I Hope To Fly Again - an original song by Jon Weems

[meyersonfire]

I think the animation if fantastic--your patience helps me be a more patient person through my frustrations (and my friends tell me I've had more than my share in the last two years, so I really appreciate all this!).

[meyersonfire]

My most favorite song that you've written is "Just Around the Corner". Hope you plan to do a video on that one when you get a chance--it really keeps me going in my hard times. I love Heaven's Gift and my daughter's favorite is Spread the Love. Thanks for all of these, Jon.

[suuzzee5]

Just happened to run across your channel...the video icon was what drew me in. You are a wonderful songwriter and this song really resonates with some things in my life right now. Beautifully done! *****

[jgweems]

Hey suuzzee5. Things can get tough in life sometimes. Just stay hopeful and you'll get through it all! I hope you're ok! Thanks for the compliment! :-)

[jgweems]

Thanks marcie99. So glad you like the song! I was in a sad mood when I wrote it, so it's good to know I got my feelings across. I hope it didn't make you too sad though! :-)

sweet that there is an animation to this song!

Jon,I spotted this clip yesterday and loved both the song and the animation immediately. I introduced you, your Youtube videos and the Myspace page in a few German-language forums and recommended your songs to some radio people in this country and in Southern Africa. Let us hope they will like it as much as I do.

Good job on the animation! I know those can be really hard to make. Kudos! :)

[bithead]

Jon, great job! I am still waiting for some nice 80's style glam songs from you. I still remember you drivin Pugh and I around listening to Kansas!

[Johnny2tone]

Cool video. Did you make it with flash? The song and everything fit nicely and made sense keep up the good work.

[jgweems]

Thanks Johnny. I actually used a program called 'Artoonix' along with Photoshop to make this video. What made it so hard is that I really can't draw. I just had an idea and took it 1 frame at a time.

A sad but really nice song. I write songs too =) well... I jut have 2 so far hahaha I wrote only classical pieces, but I like it a lot. The lyrics are nice and I'm a little picky about that myself hehe. The animation is cool too. Keep it up =)

[jgweems]

[jgweems]

Thanks Mark. I appreciate the comment. I'm thinking of maybe trying a slide show for another of my songs. Animation is just not my thing. :-)

[ksine]

Hey Weems, Rosie here! I already loved the song and think this animation is perfect for it! You are so talented. I really enjoyed this and am waiting for the next one!

[jgweems]

Hey Rosie....Thanks! I'm glad y'all both like it. I might do a slide show for another song or figure out how to more easily creat animations. I'll figure out something. Thanks again.

[ksine]

[jgweems]

Thanks Jeremy. I kept this song kind of simple compared to my other stuff. I thought it conveyed more emotion that way, or something like that. Lol

[Sueh1947]
