I was seven traveling from Cologne, Germany to destination unknown. I had been kidnapped by my dad and on the run for a little over a year. Back then amber alerts and milk cartons with faces of missing children didnt exist. Tired from dragging my yellow suitcase across the platform of the train station, I stood frozen from exhaustion. My father was somewhere past the crowd as I disappeared quickly into the fury of people brushing past me. Losing my bearings, I started to panic. My father took 10 minutes, which felt like an eternity to find me, as I stood crying in hysterics. Sniffling through my tears I bravely blurted out, You left me standing, why did you do that?

It took eighteen years for me to be reunited with my mother. The consequences and impact of being abducted didnt take its toll until I was in my early twenties, which led to many years of heartache and darkness. Crawling out from underneath the broken pieces of my life, I slowly started to build a new beginning by examining my inner psyche when I discovered Buddhism, which took me from just surviving to thriving.


This is the Elmo Weber-Edited version. The original video was shot and directed by Alex Kuhns. This song is from Deanna Pino's 2008 release "You Left Me Standing."

  • Nice job, Deanna!

  • sounds & looks great!

  • Great Song and Video Chimegirl!

  • Much, much better video with the re-edit! Will be great for the cause of child abduction/search, and I'm assuming quite cathartic for you.  You are brave ... be proud.

  • Beautifully done! Great song!

  • This version's even better. Nice re-edit! Great song, D!

  • Really wonderful! Very moving. I love this song.

  • Beautiful

  • Love this stellar song and the montage of the video shifting with the train and the past represented in Black and White and Color representing the present.

    A definate five star rating

  • Very nice vocals. Pretty cool
