Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS
Pairing: None (Cowley/Annie in some way)
Author on LJ: finnhere2
Author Website: Finnhere2 fan fiction
Vidder website: Finnhere2 Vids
Musical Artist: Tommy Körberg (taken from the musical "Chess")
Why this must be watched:

There are very few Cowley-centered vids; I have all of them, I think, I like all of them (especially a rare B/C vid, which was made for me, very kindly at my request by one of the best vidder in the fandom, and now I regret that I didn't think of reccing it sooner, when I had the opportunity) but I love this one because it's a sharp psychological study as well as a beautiful piece of art, faithful to the character and deeply moving. It's a work of love, done by a talented author who shares my fondness for Cowley and my respect and admiration for Gordon Jackson.

The song's lyrics fit the vid's aims and meanings to perfection as does the music. Once you have heard this haunting, vibrant, dramatic melody you are doomed! At least I was: yearning for a repeat, I ended listening to it constantly, for hours. it's intoxicating. Some may even find it too dramatic and emotional but, personally I am totally for emotion, lyricism and dramatic power in music as in poetry.

Oops! I've got a problem: with the link you get not only the vid but my You Tube account, all my selections and comment and maybe even my mails. I have nothing to hide but it's perhaps too much information for you.

What to do? I have no other link.

You can click on the vid title, which takes you directly to the vid's main page. In this case it's

Thanks! I had taken the link from my page, unaware it was connected to the whole stuff. I tried to shorten the link by deleting what I thought was related to my account but that didn't work.

Glad to help. :) I'm not a Pros fan, but the vid looks (and sounds) great. Thanks for the rec!

Still thanks for the help and for commenting. Just out of curiosity: what attracted you to the vid if you weren't especially interested in the fandom?

[hardboiledbaby]

I have a number of Pros fans on my flist, and I've read a few of their stories. I've never actually seen the show, however. It's probably a fandom I could really get into, if my brain wasn't already crazy full *g*

When I saw your comment about the link, I took a gander and watched the vid before I responded. So, happy happenstance, actually. :)

I am myself more of an outcast (or a maverick) since I have elected a weird and unpopular pairing (see icon above). And my favourite is the Old Man.

Thanks

... for your recommendation, franciskerst! I feel very honoured, and even more so as I don't consider myself a real vidder, and also my interest in Pros is such a recent phenomena. But I agree, this was a work of love, and who couldn't appreciate a character like Mr Cowley, and the talent like Gordon Jackson...
