I Hope To Fly Again - an original song by Jon Weems

Original song and animation by Jon Weems. I'd love your comments! I put this animation together so I could have a video for one of my songs. It's one of those break-up songs. lol For lyrics and to learn more about me and how I write music with my disability, go to:

=======================================

"I Hope To Fly Again"

We flew so high together
And watched the world go on below
Floating 'round light as a feather
Then winds of change began to blow

And so you finally conceded
You didn't want me to feel bad
I just couldn't give you what you needed
But I gave you the best I had

Chorus

Some dreams come true in time
And some dreams fade away
But our love was so sublime
I hope to fly again someday

Our destiny seemed certain
To live as one, the perfect plan
But as time pulled away the curtain
You saw I was no magic man

And as I gaze upon our past
Reliving memories with a smile
I wish that somehow we could've made it last
Still I know it was all worthwhile

Chorus

Some dreams come true in time
And some dreams fade away
But our love was so sublime
I hope to fly again someday

Lord I just want to fly away

Just happened to run across your channel...the video icon was what drew me in. You are a wonderful songwriter and this song really resonates with some things in my life right now. Beautifully done! *****

Hey suuzzee5. Things can get tough in life sometimes. Just stay hopeful and you'll get through it all! I hope you're ok! Thanks for the compliment! :-)

oooooooooh how ur song just made the tears come.....such a sad song....and oh how dont we all just wish to fly again someday! i so enjoyed this video as much as i did the song!!!!!!!! just wow!!

[jgweems]

Thanks marcie99. So glad you like the song! I was in a sad mood when I wrote it, so it's good to know I got my feelings across. I hope it didn't make you too sad though! :-)

Cool video. Did you make it with flash? The song and everything fit nicely and made sense keep up the good work.

[jgweems]

Thanks Johnny. I actually used a program called 'Artoonix' along with Photoshop to make this video. What made it so hard is that I really can't draw. I just had an idea and took it 1 frame at a time.

I think the animation if fantastic--your patience helps me be a more patient person through my frustrations (and my friends tell me I've had more than my share in the last two years, so I really appreciate all this!).

[meyersonfire]

My most favorite song that you've written is "Just Around the Corner". Hope you plan to do a video on that one when you get a chance--it really keeps me going in my hard times. I love Heaven's Gift and my daughter's favorite is Spread the Love. Thanks for all of these, Jon.

[honeycooler]

sweet that there is an animation to this song!

Jon,I spotted this clip yesterday and loved both the song and the animation immediately. I introduced you, your Youtube videos and the Myspace page in a few German-language forums and recommended your songs to some radio people in this country and in Southern Africa. Let us hope they will like it as much as I do.

Good job on the animation! I know those can be really hard to make. Kudos! :)
