Criminal Intent - Hands Up (video)

The idea of a "hands" video started over a year ago for Tjara's birthday when I made her a mini-vid which you can see here.  Unfortunately, the song I used for her video is by Simple Plan and I've had two other full length videos (two of my best!) using Simple Plan songs banned by YouTube.  I think I've learned my lesson.

When Hedley came out with this song, my opportunity arrived and I've had a blast making this video.  A BIG thanks to the cimusers who told me where to find specific clips from episodes I couldn't remember and for suggesting some favourite "hand" clips.  Now crank up the volume and enjoy!

This is my first HD video and is best viewed *full SCREEN* on YouTube rather than smaller.



YouTube has banned this video in Germany, so here it is on Vimeo (it plays better small on Vimeo than YouTube).

Hands Up – Hedley

Oh my god, something is wrong
I'm floating down a river
Where I don't belong without you
Cause if I fall without you

Now I see, it's all clear to me
I can do a lot of things
But I could never be without you
Cause if I fall without you

PRE-CHORUS
And you pick me up when I am down (pick me up)
And you make me smile

CHORUS
So hands up, take it all away
If I got you, then I'll be okay
I know now everybody say,
"If I got you I like it that way."

Oh my god, nothing is fine
I go a little crazy
Cause I'm losing my mind without you
Cause if I fall without you (if I fall)

Come what may, all I gotta say
I could have a lot of fun
But I don't wanna play without you
Cause if I fall without you (woo)

PRE-CHORUS
You pick me up when I am down (pick me up now)
And you make me smile

CHORUS
So hands up, take it all away
If I got you, then I'll be okay
I know now everybody say,
"If I got you I like it that way."

Without you I don't have a reason
Without you I don't have a song
Cause all my days I live to praise you
Make me want to scream and shout it out
It's all I gotta say

CHORUS
Hands up, take it all away
If I got you, then I'll be okay
I know now everybody say,
"If I got you I like it that way."

Hands up, take it all away
If I got you, then I'll be okay
I know now everybody say,
"If I got you I like it that way."
If I got you, then I'll be okay
"If I got you I like it that way."

(Like it that way, like it that way,
like it that way, like it that way,
like it that way, like it that way,
like it that way)

Criminal Intent - You Could be Happy (video)

Several months ago my friend Susan created a video in her head! She shared the song she had used and broke the lyrics down as shown below.

She said "It's moot now, but it was suitable for after Loyalty, and before the announcements of their return." I don't suppose this video even comes close to what she had "in mind".

I hope you enjoy it anyway Susan! It's safe to watch seeing they're coming back! Merry Christmas!


"You Could Be Happy" (Snow Patrol)

Eames to Goren:

You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go

And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head

Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur

Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door

Goren to Eames:

You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far

Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true

Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do

More than anything I want to see you, girl
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

It's been a while since I checked in here.  Not because I've forgotten about Criminal Intent, far from it.  This is a blog post I've been meaning to do for ages, ever since havers sent along a photo of Goren's back.  I don't think anyone dislikes this view of him.....

and how about this:

Or this

and, of course, this

About Movie-Making

Although this has nothing to do with Criminal Intent, it was so beautifully made that I wanted to share it. 
Rembrandt - it makes me think of Rembrandt. I wish I could paint portraits.

Vincent D'Onofrio shares his thoughts about acting and making movies.



This video was made at the Savannah Film Festival.

Kathryn said Yes!

I'm borrowing from my friends for this blogpost.  The title is the same one havers used and says it all!  The content is from Susan, our Binder Administrator and Courier.  I couldn't have said it as well.  Thanks Susan!

Eames vs Callas?

Now considering Kathryn Erbe has not announced she is returning to Criminal Intent, this is a bit premature.  But in spite of setting oneself up for disappointment, it's hard not to speculate on what could be in Season 10 of Criminal Intent.

So there is a new captain: Zoe Callas (I had to look this up as I haven't watched an episode since Goren and Eames left).  Obviously to get to this point Callas must be a strong woman.  As my friend Tjara pointed out, Callas has the job Eames should have had.  True.  True also that Eames turned it down. 

Now wouldn't it be interesting to have some roll reversal going on in Season 10?

In previous years it's been Goren butting heads with Ross - and Eames cutting through the crap (see this blog post for those antics).  But how about two strong women going head to head?  Will Goren be the one smoothing the waters?  The dynamics could be absolutely fascinating and add even more insight to the characters we already love!

Come on Kathryn!  Please announce your return to Criminal Intent!
