Why this vid kicks ass:
Because watching this video reminds me of some of the reasons why I love Cam so very much: he's a dork, he feels everything deeply; his heart is huuuge, he's so damn earnest, he can still feel awe, he just wants to be 'team', he's funny or at least thinks he is, he can't stay down because he doesn't know how, he hides behind the superficial southern good ole boy he projects, and he's gorgeous with the prettiest blue eyes. I think the song really embodies his philosophy. He does live his life like it's now or never; he wants to grab life by the throat and just live.
On the technical side (which I know nothing about) I love the way the clips echo the music, how they flow into each other, and where they resonate with the lyrics. I especially love how she paired the clips with shout it loud (I remember that scene which makes this so funny) stood their ground which totally chokes me up knowing what happens to them, going to live forever with the downed 302 which breaks my heart. And you do not know how much I love the Tommy and Gina bit. As you can tell, I watched this vid many, many, many times. Maaany times. I enjoyed watching each time. I have to admit there were a couple of times, I got tears in my eyes. Well, okay, more than a couple. A few.

And the Jack/Daniel friendship vid A Friend To Me on this site is beautiful

OK, I'm now totally hooked on this and getting nothing done, mainly for the shot of Cam and his 302 pilots on 'this is for the ones who stood their ground.' It breaks my heart every time, and also makes me want lots and lots of stories about them and Cam before the battle.

Thank you very much for recc'ing this!

I think there is soooo much potential for stories during that time. Beautiful, sad, angsty, sweet, cute, funny, the possibilities are *infinite*! There was a little said during the show, but not a lot, about Cam's previous team. I would love to see their day-to-day, to see how Cam copes with losing them all, in one way or another.
