accept leaving when leaving s come
Now my bags are packed and my sails are tacked, strong yet open-hearted, seeds and dreams we planted
Looking backwards to move on, soon be moving on my way Moving, walking down this road
Never said i love you, when this cycle ends
Please don t get me started, leave a little light on
Didn t prove, leave a little light on
leave a light on
Leave a little light on, leave a little light on
Leave a little light on, leave a little light on
Leave a little light on, when my pulse beats slow
God didn t see it coming, leave a little light on
Took for granted, hope you knew
time always unwinding
Didn t prove, i m on my way
leave a little light on
God didn t see it coming, when this cycle ends, leave a little light on
Leave a light on, leave a little light on
Leave a little light on, leave a light on On, i m on my way
Leave a light on, leave a little light on
Leave a light on, i m on my way
leave a little light on
Soon be moving on my way, leave a light on, leave a little light on
And my course is marked by stars, i m on my way Moving, leave a little light on
Will we recognize old friends, leave a little light on
Will we recognize old friends, never said i love you, i m on my way
when my pulse beats slow
I m on my way, leave a little light on, soon be moving on my way
leave a little light on
looking backwards to move on
leave a little light on
Leave a little light on, leave a light on
now my bags are packed and my sails are tacked
I m on my way, when this cycle ends
Soon be moving on my way, never said i love you
i m on my way
Leave a little light on, will we recognize old friends
Leave a little light on, never said i love you On, leave a little light on
I m on my way, leave a little light on, leave a little light on
i m on my way
I m on my way, will it start again, now my bags are packed and my sails are tacked
Music videos is really a dying art nowadays... So often we see videos that rely on big budgets and sex appeal to draw in its viewers, but it's when the visuals and music work together to create a compelling story that you get something truly special. We need more music videos that are as thoughtful as this. Ainslie Henderson is one of my favorite filmmakers, and this is why.
I was literally just crying over my Daddy passing last year.. October 2013... And was listening to one of our favorite songs.. Finger Eleven's One Thing... And this video popped up... My Daddy's name was James...
My wife lost a child before having the ones we have now, and this video also makes me cry and remember that event. Also, helps me to going through and accept the fact. Ecellent animation and a not so bad song.
My daughter loves it, but never understands why daddy cry a little
And this's exactly what happened with us. My little sister dies after 5 years of fighting cancer, the same week that my other sister gave birth. Sobhan Allah. God is merciful.
This song still tears me up no matter how much time has passed; my mother died of small cell carcinoma. Watching the person you love more than anything else in the world, die, is probably the most heart wrenching thing you can ever go through. The video epitomises everything perfectly, the anger, denial, not wanting to let go and then finally accepting it, not because you want to but because you must.
Thank you, James, for helping me get through it.
"Moving On"
Please don't get me started
Looking backwards to move on.
Strong yet open-hearted,
Accept leaving when leaving's come.
God didn't see it coming,
Never said I love you, hope you knew.
Now my bags are packed and my sails are tacked
And my course is marked by stars,
[2x]
I'm on my way,
Soon be moving on my way,
Leave a little light on,
Leave a little light on,
Time always unwinding,
All these dead lines in my mind.
Seeds and dreams we planted
Took for granted, didn't prove.
Walking down this road
When my pulse beats slow,
Hope to have you close at hand.
When this cycle ends,
Will it start again?
Will we recognize old friends?
I'm on my way,
Soon be moving on my way,
Leave a little light on,
Leave a little light on.
I'm on my way,
On my way, on my way, on my way,
Leave a light on,
Leave a little light on.
I'm on my way,
Soon be moving on my way,
Leave a little light on,
Leave a little light on.
I'm on my way,
On my way, on my way, on my way.
Leave a light on,
Leave a little light on,
Leave a little light on.
My teacher showed this in class as inspiration, when it ended she just kept talking about our art project like nothing happened, and all the students just sat there gaping like we had just timetravelled to sob land.
I cry every time I watch this beautiful video, it reminds me of my mom's beautiful mind slowly unraveling over the last 8 years, there's almost nothing left but her warm smile and a glimmer of her old self in her beautiful blue eyes... I miss you mom!
