Neil Young ~ My Heart ~ UnReLeAsEd VeRsIoN. ~ Vincent van Gogh Morphing vIDeo ~Sleeps With Angels.

[11xzxzxz]

It's a great video (good song) even if it momentarily made me more depressed about Vince. Even if I might at first have wished for a different ending. Sure, Vince morphing into one of his paintings or a better world and something loved and appreciated was wishful thinking but I can see your point of his graphic morphing being more realistic and potent and doesn't let our eyes (or ayes) stray from staring at the unrelenting sorrow and magnificence of van Gogh and it's spell-binding.

[11xzxzxz]

And Jack I am not hinting for you to explain more. Videos and film are a different medium than paint (no joke). Also, your explanation to Ross was great and make me rethink your Van Gogh video and appreciate it and not get caught up in trying to change history.

[11xzxzxz]

Words imo would can lead us to understanding a photo. I guess I personally feel an artist should comment (but not give away art secrets). My photographer friend always explains a lot (even why the shot turned out good or bad) when he shows his pics online and I always try to get my own feel first but always look later for what he has written and what he writes is always cool and helpful in one way or another in interpretation or elucidation of his works.

[11xzxzxz]

The best works can have multiple interpretations and no one should be afraid of putting up a personal vision or expressing their own interpretation of their work. Just my feeling, as I know Diane Arbus felt it was not right to comment but imo she could have given her subjects a boost and a place to speak out and step out of the harsher lights of marginal deviants if she had explained the why of the photo and the setting and the people and even tender moments shared.

[BjavaBluesStop]

Nice work Jack!

[curiousgeorge555]

@BjavaBluesStop Thanks B.

[rockinroller7]

Jack,

As always, something to think about, even more deeply.

Thanks.

Ross

[kariwattsup]

It almost seems like I've heard this song in a musical based on trials of life love story. Wow.

[jmcgraw6]

This song is one of my favorites from this album, if not from Neil Young's entire repetoire. But, I am sorry to say I did not enjoy the slideshow at all, I am indifferent to visual downers, curious if anything. For me, this slideshow has deterred from the song.

[jmcgraw6]

@jmcgraw6 To add to my comment, and perhaps with asome positive zest, I do really enjoy the choice of Van Gogh for the production.

[123ThisIsMe]

Beautiful song.

I know that this sounds so average for a comment ...(?)

(Maybe the word 'Beautiful' has been worn out by too many people who use it without real thought ...?)

[jmcgraw6]

@123ThisIsMe Beautiful is powerful and eternal.

[meltdownman1]

Love this shit...may I ask what software you used to create the the slides on this..the morphing is gorgeous.

[hyperdiabolical]

My friend Circumpunk sent me this vid. It's great. Tried to upload this song myself from the album Sleeps With Angels. They blocked it of course. My channel is American music, blues, country,early rock and roll. I think your channel is great!

[curiousgeorge555]

@hyperdiabolical I'll check out your channel. Glad Circumpunk thought the vid' worth sending your way.

[Circumpunk]

Thanks for the Blue Period stuff. The song has been a fave since I bought the initial release back in the late 90's. Your channel is awesome as well.

[jorgebe87]

Beautiful video!

[sabhti]

FANTASTICO!!

[curiousgeorge555]

@sabhti Soy feliz que disfrutara de ello. Adoro sus vídeos como adoro Vincent.

[TheGuitarjerry1126]

Brilliant! Very interesting to see V. van Gogh's art used in this way, but, art is art. Loved the morphing and of course, Neil Youngs' music speaks for itself.

Excellent video! Special thanks to my darling Roses for sharing this video with me.

~Jerry

[rosesredvioletsblue]

Excellent video. I enjoy the art of Van Gogh....very interesting the manner in which you have used this art along with the music of Neil Young (such a great artist) ..and the music that my dear one loves so much - just as I do. 10* Beautiful!

I wll share this with my dear one and also add to my favorites. Thank you!! Roses

[TheGuitarjerry1126]

@rosesredvioletsblue Thank you,dear! smile.

[bluesound09]

Take good care of yourself. Life is more than the matter of good or bad..

[shoelover57]

Simply beautiful. Thank you,

[curiousgeorge555]

@shoelover57 You're welcome. Thank YOU.

[curiousgeorge555]

@88hanimart88 Hi Annie, I am a student of Van Gogh and his life. I would love to hear what you hae to say. So many theories about him, his illness and life. Have a great day!

[curiousgeorge555]

deep moving and beautiful

I know where you are coming from hanimart88

[curiousgeorge555]

I feel the same way hanimart.

[curiousgeorge555]

I will look into it for you. Maybe I'll put up a live version. Been busy and have not had much time to make vid's lately. Thanks 88hanimart88

[curiousgeorge555]

It's a pretty harsh video at certain times. But I had to get it out of my system. The song is very unique for Neil. He is so eclectic! Thanks 88hanimart88!

[honeylovecmw]

aww THANK YOU for posting this song, i thought it was lost to me on YouTube

[curiousgeorge555]

My pleasure.

[michaelthorner]

One of his underrated songs. More people need to know about it. Thanks for posting!

[curiousgeorge555]

You're welcome.

[Pan3405]

Neil Young sounds like Kermitt the frog!!

[curiousgeorge555]

@88hanimart88. The vid' came during a tough time. I often turn to Neil's music for consololation. Kinda hard for me to watch. Thanks for the

comment. ~cg

[louiseduvee]

Another great one, Jack! Makes this 1 Jan 2010 memorable

xL:D

[curiousgeorge555]

Hi Lou, pretty interesting way to remember the begining of a decade.

Maybe you can forget it than remember it when the time is right? Maybe what I wrote makes no sense. lol

[louiseduvee]

@curiousgeorge555 I am always remembering things I forgot... Thanks for this version of the song, I like it better than the published one? Anyway, you're memorable, my friend. I won't forget you.

L:D

[MicahBuzan]

beautifull in every way

[curiousgeorge555]

@MicahBuzan Thanks. Glad you got something worthwhile from it.

[curiousgeorge555]

Your quite welcome. ~cg

[williheckaslike]

This must be the third, or the fourth Neil Young song you have posted, Jack, that to me, are my favourite version's of that particular song ! Also a great video ~ Well done ~ Geoff

[curiousgeorge555]

Thanks Geoff. Nice to know you you enjoy the posts. I'll try and keep them coming. Time is tight these days for me. ~cg

[desperdux]

Simply ... Thank You ...

[curiousgeorge555]

A simple reply: You're very welcome. ~cg

[switchsearch]

at eternity's gate . . .. is very profound . . . . you see, Vincent's dream of an art colony had come crashing down . .. his ear cut, gaugan . . . gone for good . . . . he sits in his simple chair . . . with thoughts . . not so simple? have you seen paul gaugan's chair, Vincent had purchased for him? compare the two . . paul's the expensive one . . that's how Vincent operated . . . . Christ like . . . always giving it away .. . . . .

[curiousgeorge555]

So true switchsearch. I have even heard the argument that Van Gogh may have not been mentally ill or at most minimumly so. The thing that really put him over the edge was that he could not get the colony going and that profoundly effected him as he believed in it so strongly. And yes he was a kind soul who gave in a Christ like manner. ~cg

[obriennnnn]

what is the van gogh painting titled????

[curiousgeorge555]

At Eternity's Gate *or* On the Threshold of Eternity

[eamonreillydotcom]

Neil Young and Van Gogh. What a great combination of two great talents.

[accordionreid]

This is one of your best! Alas you have come back to the genius you always had. What a moving story! What a great tribute to Neil Young! The two best songs? hmmm... I still believe Change Your Mind and Trans Am are better! Thanks so much for this incredible Video!!

[curiousgeorge555]

Well accordionreid, I'm pleased I created something you enjoy. Interestingly enough my three fave' songs on the album are Change Your Mind ,Trans Am and Prime of Life.

You're quite welcome. It's good to see there are a number of people that understand the video and appreciate it. ~cg

[koliatima]

Very interesting. Moving.

Thanks cg!

Best to you. K.

[curiousgeorge555]

Merci and best to you too koliatima! ~cg

[curiousgeorge555]

thanks

[jmack3411]

Another excellent vid man!!!!! I think you do a very good job of catching the essence of what he is trying to say.....

[curiousgeorge555]

I do my best jmack3411. With the extra time I do have I enjoy trying my hand at this stuff. I mades this video for a specific person so It has a bent towards that. It's a compliment that some see some parallels to what Neil is trying to get across here. I believe many songs are written by Neil that capture a concept or feeling but you can't always pin it down. There are many interpretations to many of his songs. I just heard some things w/out trying to over analyze the them. Thanks man! ~cg

[williheckaslike]

Brilliant video, The bass drum in the song remind's me of a faltering heartbeat ! ~ Very nice to see your great work again, Jack ~ All the best ~ Geoff

[curiousgeorge555]

Very interesting observation on the bass drum! I can hear it now. Best to you Geoff! ~cg

[Powderfinger07]

Very moving...thanks for making cg

[curiousgeorge555]

My pleasure Powderfinger07. Well I guess it wasn't all pleasure but...

Oh well. ~cg

[didikh]

Thank you to share it, I think we bring what is it in our heart when we go.

I think it is why we have to love each other as much as we could, what our differences could be.

Thank you again

[curiousgeorge555]

I couldn't agree more. ~cg

[blue2blueinthenight]

...great again curious.. impeccable. A song full of emotion for sure.. Neil and you deliver once again.

....." My love, I will give

to you, it's true

Although I'm not sure

what love can do"

... love sometimes isn't enough.

look forward to your next one.. keep it up you have outstanding talent/gifting in your creations.

...Blue

[kantonaime]

Nothing to add !

Thank you very much, Curiousgeorge ! Your video is fab !

And thank you, Blue, for writing such a nice comment !

[curiousgeorge555]

Your welcome kantonaime. Thank you for thanking blue as well. ~cg

[curiousgeorge555]

I wish love was *always* enough but i am afraid you are right. So glad you gleaned something from the creation. As I always say without Neil's inspiration none of these vid's would be remotely possible (obviously).

Thanks for your very kind comments blue.

~cg

[reliablebow]

...i don't know what Love can do....

excellent Bro...touchstone

[curiousgeorge555]

Always high praise coming from one of my favorite singer/song writers. Thanks Bro! ~cg

[econoroller]

I shot myself in the head twice to this, but it was worth it!

Songs like this and "old man" make the tears well up....that's one thing about Neil's music...it's very real.

Loved the video as well...

Pain is also an emotion and cannot be ignored very easily :)

thanx for sharing this

[curiousgeorge555]

I hope you just grazed it!

Yes Neil's music is very "real" and that is one of the things I love about him.

Thanks for commenting and I am glad you got something out of it. ~cg

[econoroller]

Nah, I didn't really do it HA HA HA HA

This song made me think of "expecting to fly" from his Buffalo Springfield days....another emotional song.

Neil is amazing, man. Very special energy comes off that guy

He's a rare bird and we're lucky to have heard him sing :)

[curiousgeorge555]

Glad you're still around (; heheheheheh.

I'm fortunate enough to be seeing Neil this week end at the bridge show. He is a rare bird. Love his Buffalo Springfield days. "expecting to fly" is out of this world!

Take care man! Roll on! ~cg

[carrolly2k]

Very creative! Loved it!

[curiousgeorge555]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it carrolly2k ~cg

Your welcome Crowrocker71. Glad you got something out of it! ~cg

[GroovyGranny]

Absolutely beautifully done! I think all of us can relate to this song at one time or another in our lives. Thank you for sharing your vision. There is Hope and there is Love to help us through the toughest of moments. Jesus offers us that Love and that Hope! God bless.

[curiousgeorge555]

Thank you GroovyGranny for the thoughtful

comments! God bless you too! ~cg

[grummeper]

5 *****

[curiousgeorge555]

Thanks grummeper ! ~cg

[astrololee]

Hey cg555...love the visualisation of this beautiful tormented song...you have picked your subject matter very well with vincent and whilst veiwing your new vid..Don McLeans - Vincent song ran through my mind at the same time....

"and when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry night.

You took your life as lovers often do;

But I could have told you Vincent

this world was never meant for one

as beautiful as you"

Neil just might have made a difference to vincent!

[curiousgeorge555]

Yeah I love that Don Mclean song too!Thanks for the kind comments. ~cg

[spottedliver]

I think the mushrooms are kicking in!
