Ah, Peter, Janice Bud, you all know how much I love this song AND the video. Your creativity has long ago ceased to amaze me, or rather I'm used to being blown away by what you folks do. Janice, you are by far one of my all-time favorite vocal groups. Man... You three fit so well together, and make some of the best music. Your videos are getting so good. There is nothing on this one I'd want to change. It all works so well together with the music --just like you guys do.

Nice video! Still an excellent song.
I recall reading that - unlike our current view of cemeteries as dreary places - they basically existed as the first form of public parks. But this is more a early 19th century sort of thing - a bit later than this particular cemetery.
It's always sad to see something lost and abandoned - doubly so for memorial intended to keep memories of loved ones alive.

Team,
I remember this tune very well. One of the best Janice's vocals + harmonies. Very neat video., Powerful images and I love sepia. Sad and beautiful. You are getting good with video projects!
Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Janice, Bud & Peter,
I remember this song well. The video is beautiful and really drives home how comforting and lonely these places can be at the same time.
So well done…
Bob Bob, thanks for watching and the nice and supportive comments. J&B

Hi Janice & Bud,
The piano sound is perfect. Janice's voice still so sweet and captivating. It's a treat again. The video is superb. I appreciated.

I visited a cemetery in Charleston SC once, and when I read dates on the tombstones that were well before the US was officially a country, it made me palpably shudder. This song and video brought me right back to that trip. Great job as always. Janice has a way of finding the soul in a lyric.

I also remember this one from the spring. Really good song, and I thought the video came out extremely well. Great job for everyone involved, this is a project to be proud of. If you ever get out west, there's a neat old graveyard in Virginia City, not to far from Reno. I'm sure it's not as old as some of those in the east, but it is pretty large and has a lot of the old west settlers there. The town is a bit of a tourist trap, but it still has a lot of the old west in it, particularly on the weekends when it can still get a little wild. Thanks for the post! Thank you Brad! When we used to vacation in CO we visited a lot of old cemeteries that we discovered mountain biking. And I’m sure we missed many. And even though Eastern ones are typically earlier our sentiment is the same. J&B

I love the performance video! The brown/sepia filter works great.
I totally understand why you put this on Vimeo. The excellent sound quality of the mix is probably maintained a lot better than on YouTube?
Great vocals as usual by Janice, but the background vocals are particularly striking here. I fondly detected some Ladies of the Canyon - Joni Mitchell moments there :-).
Seamlessly followed by the set in of the solo by Peter.
Really good!
Rob We moved to Vimeo after YT monetized our videos. We do this for friends and family and they should not have to look at a gross ad to watch them. And you are right the audio and video quality is better. Thank you for mentioning the harmonies and Peter’s solo! It was a fun project other than nearly every scene we shot being windy. Glad you liked it! J&B

Hi Janice and Bud
Just back from a month in Poland visiting my wife's family. A lot of songs to catch up on, and what better place to start. I remember this one well, which I like very much. The sepia toned video is excellent. Janice is so good at lip syncing - not an easy thing to do!
We visited several cemeteries during our visit, by the way, a thing which most Poles do quite regularly (and I only do in Poland). While of course there are some abandoned graveyards there too, particularly in rural areas, most cemeteries are very well maintained. Families visiting graves typically clean them and place lots of flowers and candles. There's even a public holiday on All Souls Day when the majority of Poles visit the graves of their loved ones. Apparently if you are flying into the country on All Souls Eve, spread out below will be a sea of lights from the candlelit graves.
Kind regards,
Leon

Howdy!
Love the video. Already heard the song some time back. As I've mentioned to you (Janice & Bud), I've visited dozens and dozens of cemeteries all over the country in search of my family's history. Each has its own mystery and intrigue. The video so well captures that historical magic as it applies to the human soul.
What a great song and wonderful video. Janice sure can put her qualified vocal signature to just about any piece of music. Good job in all respects!
Reminds me of that old saying: It's not the dates on the stones that matters so much; it's what happened between the numbers.
Alan Yep it all comes down to that little dash between the dates. We are happy it worked for you and evoked memories. And thanks for the kind remarks. It means a lot! J&B

J&B,
That's a great song! What a common thing it is to see those places abandoned and forgotten! It's sad to think that most of us will become a footnote in history after a couple of generations.
Great video and performance! As always by you folks!
Thanks, Torrey Thank you Torrey. We all greatly appreciate your comments. J&B Love the tune, loved it when I first heard it, and the video only enhances it, for want of a more poetic word. Sincerest congratulations - beautifully done. Thanks. Glad you felt that the vid brought more to the audio. We always wonder if we have met that goal. J&B I remember visiting a cemetery 20 ... 25 years ago with my wife and inlaws. A lot of their relatives were buried there.
It was a big cemetery and the graves went back a long time, and it struck me ... all of these people went through what I'm going through. Joy, sorrow, fear, worry ... worry about death, the afterlife ... and ... they died. Just like I will.
In some way I suddenly felt reassured. Not alone. We're not the first to feel these things, and we won't be the last.
Somehow, it all turns out ok. At least that's the feeling I got. Thank you for sharing your feelings. We completely understand and have similar thoughts. J&B

Man, this is really sensational. Loved everything about it! I could have sworn I saw this video before? I am tripping? Maybe too much reading of Charles Dickens? The Ghost of Christmas Graveyard Video Future??  But, anyway, this is awesome!!

J & B : The breadth and depth of your talents never ceases to amaze me. Another outstanding video!
Hey, that I-phone Pro produces beautiful video. I take it the audio track is laid in post. What video editing program do you use if you don't mind my asking? Your camera man did a superb job!
