Why this vid kicks ass:

Why did I choose this fanvid? I chose it because it's all about fourth season Hutch and fourth season Hutch is my favorite Hutch ever.

First of all, this song is just meant for the show. Starsky and Hutch are growing apart and Hutch is taking it really bad. He is losing everything what had ever had any value for him and on the top of the list is losing Starsky. It begins with the hit in the garage in the Sweet Revenge and after that Hutch is recalling the last year, when everything went from bad to worse; every fight they had, every missed opportunity to mend things between them, every angry look and all bitter remarks. It's not easy while watching his best friend dying, but in the end Hutch realizes something what makes him smile again. Maybe he had lost everything important in his life, but the most precious thing came back to him at the end. And stayed.

You don't watch this fanvid – you feel, you hope, you hurt, and you even love and die with Hutch.

This vid is a masterpiece because to use only fourth season footage and to use it with such style, taste and feeling for the situation is really an art and only a few vidders can do it faultlessly. enednoviel is one of them.

Phil Collins - Against All Odds

How can I just let you walk away,
just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain,
and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me
is against all odds and that's what I've got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you,
well that's all I can do and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now,
'cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take, oh, oho

Just take a look at me now
