Clearly a man of exquisite taste. TW's masterful 'Take it With Me' is a song that, when push comes to shove, I'll be pencilling in for my funeral. (Note the clip from the excellent Poliakoff film, 'Close My Eyes'.)
This is so beautiful, and I read too that this was his personal favorite♥ Thanks so much for posting this, gorgeous song and an incredibly talented and inspiring actor. Love you Alan :]
That a good video you've made, I think Rickman is the perfect person to have used. I adore this song and am learning the piano just so I can sing it to my wife properly, the last time I sung it to her she was my girlfriend and I was in a hospital bed with very little hope of recovery. I did recover, thank fully, now we are married and have a very small brown-eyed daughter who I also intend to sing this to one day....
This will always be the one that'll take me back to when we were reckless and young... too petrified to truly let the other in, and too longing to let go...
Wow. Anybody can take a song and put some images or video to it, but rarely is the result as powerful and mesmerizing as it is here. You've managed to synthesize two separate evolutions of sentiment, into one transcendant experience.
Beautifully done - I wish there was a way to get this to him, as a tribute to him, since he loves the song (I didn't know that) What a lovely job you've done, really. He's so fine! And Tom Waits sounds amazing, it's true. Thank you so much.
Oh . . my . . . G-- For weeks I have been listening to the version of this magical song by the vocal group MOSS, amazing in its way. Seeing and hearing this is a revelation. I would love to know more about the song. Heartbreakingly simple melody, deep lyric. Thanks so much for posting.
This is soooooo beautiful! The amazing Alan Rickman and his "favourite romantic song". He's actually introduced me to Tom Waits through the "Love Actually" questionnaire :-). I wonder whether he knows how much influence he has on his fans.
I have known for a long time that this is Alan's favorite romantic song. To see it put to a video is absolutely breathtaking. PMG, this is simply beautiful. Tnank you for such a wonderful post.
Thank you Liz!! Mr. Rickman's favorite song deserved to be made into a vid, and you are the genius to do it. Lovely story line, beautiful editing. Tom Waits never sounded better. ((Hugs)) for considering my request and then working so hard to make it happen.
this is my favorite song.
