When October Goes

Beautiful video for a beautiful song.
Wish someone would do Sunrise by
Manilow, too.

I purchased the Paradise Cafe album in vinyl when it came out and have not played it in years. I try to remember to play this song in October. I have been listening to it the last few days and cannot get enough of it. Thank you Johnny Mercer and Barry Manilow for a beautiful work of art. Thank you saabatch87 for posting it.

My father died on October 8 of this year. Three days later Mom and I buried his earthly body on the 40th anniversary of the death of her father and my grandfather. I fell in love with this song many years ago, so much so that I sang it in a local variety show in Birmingham three years ago. After this October, however, I may never sing it again; the hurt's too deep right now.

Remember his spirit longs for you to sing it again...

Never realized how much this song I hold close, as it hits home. My Maryann will always be in my heart until we meet again. (11/3/06). This one's for you babe.

The great lyricist, Johnny Mercer wrote these words before his death, never having them put to music, until his widow asked Barry Manilow, if he could write the music to fit her husbands words....now you hear Johnny's words...to Barry's music. 10+ stars!

I first heard this on the radio on a October day in '84, upon returning to campus. I had been in 2 hospitals, having nearly died of a broken heart. Bittersweet memories indeed will always be a part of who I am.

Great job on the video ! The still photos allow for the song to breathe and create room for reflection. Thank you so much for the time you spent creating this work !
