Overwhelmed. In a good way.

Grab some popcorn and download this video by sabaceanbabe, which she made for me after I won her in the Sweet Charity auction for RAINN earlier this spring.
It's a Supernatural video (including clips from both seasons - pilot through season finale) set to the Finn Brothers' Won't Give In, and it's astoundingly amazing. It's just such a *brothers* video and tells their story in concert with the song so beautifully - I cried the first time I saw it.

Also, I got a wonderful giftfic in the spn_summergen fic exchange this week! Anon Author wrote Things That Go Boom, which features sparkler-fighting, some perfectly crafted angst (oh, boys!), a bit of hunting, a fanclub of kids and an amazing ending.

And yeah, Stephen King made me cry. (No HP spoilers, just King theorizing a bit.)

'nuff said, right there: I already know that it will rock! Am downloading, and will fangirl her appropriately. And thank YOU for requesting such an awesome combination :)

I had a feeling you would! I'm looking forward to reading your review, actually. And how could I not request it? I actually gave her a choice of a few songs - Won't Give In, A Life Between Us, Into the Sunset and Roadtrip - and this is what she chose.

Have you ever seen the Tim & Neil video for it? It's here.

Oh wow, that vid is just amazing. Will go give her feedback when it's not 4am ;-)

Thanks for the youtube link. I never saw any of the Finn Bros videos before, and must go looking for more now.

I got a shock to see them with so much grey hair, though; I think in my mind they're frozen in time to maybe 10 years ago. When I did see them in London in 2005, I was way at the back and there were no video screens, so I didn't get much of a view of them.

I also had some squee moments while watching, recognising places around Auckland where the video was filmed (the train station, the motorway, a busy intersection downtown, a bus company I've used...)

Ha! I just finished reading that exact Stephen King article and linked it in my journal! I totally agree with what he's saying, just as I agree that I'm likely going to need tissues for book seven.

I'm still just so jazzed about the vid. *bounce* *twirls you*

The fic sounds wonderful, so I've got it bookmarked to read. You just can't go wrong with sparkler fights. :P I really need to get more in tune with SPN comms, because I didn't know about this summergen fic exchange thing until just the last couple of days.

That video is absolutely beautiful. And I've made sure i told her so. Thanks for posting!!! It really brightened my morning.
