wanting to vid them, it's usually because I've started linking very specific imagery up to very specific lines such that I have a kind of proto-vid that plays in my head whenever I hear the song.

I have done the reverse a couple times, too -- here's a vid idea, now I'll find a song that matches it -- but in both cases it was for an assignment and a deadline. Also a fun experience, but something I'm a lot less likely to feel inspired to put in the work to do on my own.
