Why this vid kicks ass:
I'm crap at talking about vids, and when I recced this on my LJ, it was basically one long flail about how awesome it was, and it really is awesome (OMG SIMON/RIVER *flail*), but I'll try to do better here.
What I really like about this vid is the way it shows exactly how far Simon is willing to go -- how far he does go -- for River, and how she will do the same for him. It's beautifully put together, and it incorporates text and photographs in way that helps tell Simon and River's story -- the letters and photographs, as well as the text of the quotes that are so integral to their characterization and relationship ("You gave up everything to find me, and you found me broken." "Everything I have is right here.") give it an interesting visual texture that makes it feel like a real document of their relationship, like flipping through a scrapbook of letters and photographs they've saved to hold onto each during their separation, and while Simon tries to figure out how to put River back together again.
The vid focuses almost completely on Simon and River, much as they are often so wholly focused on each other, to the exclusion of everyone else. Plus, the song really works for me, because everything Simon does for River is done for love of her, and it drives him far and hard, to things he was never meant to face or have to do, but he does face and do them for her.
