Special Valentine Thanks to Chris Erb for helping me out with the cinematography and a big shout out to Bruce Tenenbaum, Jimmy Guidish, Cameron Fife, Tommy O' Rourke, Rick Kent, and Chris Erb for getting a heart on. Also, Georgia Durante of the Enchanted Manor where much of the video was filmed.
My only hope is that after watching this touching Valentine video, you have a heart on.
I do.
Happy Valentine's Day!
What is it about Valentine's Day that gets everyone so on edge? I feel like some of it has to do with shopping for a gift for your valentine. In elementary school, all you really needed to do to impress someone was to ask them to be yours. Valentine, that is. Be their valentine. Maybe a cute small card with a bee. Saying "Bee Mine" Something schmaltzy. Something adorable in the eyes of an eight year old. By the time you were going through puberty in middle school, the stakes had been raised. "Bee Mine" cards were too lame and, besides, you were trying to date. High school was gift city, through and through. Chocolates, candy, flowers, jewelry...all the iconic joke gifts that stay with you for the rest of your life...those were all from high school. And did anyone ever really fall in love with someone because they got them a stuffed animal with some flowers? Besides me, I mean.
Actually, one of my favorite stories from my college days played heavily around Valentine's Day. I had just gone on a date with this cute sorority girl a few days earlier and had a hell of a time; we had stayed up all morning on the beach watching the sun rise. I know, I know, so romantic. So when Valentine's Day rolled around, and I was deciding who would be my Valentine, I quickly decided that my heart belonged to nobody else and that I would share this wonderful Hallmark holiday with her. I went to the local florist, almost out of every flower imaginable at this point, and asked for a dozen red roses. I figured why not, right? Might as well splurge. I placed the flowers on her doorstep with a note to call me and make plans.
Hours passed and I still had not heard from her, so I naturally began to worry. Incessantly. A homeless man had walked by and picked up the flowers. He had stopped to smell the roses, because he had never done so when he was making it big on Wall Street, and, in the process, had stolen my Valentine's Day offering. Or maybe it was the notorious Miami wind. The wind, from some hurricane that had not yet even formed, had become so strong that afternoon, that it lifted the flowers, or perhaps just even the note, carrying away with it her one chance to know about my Valentine's Day gift. Or maybe her power was out. Maybe her and her friends had not paid the phone bill, and she was frantically trying to find a way to get in touch with me. This was before cell phones had become so accessible.
I never heard from her. Waited around all night and heard not one ring of the phone, not one knock on my door.
The following day, my mutual friend laid her hand on my shoulder and told me it just wasn't going to work out. I inquired as to why. Why would this amazing first date not turn into at least a second date. Was Valentine's Day just not the right time. Fine. I'd be down to see her on a normal night. But, alas, she had received the flowers. No homeless man had stolen them. No wind had whisked them away. And she knew they were from me. And she thought that it was too much, too soon. On Valentine's Day. It was Valentine's Day. When flowers are marked up because EVERYONE is buying them for other people. I would have never done it otherwise.
She's married now.
This song is for her and all of the other people out there that don't want to spend a lot of money to show someone you love them, but still want to get your message across.
