Criminal Minds - Emily Prentiss - Calls Me Home (video)

Yes, I'm cheating on Robert Goren again, I'm afraid...  At lease it's "Criminal" something!

I was so upset when they wrote Emily Prentiss out of Criminal Minds!  I guess it’s a case of not realizing how much you care about something till it’s gone. 
When I heard they were bringing her back, I was dancing the happy dance and it must have been a BIG happy dance - enough to tip me into vidding a new fandom - and so the months of work began.


My fond thanks to the vibrant Paget Brewster for bringing the intelligent, feisty and caring Emily Prentiss to life on the screen.  Welcome back!
Hopefully they now know each other’s secrets and Hotch won’t continue to pay the price for keeping Emily’s from Morgan….  What burdens Hotch bears.


I hope this vid is up to joining some very amazing Criminal Minds fanvids.  I’ve been a fan since Day 1 and have enjoyed every minute of making this vid.  It was fun finding clips of Emily with each of her teammates. Some clips were obvious choices, some I fell on unexpectedly, only recalling them when quickly reviewing an episode. I'm pretty nervous about sharing it with hardcore fans!
I adore this song. Video creation happens way faster when I can't get the song out of my head....  And I knew I was spending too much time vidding when I was dreaming about Hotch - and he wasn't even the focus of this vid! 
This video should be viewable everywhere.  When you see it anywhere else on YouTube, there is no link to iTunes and I have had no email from YT about using the song.
Here are the lyrics.  I hope you enjoy the video.
Calls Me Home – Shannon LaBrie
It's funny how, the walk of life,
Can take you down without a fight.
So many years, can lay behind,
Regretfully until it's time,
To realize the moment,
When you turn around.

I'm coming home to breathe again,
To start again,
I'm coming home,
From all the places I have been,
With nothing but a voice within,
That calls me, calls me home.

Back in the day when I was younger,
I was so lost and proud.
I've gained the world but it will never,
Compare to what I've earned.
In the quiet moment,
When the earth holds still.

I'm coming home to breathe again,
To start again,
I'm coming home,
From all the places I have been,
With nothing but a voice within,
That calls me, calls me home,
Calls me home.

I'm coming home to breathe again,
To start again,
I'm coming home to breathe again,
To start again,
I'm coming home,
From all the places I have been,
With nothing but a voice within,
That calls me...
