Saying Goodbye

[Jevezy]

Nothing lasts forever, this is life. Disappointments, deception, grief and desertion. Expect it and you won't be surprised. Have faith and trust in no one but yourself, because sooner or later, people turn around and hurt you. I have no great expectations in anyone or life.

[mrmaynard017]

i wonder why im always left alone!!! they always leave me broken!!! i wonder why!!!!! maybe there's a note taped on my back!!! written!!! hurt me!!!!!!!!!

[Jaydoggie]

@mrmaynard017: Sadly, that seems to happen to all of us far too often. The important thing is to not look back with regret, but to look forward to new experiences and memories! They're there, just waiting for you!

[dhiji2005]

[801cburr]

I lost a son that I had to say goodbye too! I think about him everyday and one day I'll see him again!! Very pretty song!!

[jacksongarden]

Hi Jay,

Its Jackson from Boston. I have a request. How about pulling together a video of Susan Boyle doing her rendition from Las Miserables? One of the most inspirational, up lifting and joyous pieces I have seen. Certainly, you can do justice to it.

Best regards,

Jackson

[SAYZ]

Very Cool !!

I found the author on FLICKR !

[moschnitzler]

Instrumental-Version ?

[Rorschach209]

This is the most perfect and beautiful video to accompany, what I think, is the best recording of this lovely song.

[KWOO0314]

Jay..its woodiee....LOVE ANNE MURRAY my friend. WOW.....WOW.....WOW.

[jacksongarden]

Hi Jay,

Still come back to your videos. Still the best on Youtube. We spoke several months ago and just wanted you to know how great I think your work is.

Best,

Jackson

[Jaydoggie]

Jackson.... once more, you're gonna make me blush! I'm so glad that this means something to you. I wish I had more time to put together more videos. As you can imagine, they're pretty time-intensive. Thank you again for the kudos and encouragement. Big hug to ya, Jackson!

[54spiritedwill54]

this is one of my favorite Anne M songs and this video is wonderful

[Jaydoggie]

You can't help but love her voice... not another one like it anywhere. Thanks for the visit and comment!

[GalaxyFireworks]

This is amazingggg!!!! theres so much i can say about this-one word- brilliantly mystic and nostalgic,

[Jaydoggie]

Thanks for the kind words! You're gonna make me blush! ;P

[fathairyarab]

never get tired of listening 2 this. split with my girl again this time 4 good.

[Jaydoggie]

I wish I had a nickel for every time I've listened to this song... LOL! I never tire of it. Sorry to hear about your girl. As difficult as it may seem right now, you will get over her... eventually. Not without some pain, though. There's someone even better waiting for you. Trust me on that. Best wishes to you.

[iidontfitinnobox]

nice job on the video man righton ^5

[Jaydoggie]

Thanks for the comment and the rating!

[Jaydoggie]

Thanks to everyone who's taken the time to view, comment, or rate my work. Whether or not you agree with the direction I've taken the video, the words of the song are universal to all. At some point in every life we have to say a sad goodbye to someone. Whether it's for only a short time or forever, the pain is there. I created this video during a low point in my life when someone I loved deeply walked away. My pain has begun to heal. I hope that in time yours does, too. HUGS to all of you!

[EverWolf1]

Thank you and thank you Aldara, for never really saying goodbye. Some one so special came into my life I have often hurt, and regret, ask forgiveness from. I do love her deeply, wish always to be with her.

[metalhead666skater]

i had 2 say bye 2 all my family and friends back in south africa...

[fathairyarab]

just split from my girl.

[cjthemusicman]

Yes, someone is always saying goodbye.....

[Jaydoggie]

That is true. And that place in your heart seems to always remain empty. But if you leave room in your heart, someone always comes along to fill it with love again.

[cjthemusicman]

.....well said, my friend.

Superb vid, to a superb song! Thank you for this.

[jacksongarden]

Thank you J. I have always turned to this song whenever times get tough. I just discovered youtube so I was happy to find it listed. I listened to a few and then discovered yours. As I recently ended a 26yr relationship with my partner how fitting your video was for me. I have always been touched by the song but when I saw your video with the two men; well, lets just say, I had a good healthy cry. Thank you again for your beautiful,sensitive video rendition of a wonderful song. A class act.

[Jaydoggie]

I appreciate your comment so very much. The pain of losing someone you loved seems insurmountable at times. I think we've all experienced that at one time. Each day brings healing, though. I've learned that.

[spaceball34]

So beautiful. Made me look back on all those I had to say goodbye to over the years.

[Jaydoggie]

Thank you. If only there were fewer goodbyes.

[poetrymaster]

wonderful, love this song even though it makes me cry, thank

[Jaydoggie]

Tears? Well, that makes you human. Thanks for stopping by.

[moosette2008]

I said good-bye to someone I loved over 40 years ago.Still to this day they are the only one I truly loved.Thank you so much for this lovely video and the memories it brought back.

[Jaydoggie]

I'm so sorry for the loss of the one you loved. It's something how the heart never forgets, isn't it? I think it's because we made room in our hearts for that special someone to live, and it's empty. It always will be. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I hope the memories were all happy ones.

[fathairyarab]

this has got 2 b 1 of the best songs ive ever herd

[Jaydoggie]

Isn't Anne Murray incredible? There is so much warmth and emotion in her voice. And this song....well, what can I say? Listening to it always leaves me with a lump in my throat. Thanks for stopping by.

[klytning]

beautifully chosen imagery...

perfect transitions...

and hits toodam close to home...

gave me goosebumps AND made me cry, J

::sigh::

the story of my life

[Jaydoggie]

Ahhh...you found me! Thanks for the kind words, sweetie. Yes, we've all been to this well of tears many times...too many times, in fact.

[tanner78810]

you talk about saying godd-bye to someone. it was one of the hardest thing for me to do . people like anne or even lionel singing touching songs warms a heart to no end.

[Jaydoggie]

Thanks for the visit and the comment, Tanner. Sadly, it never gets easier to say goodbye, does it?

[burntraisin]

"we could have made it , we just quit too soon oh the two of us, we could have had it all if we'd only tried but that's the way love is, it seems just when you've got a real good thing somebody's always sayin goodbye.." I wish I'd die everytime someone says goodbye.. We loved each other but the world wants none of us. So though what we have is the real thing... We are saying goodbye. Maybe, I might as well die... Thank you Anne for singing my eulogy.

[sdt75061]

Haunting images paired with one of Ms. Murray's most moving songs. Perfect art.

[Jaydoggie]

Thanks for your kind comment. There's definitely something about her voice. I can close my eyes to this song, and so many images flood my mind. With this video, I tried to share that experience. Thanks again!

[eternalXdamnation]

thankz i just learned that my friend took his life, and i needed a song to say goodbye

[Jaydoggie]

I'm so terribly sorry eternalX. My heart goes out to your friend's family and to YOU. The words to this song do seem appropriate, don't they? Here's a **hug** for you. May you find comfort and peace in the days ahead.

[eternalXdamnation]

thank you so much

[Jaydoggie]

You're welcome, my friend.

[eternalXdamnation]

:D thnkx again

[lowbridgehit]

so sorry for your loss. God be with u

[ZiggyZiggyZoo3]

this is one of my favorite Anne M songs and this video is wonderful--- thanks

[Jaydoggie]

Thank you, Ziggy. I don't think there's a person alive that this song doesn't apply to. We've all been there, and will be again.

[rje53]

Jaydoggie... my goodness, your "video" was incredible. It's actually much better than the video that was originally done for Anne. There is so much feeling conveyed here. And thank you for gently showing the world that sometimes 2 lovers saying good-bye are not always heterosexuals. Again, a beautiful job.

[Jaydoggie]

rje: Thanks for expressing your feelings about this. I agree with everything you've said, particularly the last part. That's exactly what I was going through when I decided to put this together. Doing this was very therapeutic. No one's cried more tears than I have over this video. Thanks, again for taking the time to comment.

[Jaydoggie]

Bizzy: Thanks so much for your kind words. I don't do these slideshow videos too often. Once in awhile, however, a song like this crosses my path. Then the images begin to attach themselves to the words. This is the result. Thanks for the visit!

[Jaydoggie]

My apologies for not keeping up with comments. Life, you know.

"Guy": It seems everything has a shelf life. That includes friendships as well as love. That's been my experience, at least. Even accepting that fact does not make the parting any easier. It still tears at the heart each time we go through it. In the end, however, it makes us stronger. I'm glad my simple little video touched you. Thanks for taking the time to comment. /HUG to you.

[BizzyLizzy409]

Wow.... I make these slideshows all the time and by the time I actually sit and watch them completely, there are no suprises...Thanks for this slideshow...it is beautiful...You are really gifted at heart....

[aguyisaguy]

I was crying when I watched this video. I especially liked the image of the two guys, one sitting on the floor with his face buried in his arm, and the other crouching beside him. I know that one day my best friend and I will have to go on with our own lives, going our separate ways, but it will be so hard for me. I love him so much. I have told him in the past that I wish our relationship could be more, but it seems he doesn't want that. I guess it is just not meant to be....

[Jaydoggie]

Thanks for the kudos, Henry. If the vid had that effect on you, that means you got it. Good!

[HenryBoot]

The photographs are as wonderful as this amazing Anne Murray song. Thank you, Jaydoggie. You've brought tears to my eyes. Outstanding!

[Jaydoggie]

Thanks for the comment. The song, the images and the emotion created by combining the two all hold a lot of meaning for me. Thanks, again - Jaydoggie

[expensivekitten]

i love this song!!!! thank you for posting it!!!
