So Long Brother

[chriscarlonemusic]

this one hits home for me.

the emotion is captured perfectly through the images, the darkness, your eyes, the light and the song.

I miss my brother too.

Thanks for making this.

Thanks for making me remember my brother today.

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

Chris...

I'm glad you related to this.

sigh...

♥♥♥

i still miss him. where ever he is...

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

I miss my brother ♥

[PRINCIPALBROKER]

Excellent version.

[NewWarriorMan]

You are a true artiste.

[NewWarriorMan]

Your face is hypnotic.

[ParisianHermit]

this is such a beautiful song, "we are not two we are one" says it all.

[cydullah]

like the dark mood of the clip. the music makes it tense. and the void! does it also work without the music? wonder, if some scratchy far distant everyday sound would do...

great! ( wished we found the black heart of yours, we are on mac, so no chance).

[snaggletoofskitty]

lOve to you. beautiful, as are you.

[sonpophits]

Had to listen again.

[slippereal]

sad bebe hope you are happy today love xoxoxo

[ournationalspace]

a sweet translation into video - sometimes indirect communication is more precise than fumbling for words - the title and music set a tone that you really developed - what can i say, a sad and charming video 5 stars :-)

[danbergam]

Always artistic, always impressive... always expressive!

Keep up the magic, lady!

5*

[popsuckits]

What a strange world we live in. With out dark, light would have no meaning.

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

E, yes. Strange, and beautiful. I miss seeing your shiny face around. Maybe your light bulbs burned out? Like living, recording is also hard to do in darkness. Thank you for coming by ♥

[nezoone]

i concur.

beautifully said.

[citizenstand]

i like this band now.

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

yeah this is jeff tweety's (of wilco) band called golden smog doing a kinks cover. GSmog is definitely worth checking out. blew my mind the first time i heard the album 'another fine day'. send me your email address and i'll send it to you in a zip file if you're interested. perhaps you can turn me on to some of that funky stuff you listen to? sharing music is like sharing an experience. i like sharing. i like stuff. roger dodger. over and out.

[Illuminatta]

This is an old song, I think. I'll have to investigate. I know I've heard it before, and it brought strong memories from long ago. I hope it's just so long, and not goodbye. :)

[Illuminatta]

Aha! written by Dave Davies! It was recorded by the Kinks!

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

ah you are sharp! yes indeed, it was originally a Kinks song. so many of their songs are covered by other artists i.e. waterloo sunset by elliott smith is another fav cover of theirs.

thank you for looking and listening. i feel like giving a lot of love today... so love to you sweet illuminated one. one of my first subscribers you are. and you're still here. i love feeling being part of this big and strange yet intangible family. love. love. love. love.love.

[Illuminatta]

I'm so sorry you are estranged...I was with my brother for a good 20 years. We are finding our way back to each other over the last year or so. And I know what you mean...I love being a part of this "family." It's frustrating that people in "real life" just don't get it. HUGE, warm bear hugs to you! :)

[DardisMusic]

I have 4 sisters and 2 brothers - sometimes I am happy to escape from them.

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

wow, what a wonderfully large family you have Kevin! i have one older brother and one younger brother (seen here) and no sisters. i have been separated from my brothers most of my life and yet we are amazingly close. sometimes though, we must go our separate ways. its easier to hurt the ones you're closest to it seems. injuries run deeper and solutions more complicated to find. this is my situation now. a video can never do justice to the emotion.

be well blue you ♥

[yaffle]

I am a brother, it puts all those silly little arguments into perspective.

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

if you were my brother, i would never argue with you ♥ I'd just ask you to play Barbies with me, and you would happily oblige :-)

[zebidee55]

I rang my sister straight after watching this.

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

that makes me happy to know. love her well, love her hard ♥

[snailhands]

you're real beautiful. goodbyes are always the hardest :(

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

hello sweet boy. so very true...

[eaglecrowowl]

I played it twice in a row. Strong song.

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

i'm glad the emotions came across. thank you, thank you.

[Mikey34549]

darkness

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

grief.

[myblueart]

I keep playing this tonight.

Each time, I keep getting this feeling like I need to cry but I'm not sure why...yet the feeling persists...

its not a terrible feeling,

just there...

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

not that i like making people sad, but i'm glad this makes you feel... something. simple as the video is, all i wanted was to make someone feel what i am feeling. thank you. love to you ♥

[PuppyZwolle]

Your blackest yet. But beautiful.

XOXOX

i don't know what this means for you...but losing my brother was the most devistating thing for me. then, when i was 18, i found out i had another brother that my mom had put up for adoption and kept secret. he filled half the hole that bryan left behind.

this gave me a barrel of tears and a knot in my throat, but also made bryan's face pop into my head, and that was wonderful;-)

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

thank you for feeling this with me callie. im sorry for your pain. i can imagine its depth. the reasons for this video are really trivial by comparison, its only feelings that i have that i have lost my brother. he isnt dead but sometimes i think he is killing himself

at least for now I am comfortable with my own sadness. making this video was all i could do when there is nothing else i can do. im sure you understand this

warm hugs and all the words that dont have to be said between us ♥

[cheekychen]

i just realised how the language has formed in a sense of film making between yourself and other friends on here. To me it is a celebration of making films whilst exploring new ways of interacting and communicating.

And a p.s.. I loved the choice of music. again :)

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

so true paul. fragment sentences and images sometimes say so much more than my mouth can muster.

you have a gift of gab, AND visual expression. oh to be so lucky!

[JustA11en]

Beautiful video, by a beautiful person.

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

you Allen. you.

[myblueart]

this is a song I'll enjoy hearing over again in my mind, thanks!

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

thank you sweet sweet girl ♥

[myblueart]

always beautiful...

[lifeinacndyswrl]

I like this song. nice video.

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

thank you. i like you. nice comment.
