Puntland - Season 9 Premiere Promo

2010 Grammy Awards

This year was particularly interesting to me as I've borrowed music by two of the talented women nominated for multiple Grammies.
BEST FEMALE POP VOCAL PERFORMANCE nominations went to Katy Perry for Hot N Cold and P!nk for Sober.
I loved interpreting both songs for Criminal Intent fanvids. As soon as I heard each song, I knew exactly what I could do with them.

Although she didn't sing Sober at the Grammies, P!ink did sing Glitter in the Air and her performance tonight should go down in history. (She sang Sober at the MTV Music Awards)
Unfortunately, neither of "my" ladies won Grammies, but P!nk was simply unforgettable.

Remember Save You?

Well one thing led to another today and I ended up on my Vimeo channel, a place I seldom go. Some sweet person (I'm assuming it was one person) regularly watched Sharp Dressed Man there when it was not viewable on YouTube. Now that Sharp Dressed Man is viewable on YT (still so baffled by that!) the person no longer visits my Vimeo channel! (I get email updates from Vimeo)

What I did find on Vimeo, that I had forgotten was there, was my Save You vid. It's been forever since I watched it. I'm embedding it here with Susan's astute comment which describes, in words, exactly what I was trying to say in video format!

CI - Save You from CI Musings on Vimeo. (It's bigger on the Vimeo site)

... you have brought a whole new light to the song - the light of Robert Goren. His need to try to save people - especially the emotionally wounded children he so identifies with - stems from his own family relationships and lack thereof. You've showed many of the ones he's tried to save - his mom, his brother, the children he comes into contact with in his cases, and of course, Eames - the only one who has tried to save him right back. And you've done it with the expert timing I have happily become accustomed to in your vids. Every time I think I couldn't possibly love Goren more, you create a vid that makes me fall in love with him all over again! Thank you for sharing your thoughtfully produced work.

Don't Tell Me Goodbye (Video)

This began as a birthday mini-vid on my blog in early October. Here is the expanded version. I hope you like it Antje!
I certainly didn't know the double-meaning the title would have could have when I started it. I am in denial that this series will be over (for me) at the start of Season 9.

Don't Tell Me Goodbye - Suzie McNeill

Its easy sometimes
To walk out of line
Its harder to get back what you lost (what you lost)
I know youre sad
Cuz you know what we had
Give me a chance to pay the cost
Ill do what I have to
Ill bear the cross

Tell me all the ways I made you feel mixed up inside
Tell me all the times I broke your heart and made you cry
Tell me that you hate me tell me that I ruined your life
But please dont tell me good bye
Tell me goodbye

Ive been confused
Nearly thought I could lose
I was hiding my feelings under my sleeve
Can you try to forget
Everything I regret
Im just a fool down on my knees
Say what you want
But just dont leave
Just dont leave

(Dont tell me goodbye)
Tell me all the ways I made you feel mixed up inside
(Dont tell me goodbye)
Tell me all the times I broke your heart and made you cry
(Dont tell me goodbye)
Tell me that you hate me tell me that I ruined your life
But please dont tell me good bye
Tell me goodbye

Oh, I dont want to live in a world without you baby
And Ill do anything that it takes to save our love this time
Tell me what Ive got to do
Cuz Ive got everything to lose

(Dont tell me goodbye)
Tell me all the ways I made you feel mixed up inside
(Dont tell me goodbye)
Tell me all the times I broke your heart and made you cry
(Dont tell me goodbye)
Tell me that you hate me tell me that I ruined your life, oh
Tell me that it feels like I stabbed you in the back with a knife
Tell me youll forgive me
Tell me how to make it right
But please dont tell me goodbye
Dont tell me goodbye
Dont tell me goodbye
Goodbye

Sharp Dressed Man returns from Purgatory

Hmmm, not even sure there is a Purgatory clip in here - oh, yes! there is!

Out of the blue today, I had a YouTube comment which made my day - it was on Sharp Dressed Man. But, but, but...... ? YouTube blocked Sharp Dressed Man almost right away (6 months ago) because of the song..... I had left it on my account, just like I have done with other vids that have been blocked.

So a big thanks to initialswitch for a) her surprised sweet comment and b) for alerting me that SDM was "Live" again!

So vid-makers shouldn't be discouraged. Things change....
