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. Thank you Marty and especially for the video comments. Your support of our video journey is greatly appreciated. J&B 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. Our area has literally hundreds of old family cemeteries that have been long abandoned over the generations as the land exchanged hands many times. But we also have many older well kept public cemeteries. So we see both sides. Thanks for watching! J&B

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. Thanks Misha ... Janice much appreciates your vocal comments and thanks for the kind words about the video. 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.
Kindly regard
Derochette
alias JaniJackFlash We all appreciate your support! J&B 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. Thank you very much! Yes those dates cause us to reflect every time. We were recently looking at one where the person was born in 1728. And, yes, it is ALL about soul for us irrespective of genre. J&B Hello all
Impressive video
Gives the song even more depth and power
Perfect
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Thank you Andi! 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 Thanks Leon. Learning lip syncing video creation has been an interesting journey. Glad you liked it. We have hundreds of small old family cemeteries in our area many of which are abandoned and forgotten. But we also have old city and church cemeteries that are well kept. Many of the abandoned family cemeteries are found in deep forests after generations have past. Glad you liked it and thanks for the interesting info re your trip. J&B

Your video brings to life the imagery in the lyrics. I loved hearing this again, especially the beautiful harmony. Thank you! 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!! Thanks David! J&B 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! Thanks Ed. Janice lip syncs to the song being played by a hidden Bluetooth speaker. We then line that audio up with the same audio track section in our editor which is Filmora. Glad you like it! J&B
