Description:

Things I did : - I walk to the beat in the beginning, the moment my foot hits the stairs the music really starts. - With the introduction of the instruments I introduce the problem of tossing and turning. - That picture in the frame when I pour the wine is a picture that kills me, it was my favorite picture of Von and I. - We really did sleep in that room together. - I really have woke up and looked at the body pillow like that, some dreams feel more real than others. - Although in some shots you see another camera it was just on the endtable, I only used one as the other sucks. - Blades of grass are in a shot but they are to show that lif egoes on around her even though she feels dead inside. - I fall down the stairs,(k not litterally) I don't just walk, I fall fast. - Introduced to extreme dark with "There" "I dreamnt last night and you were there" - This one is obvious "You kissed my face" my hand goes to my face, obviously remembering kisses that are now replaced with teardrops. - Introduce tossing and turning, it is plenty because it is the main issue, walking is not an issue it is a temporary fix to sleepless nights. Tossing and turning is suffering and this song is about suffering. - "dream of you" causes me to throw myself over not just roll over, it's frusterating when all you can do is think of a person who doesn't love you. - "Pillow where I weep" - obvious - "in the darkness" dragging my hands down my face and closing my eyes. - Decides on suicide vs reality and dreamland to the beat of the music I arise. - There is a flash between getting the paper and writing the letter, this is not an accident this is unpurpose, it is to mean a few things. The moment her spirit dies, and the speed at which she makes this decision. - The clip of looking back is my favorite clip but a hidden story behind it is the fact that I am actually looking in the direction that Von and I used to live. - I like to close all my poems, etc with the scene I opened so we return to where I once climbed the stairs and this time I tumble to the bottom. Symbolism is in the fact that at one point I had climbed to the top and now I willingly tumble down to rock bottom. - I appologize to advil, they do not promote suicide. - Flashing point with the wine is also not an accident, dido's song goes very fast from music to no music and I wanted to grab that with the video. - Ends on "sleep" with a still frame of her dead. shoots to suicide note and that is pretty much the end. Obviously I bolded "Please understand, I'm sorry, It just hurts, I'm afraid to sleep and I'll always love you. But if you care to read the whole note and don't wish to pause it is like this: Please understand, I just can't do it anymore. I'm sorry every morning hurts more than the last. It just hurts so much. Please forgive me. I keep dreaming of you so much that I can't handle it. I'm afraid to sleep. I'll alwaywas love you. And if you are wondering yes these lines were used by me before. that is all, please comment.

Live moves on - each day is a surprise - you never know just what you will get. In the words of KT Tunstall - Hold on to what you've been given lately, because the world is turning, if you're ready or NOT! :)

It feels amazing. I am still making videos although some aren't as significant to my life anymore. Some are video challenges from subscribers. I am with the love of my life David seen in many videos now and couldn't be happier. A LONG way from where I was a year ago. How are you doing since your divorce?

Well well, a year and a day since you posted this video. How does it feel? A lot has happened since then I bet, but the video is as poignant as ever. Where are you now, and looking back, how far have you come? My divorce happened not so long ago. I also put all my thoughts into an online video called Extreme Divorce. May peace be with us.

good question it's actually not in one of her cd's to the best of my knowledge it is only a single. I can certainly send it your way.

Well the one that "inspired" this song and I no longer talk. We were together since childhood and now we have parted ways. I am with a good friend of mine that incidently myself and the "inspiration" had grown up with. So far life is great... better even since I got rid of that other guy :D
