Running Up That Hill (Kirk/Spock) 

The editing is so mesmerizing together with song, I can watch it over and over and not only not enough of it, I enjoyed it as I watched it the first time

This, and T. Jonesy and Killa's "Closer", are the two best Spirk videos ever made. IMHO.

spirk tears my heart apart

This more than them being Captain and First Officer. Kirk is one the few people that really understands Spock, except his mother, and loves him for it. To Kirk, Spock isn't a freak, but a man and a person worthy of frienship and companionship. what Kirk is giving to Spock is his all. Spock would be a fool to throw away what Kirk is offering.

I love the effects, how they are in tune with the music and give one the feeling of a heartbeat throughout the whole video

I had a disgusting day - I watched this clip and I'm beginning to feel much better. Thank you once again

LOVED IT each scene was there with purpose, not just ranndom emotional moments like Ive seen in so many others. YAY much for the love!

Captain Kirk is Beautiful. Song is haunting. This work is amazing.

This is the greatest Kirk/Spock video on the internet. Bravo, my friend. Bravo. Tears.:)

I don't get why so many of you are writing mean things here! This video is beautiful and masterfully made. Thank you gin1119!

So many good videos are set to this song. This is no exception!! Put together very well, with good effects.

Hot dammit, that was beautiful. Well done. Left me short of breath, that did.

Capt Kirk is magnetic!

@hopingtoflyaway I'll acknowledge K/S in terms of how pivotal it is to fanfic history. It may not be everyone's thing, but back in the pre-internet days, if you didn't want to read Mary Sue, you usually wound up with slash. K/S broke the barrier and opened the door for a wider range of expression, from intense brotherhood to romance - not just for Trek, but for other sci-fi, and even cop shows. That being said, the video is very well-constructed.

This is my favorite video and I can't stop playing it! XD "like" just isnt enough to describe this, I wish I could have it on my iPod cause running up that hill is one of my favorite songs too. Its just too perfect to have my favorite things all in one. Thank you so much for creating it and sharing it with the rest of us =]

Okay, your comment here really made me smile and go all gooey. It's obvious you love these characters. Yeah, fanfiction is a beast of it's own. It's the internet so there's a lot of porn out there. I often get frustrated with the way fanfiction depicts characters, in Star Trek and other fandoms as well. There are a few good authors who take the time to write Kirk/Spock in the deep epic way their story would demand, but I have to wade through all the crap first of course.

Once again, I find myself favouriteing one of your vids. It's time for me to face facts: I must subscribe. Awesome work!

One of the most deep and just plain beautiful vids I've seen. When I got the the end I had to sit back and mouth "wow" to myself. This is truly amazing.

There's a reason this was the pairing the coined slash. Amok Time, Shore Leave and movies 1-3 have the most obvious examples. Gene also created the word T'hy'la in the novelization of the first film and Spock uses it to refer to Jim in the book. T'hy'la means friend, brother, lover. People will take from that what they will. Gene also stated several times that he based Kirk and Spock's relationship on Alexander and Hephaestion, who were warriors, brothers in arms, and also lovers.

This is beautiful, such rich storytelling and the effect on the clips worked really well witht he mood of the piece, awesome!

This video is completely amazing.

You do vids for my favourite ships, you like Star Trek, you obviously have a fine taste where music is concerned (Placebo and Jeff Buckley)... Girl, you must be perfect! Simple as it is. Keep on and make me a happier person!

Wonderfully done! 5 stars

oh. my god. that was awesome. mind-blowing. loved it. 5 stars and fave'd.

Oh, that was awesome! Wonderful and inspiring editing job. Great! And a beautiful song. Thanks for sharing...

This is brilliantly done.

I saw in an interview somewhere (I think it was on one of the season 1 DVDs) where some of the writers were talking about exactly this, how Kirk, Spock and McCoy represent the three parts of a whole human. Kirk being the body, Spock the mind, and McCoy emotions. We see this happening in the series a lot. McCoy is often calling out Kirk and Spock (especially Spock) when they're not being emotionally honest.

I loved it!!! You are an excellent video editor!! *favs*

You read more into it than I do :) I like the music, Kirk/Spock/Star Trek and the coloring of the videos. I don't know what it

wow, just... wow. two things: 1. i never knew placebo did a version of this song. i really REALLY like it. great choice! 2. great job with the editing. :) its HAWT.

I love it. The song, the clips. Now I wish I had my own Spock. Nimoy was sexy back then. If i was 20 years older for once.

AMAZING. This was so perfectly edited.

Uh Knerdzilla that was no mind meld Spock was trying to ease Kirk memorie of someone man i forget ^_^ loved it!

this is so personal, i can hardly bear to watch it

Oh my God, this vid gives me the shivers, it's so perfect and so beautiful and so evocative. What is it about Placebo that just seems to FIT with K/S? This is easily one of the best K/S fanvids on RU-vid and I can't get enough of watching it!

Wow, Gin, how do you do that? That videos is awesome! Still have goosebumps! Can't wait for your next video :-)

hot! hot hot hot. deep. dark. mesmerising. compelling. superb. bravo!

Amazing. The kiss at the end was great, the mouth and chin area even looked similar to Nimoy's!

WOW! That was beautiful!

Thanx Gin, I just melted a little.

Amazing!

LOVE THIS!

i love this version and kate bush's. great vid

Spirk forever!!!

ohhh... so beautiful video! Perfect! Great job!

excellent work, when you made it look like they were being affectionate with each other was so well put together bravo!

perfect, realy. words fail...

Amazing video, very well done. Placebo and Spirk, what more could a girl ask for?

wow this is such a beautiful video ... bit speechless at the moment :P

I was wondering about that too! Makes sense... Easiest place to find actual cinematic footage of two men kissing. It spliced quite nicely. ^^

It’s all just a show ... a live drama skit while I am on the dance floor ... lol... let the drama begin ... when God gets here ... you’ll be in a whole other arena and stage .... “ God can see through your acting 2.... “ now go get me Richard ...the one true King on Earth ... lol

No he never called Jim that in the show or any of the movies. It was in the novel Star Trek The Motion Picture. That was the only time it was ever used.

Me too... So addictive there should be some kind of warning ;-)

POWERFUL.

great vid ! and i love the brokeback mountain clip put in too ;)

Can't get this song or pairing out of my mind! :D

I like this video

I like the coloring, looks like the Star Trek + Nine Inch Nails = Closer video..

holy shit. this is a really good video!

what is that song? and who is it by? I like that video a lot by the way! I've only just recently been introduced to this series. I've always watched the next generation(excelent as well I might add.) But so far that is one of my favorite episodes! Well Done!

Wow!

Those are Brokeback Mountain clips at the end! Sorry... I've watched this video, like, a bajillion times and I've been trying to figure out where those clips were from. But now I've figured it out! (And i hope I'm not wrong, or else I'd look like an idiot...)

Only in the Roddenberry "The Motion Picture" novelisation.

@hopingtoflyaway Even Gene Roddenberry fully acknowledged that Kirk & Spock's bond was up to interpretation. The Vulcan term that Spock uses to describe it in the novelization of the first film could be interpreted as "brother by spirit" or "soulmate," depending on context. ((Behind the scenes, I'm sure Takei was laughing his ass off))

great vid

Stunning!

Awesome vid!! The kiss at the end was from the new star trek movie XD LOL

This video is totally awesome. O

it just gets hotter

Hey, nice work, can you do some Spock/McCoy vids for us PLEASE???????

I was looking for the Placebo remix of this song, but I also love ST TOS like nobody's business... guess I got both and a little more than I bargained for by clicking this video. OMG. All the LoLz

I apologize, I wasn't sure if you were a troll actually curious about why people slash them. Like I said, you don't have to agree with the pairing, and I won't try to change your opinion and no one's going to argue that McCoy isn't an important part of their lives, he definitely is. But I will argue that there is plenty of evidence for a Kirk/Spock relationship. Whether it was intentional/canon is irrelevant for fandom, it's there. - TBC

I don’t watch star treck ... so I don’t know why Spock would kill Kirk ... it has nothing to do with me..

's called.. damn, I keep hitting enter by accident..

the video is great!!! 5*

Youre of course entitled to your opinion, but you came to this video and commented so Im going to assume you want an answer. First of all, please dont use the adding romance belittles their relationship argument. Its used all the time to argue against slash pairings. How exactly is it belittling them? If their bond is strong, and Gene Roddenberry even said, The affection was sufficient for that then is it simply because theyre both men? Theyre too good of friends? - TBC

Does anyone no if Spock ever calls Jim T'hy'la in the show or movies and if so were can I find it? Good vid!

Is this the one that was mentioned in For the Love of Spock?

and spock is damn sexy.

Transcended anything romantic or sexual is another term often used to describe deep feelings between people of the same sex. So its a spiritual connection? But isnt the ideal romantic union also a spiritual union? Thats why people get married, right? - TBC

What episode is that where Spock hits Kirk 0.0 Loved the video!!

ooomg!!! ;____; very beautiful!! (

Requiem for Methsulah or something like that.

Give this 32k likes like the Tik Tok (Ke$ha) fanvid

I have never noticed before but at 3:00 Spock's insignia is on the wrong side. Hmm...odd

Using the word belittle, also suggests that if they were gay they would somehow be less than they are now. How would their relationship be diminished if it were romantic? Would their deep bond disappear if they were gay? Many people think being gay is all about the sex, which is very insulting to homosexuals in general. - TBC

I didn’t know I was in a play ..?? Lol... maybe ... I played u like a fiddle boy ....

2018

@hopingtoflyaway Opinion, yes. But not just mine. Check out the academic studies on fanfic history - Henry Jenkins, Camille Bacon-Smith, Joanna Russ, et. al. Slash is a bit more complex than "projection of sexual orientation." There is a lot of perverse "let's watch two pretty boys get it on" in the mix, but it's not the entire package by a longshot.

I don’t get it ..????

I am soooo much more Gorgeous!!!! Hehehege

Lovely, but the Kate Bush version of the song is much better (in my opinion) but lovely vid!

Spock and Kirk are gay ..??? I never knew that ..!!Huh..???! They look in love ... I guess..!

Lastly, you end with respecting something higher. What exactly is this higher something? God? Uber friendship? Please clarify and pay attention to the language you use when referring to homosexuality. You dont have to like Kirk/Spock, but the language youre using to argue against it is questionable. Its a very heteronormative point of view. (Holy crap, this turned into an essay. D:)
