I'm going to take the video off of the site after next Monday (08-15-11) but you are welcome to see it until then. I don't want to be sued by the distributer of the music! We only had permission to use the music for the contest. Alex Band, BTW, is an amazing musician who I only found out about this spring, right before Teddy died. The music sort of helped me through it all. Especially the song, "Wherever You Will Go," which makes me think about loved ones who have passed still being with us after they're gone.

And, yes, that's a photo of me. Annie Gray is my pen name. I started that silly "Way Too Retro Productions" after my Dad died in 1996 and I put together older music that he liked for his memorial. There's a lot of metaphor in the video, along with the "infinity" symbol. I've always wondered how many people we "pass" along the way who could've been in our lives if we'd taken the right path.
Now, be nice everyone.

Annie,
It took me time, because I wrote and crossed out what I wrote many times.
your video and this entire thread touched something very deep that I can't describe in words.
It reminded me of a good friend of mine, who showed me one of his pictures many years ago. I felt very strongly about it, but couldn't understand why. I asked him to explain to me what he was trying to express. His answer was that a true art work does not need an explanation, and can't have one. I may not feel what he meant to convey, because I am a different person. But, I should feel very strongly about it, because somehow the emotions and thoughts that he invested in this picture should reach me.
He was not interested in knowing how it affected me, he was just interested in knowing that looking at his picture added something to my life that wasn't there before.
