Criminal Intent - Great Companion (video)

"And some memories will never, ever fade..."

"And our history will never be erased."
Robert Goren and Alex Eames, Bobby and Alex, however you know them, they were our great companions for most of the last 10 years.

This is a request for jclaymate123, who has since closed her YT account. If someone knows her, perhaps they can let her know this vid is here.

There are 49 episodes included here - hard to believe, eh?  I love how Season 10, after the Loyalty hug, is so bright!  That wasn't me doing that, it was the production and I though it created such a satisying ending during the instrumental "epilogue".  It's like they will go on and on forever.

There really was nothing new here, except a few kernals of expression that I might not have highlighted before. Sorry about that..... I decided to choose scenes, rather than orphan random clips for this. A 5 minute video was a huge challenge!  And yet it wasn't enough time.  I need to go back to the series DVDs and watch full episodes for real satisfaction!

I hope you enjoy Great Companion!
P.S.  Thanks to Susan for acquiring the acoustic version of Great Companion!

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

Criminal Intent - Save You (Music Vid)

CI - Save You from CI Musings on Vimeo.

This vid is not available on YouTube and Imeem is no longer showing personal videos, so thank goodness there is still Vimeo - I knew there was a reason I started this blog....

"I wish I could save you...
I won't give up till it's over....
I'll be there for you"
All these lyrics so aptly describe the Robert Goren we know.
This song coupled with this theme have been chewing away at my brain for months and it was finally time to get it out of my system.

This amazing song is by the Canadian group Simple Plan (they also wrote Perfect) and there is a huge story behind it. You can read it on their site here. You must see it. All proceeds from each downloaded sale will be distributed to cancer charities around the world, through the Simple Plan Foundation. You will recognize some of the faces in their video, but Canadians will particularly recognize Belinda Stronach (former Member of Parliament), Mark Dailey (broadcaster) and Rene Angelil (Celine Dion's husband).

I was going to say these guys don't write love stories, but they do. The ones I have used for my videos are just not the obvious angsty boy/girl kind.

Thanks to Susan for reminding me about a few of the episodes that hadn't occurred to me!
I own nothing but the lettering at the end of the intro.


Simple Plan - Save You

Take a breath I pull myself together
Just another step until I reach the door
You'll never know the way it tears me up inside to see you

Ooh Ooh
I wish that I could tell you something
Ooh Ooh
To take it all away

Sometimes I wish I could save you
And there's so many things that I want you to know
I won't give up til it's over
If it takes you forever I want you to know

When I hear your voice it's drowning in the whispers
You're just skin and bones
There's nothing left to take and no matter what I do
I can't make you feel better

Ooh Ooh
If only I could find the answer
Ooh Ooh
To help me understand

Sometimes I wish I could save you
And there's so many things that I want you to know
I won't give up til it's over
If it takes you forever I want you to know that

If you fall, stumble down
I'll pick you up off the ground
If you lose faith in you
I'll give you strength to pull through
Tell me you won't give up
Cause I'll be waiting if you fall you know
I'll be there for you

Ooh Ooh
If only I could find the answer
Ooh Ooh
To take it all away

Sometimes I wish I could save you
And there's so many things that I want you to know
I won't give up til it's over
If it takes you forever I want you to know

I wish I could save you
I want you to know
I wish I could save you
