My wife and I slow danced to it for our first dance. Kind of an odd choice maybe, but it had meaning to us. I sing it to my son when I am rocking him to sleep now...
Raymond, I don't know if you read your comments. I haven't seen Juno, but I do read descriptions. I want to thank you for uploading this song and your beautiful photographs. This song isn't a sad one for me, but a celebration. I'm 50 years old and have never married nor had children. I've rarely dated because I don't like to use people, I'm picky, and it's harder to meet people the older you get. When I love, I love with my whole self and it takes a long time for me to recover. I'd pretty much resigned myself to a life without love. But I have found him now, and we love each other. A few minutes ago I had described my love for him as an ocean, etc., and looked for this song as sung by a woman to share with him, and he loved it as well. I'm so happy. And I'm so blessed that you shared this. Thank you.
i have struggled with depression for all of my life when ever i listen to this song i always cry. not because i'm sad but because it makes me feel happy to know that people love me for me and that i am what god wanted me to be. for anyone who feels that they shouldnt live anymore, know this. ive experienced your pain. people laugh at you for being different. you should laugh at them for all being the same.
Even in 2020 I understand how you felt, this song was also an anthem for me during a terrible breakup a couple years ago that changed my life. Now remembering this song it doesn’t make me sad anymore, thanks for reminding me that people can grow✨
I basically listen to this song every night wondering if I might ever have the courage and tell the one I love how I feel and this song describes exactly how I feel. I like when the music does the talking. This song brings me to my happy place. And I haven't been there in a looooong time. Thanks Raymomd.
I came here because I really love cat power, but I'd like to let you know Raymond that I think your photographs are really beautiful and touching. I hope your heart is beginning to heal and that you are still embracing your passion as I think you are very talented x
I read the description. I imagine that you wrote it 8 years ago from now. So, 8 years after, it's me. Reading this and feeling so identify with your emotions. Exactly the same. You'd be astonished of how your story is the same as mine. Thanks for sharing. This is one of my favorite songs ever.
You are not ok Raymond because many people, like me, read the description of the videos so then... your confession trascend through us at the perfect time and in the right way. You're right thinking about we are here for Cat Power and one of the saddest song in the world but now, I'll be back here for your pictures and for one of the saddest song that exist. Thanks for share your passion with us and for your words... I really like that picture with the old man sitting on a chair. Greetings from far far away...
My dog was put down about two years ago and I still miss her everyday. People who have never lost a pet never really understand. Sorry for your loss, RIP x
Was introduced to Robert Plant's version by a beautiful flower and saw the song shape itself into our early honeymoon anthem, then everything fractured and as I fell from love's grace, Cat Power's version caught me and soothed my wounded heart. She gave these lyrics purpose again for me - I remember when we first met, just wish the flower would too. It's beautiful, the ups and downs, all of it. Thank you for loving.
Just walked down the aisle last weekend to this song, and I could barely keep myself together.. It was the most perfect and beautiful song while I walked to the love of my life ❤
LYRİCS Come with me My love To the sea The sea of love I wanna tell you How much I love you Do you remember When we met That's the day I knew you were my pet I wanna tell you How much I love you Come with me My love To the sea The sea of love I wanna tell you How much I love you
In my phone i clicked the description to find lyrics, instead found a history that comes from the heart and goes amazingly with the song, didn't put much attention to the lyrics but the music seemed appropriate, thanks for sharing
these photographs are beautiful, congratulations Raymond McCarron, and thank you for making them public. adds a whole new melancholic sentiment to the song and its absolutely incredible. can't emphasise enough how much i look up to you
I’ve seen this video for multiple times, but i’ve never read the description. I love this song. Now I’m going through the break up and i was learning this song on guitar and suddenly decided to read description. I really want to sing that song for her,but that will be wired… It’s really beautiful that music is the connection for unknown people, who are suffering the same problems. good luck everyone…
beautiful pictures. beautiful song. Sometimes in moments of sorrow and weakness we find a glimmer of light, a spark. Photography was your light in the darkness. Thank you for sharing.
I watched this video probably two years ago. I remember reading the description, but I was too naive too understand. I will be 16 next month and I have been suffering of depression because of my alcoholic mother. I came back to read the description this time. I didn't care about the music. I also feel as if I don't really belong where I am. I also would LOVE to be a photographer. It has been my dream for many years now. This really spoke to me. I love your pictures. And thank you for posting this video.
Please still be here alive and well, I’m not even sure if you still use TH-cam or remember the comment but I really hope you’re still here with us and are living a lovely and safe and nice life
I subscribed to this because the description captured this song in its rarest form and simplified human emotion into black and white, as we have all had images in our life we simply can not remove and feelings locked in our hearts. We are all just a fading memory waiting to expire. Enjoy the moment it may not last forever.
This song does and always brings tears to my eyes. It brings me back to the fighting, the screaming, the dancing, the loving. But all in all I will not let those things bring me down. We all go through rough times but thats is how we form ourselves into the people we are. I honesty cant believe how far Ive made it in life. But I am so glad I'm here.
I knew of this song but never really listened to it. Again, it caught my attention as the music to the trailer of My Policeman. Strange that it doesn’t feature on the soundtrack. Anyway, had to check that it was Cat Power as the voice wasn’t as smokey or husky as I associate with her. Lovely tune.
I feel like crying tears to this song. Anyone reading this going through a rough break up, know that you are somebody and you are somebody special. There is only one you and no one can ever replace you.
You’re not alone. There’s more of us out there than you know with nowhere to call home. For me, it’s creating music and words. Keep creating and those souls will find you. Art tends to bring the lost together in a way unlike any other. ❤️
The description paired with the song hit me hard, and rewatching the video after reading it made me see the pictures in a whole new light... I'm glad you found something that makes the world meaningful to you, Raymond McCarron.
hey ray, a friend of mine once advised me to seek happiness in other pursuits, and it looks like you've found it. though the pain of a breakup will always take up at least a little space in your heart, you can fill the rest of it with your passions like photography or music. i hope you find more avenues which bring you joy in this life. :) and thanks for sharing the song + photos, mate!
Listening to this thinking of meeting my baby in November 2021 :) pregnancy is more difficult than I expected. I read the description and I hope you find love in yourself, in someone special, and maybe a baby if that's what you want. I'm 31 and having a baby. Didn't meet the man who would become my husband till I was 27, so late 20's or early 30's isn't too old to fall in love and start a family. It may be the best time
I've had this song in my playlist for so long and am only just now reading the description, you are beautiful person and I hope you have found a home and someone to share it with.
usually i don't care much about this, but singing about love in such a depressing way like getting dumped, wanting to tell your ex, having all the words in order, but not doing so.. Great stuff, we've all been there.
Reading this in 2020, glad you found something special for you in photography. Keep growing everyday and I hope you drown in your own happiness in this life :)
My girlfriend of ten years died a year after we had our only kid. Now 33 a single father completely empty and torn am still looking for something to fill that gap. Its easy to smile and laugh when we're together however the moment I put her to bed its a different story. I'm glad you found something to take your mind away from it all. Im still looking after four years. My love bruv
I dedicate this to my two-week-old son. It's not the first song he heard, and I wanted it to be, but I played it for him tonight. And Raymond, thank you for the pictures.
Read your description as the song and your photographs were obscured from view. I then typed this comment, missing the photos a second time. The photos have been missed again as the song finished. I'm going to restart the video a 3rd time to looks upon your works. Know that your words are not unread nor your photos unseen. A human being you've never met, likely to never meet, from across the world, or perhaps down your street, has just stumbled upon your work. It is a thing of beauty, as is your spirit. as is your inspiration. -a fellow human being on the rock
Came here as highschooler years ago after watching Juno. Had a hunger and angsty for love. Presently.. came back in my 30's experiencing that amazing love and love 4 self that I've manifested back then. I'm so grateful for that teen me who always believed in the deepest of love that brings serenity 😌🥹✨ Love from The Kheedaverse ❤️🔥🧜🏿♀️🪄🪭
brunettesweetie21 To me it makes me think of a scene of fond memories. Spontaneously thinking of everything you've both been through and just allowing yourself to sink into the sea of love with them. The sadness comes from the sound though, as it's easy to imagine a scene where someone is singing this song, with it's gloomy tone that seems to bring a lump to the throat, to their lover who's on their death bed. Something about the way the song sounds has a feeling like the singer is struggling to get it out... like it's all they can do to sing this song before falling apart. It's the instrumentals in the background that bring all the strain imo. Even without lyrical implication, it just has a feeling of finality to it all somehow. It's not really that way, but the sound feeds this feeling of nostalgia for something that's gone or leaving. At your wedding? Well it could work really well imo, while it could signify your professed love and your vows, it can also hit home with your relatives who may already be married and trigger nostalgia and appreciation for what they still have. I don't really think it's weird at all given how many feelings this song can evoke.
Last year we got married. This song played as my beautiful wife to be walked down the aisle and it was the closest I came to crying all day. Her friend played it on the piano and sang and it was just.......perfect. Thank you Cat Power
Raymond, I have listened to this song so many times using this video and I always loved the photography with it. When I read your description on this video I can't help to say I know the emotions that you felt at the time you wrote that. I was actually watching Juno when my boyfriend of the time had broken up with me nevertheless I still found peace in this song. Your photography is stunning and reminds me of one of my favorite photographers Diane Arbus. Moreover, I wanted to thank you for this video and I hope you have found much peace in your life.
My favorite song in the world. This song makes me think of how one day my mom and everyone else that is special to me will one day not be here, and this song just makes me think of every good memory I have with them and how that time is already gone, yet at the same time I see myself getting married to this song.
ty for the song and the poignant photos --it touches a chord in the psyche of my being --u r very articulate and talented ...i loved yr description ... from the depths of pain u reach within your soul to produce art ..a thing of beauty thats touches your viewer ..i wish you well and hope u can find happiness in your life and enjoy its wonders.pls do try your hand at writing as well :) u r good!!!
Dear Raymond, I call myself Nate and you can call me Nate if you like. I really do enjoy your photos. Before coming to this video I never knew who/what cat power was! I had heard a bit of the song before and liked it. Your photos are very lovely and I even want to become a photographer when I can afford a nice camera and go to school for it. Love the video overall. - Nate
@@isaaccain853 I didn't end up going. Unfortunately, my life never went in that direction. My mental health caused me to mostly fail high school, except for my senior year. I gave up on going to college and, essentially, made no life plans. I work full-time in a field I greatly enjoy, even if my current work location isn't the best. I hope to go to college, though. I want to go so bad, and go into my desired field, which is zoology. Maybe one day, but I can't imagine it'll be terribly soon. I still love photography, and do it as a hobby. I don't have any fancy equipment, just my dad's old camera and my phone.
"i barely recognise myself from the young man who entered university thinking that a formal education in psychology was going to make me happy, that this prescribed route was going to make me stop wondering, and actually live my life, instead of scratching at it, watching it." This cut really deep into a problem I've been trying to solve lately. I greatly appreciate your description, especially your use of the word "orgasmic", a wonderfully, playfully expressive word not found often enough.
I found this song because I watched Pretty Little Liars and it appeared in an episode and I instantly had to find this song because it was so beautiful. The photography is amazing and the description was so touching:')
The first line of your description caught my eye. That was one of the most sobering things I have read in a long while. "I barely recognise myself from the young man who entered university thinking that a formal education in psychology was going to make me happy, that this prescribed route was going to make me stop wondering, and actually live my life, instead of scratching at it, watching it". Reading that felt like seeing myself in the mirror for the first time in a while. I am 19 and starting university now myself with a degree in political science, silently hoping that something will just come my way that snaps me awake and gives me a sense of purpose in any of it. It's crazy to think that I was only four years old when you wrote that, I hope you are doing well man, the photos add so much to this song. I hope that 15 years later you can look back at that and feel that you have grown, we'll see if I can say the same in 2039 :)
I was looking for this song to dedicate it to my sweetie and found this version. I listened to it to see if I liked it before posting. Then I saw the pictures, leading me to read the information. This video had a profound impact on me this morning as I'm laying here sleepless, missing my baby.I work out of town 3 days a week. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to give her an extra squeeze when I get home tonight.
Thank u for posting this video and writing of ur pain I can relate so much to everything u wrote of and so yeah just simply thank you for this most likely has helped many other than myself to continue forward . Hope to read a future post describing of a turnaround for u , that would help heal or brighten so many peoples perspectives of reality :)
I love the photos and your confession. It really touched me and I can relate exept I can relate with water colors and oil pastels. You're very talented and I think you should continue to post videos of your pictures.
I just wanted to let you know this song popped into my head a few moments ago and I stumbled upon your video for a listen. I always read the descriptions for any extra information. I read your entire journey. So I clicked mute on the music and watched your photography as a slideshow. You have a wonderful way with using natural light and reflection. I personally use photography as my comfort blanket. I have severe anxiety and any time I am behind my camera, I am as confident as a bird committing itself to the air. I just wanted to share that and ensure you that your photos are being seen and appreciated :)
this song was on a cd my aunt made me and my twin when we were born. my mom played the cd all the time in the car. i stumbled on this song about a week ago from a trailer i saw at the movies. i haven’t heard it in so long. i went home and listened to it over and over again. this song really feels like my mom. when she was younger and less stressed and actually had time for doing things outside of work. she’s the reason i’m still going today. she takes me to the hospital every 6 weeks for my infusion because i have crohn’s disease. i love her so much but i feel like there isn’t time anymore to express it what with me and school and her and work. i don’t know. i learned this song on guitar and im thinking of playing it for her soon.
now this is the very first time i actually read and appreciate a youtube video description. i felt poetic reading the description while listening to song and having a glance of the nostalgic photographs, it makes this video ten times more beautiful
Your pictures are great, hope you'll start to live your life someday even if it's not the one you planned at the beginning. But, who cares, having a planned future is boring and you can still find love :) If you pass by Paris someday I'd be glad to takes pictures with you as an amateur
what can i say? this song is the greatest way how i feel .life is too short , i married my best friend it sounds stupid but i love.her . we make enough money to be happy and i hope we can be loyal. this song was our first dance when we got married. julie is the best thing that happened to me. one day i hope you love the girl of your dreams. i know i have!!
At first this was the song my mom sang to me when I was an infant but now, it's me and my cat's song. Rest in peace ozzy you will be missed greatly. I'll meet you again one sunny day my sweet baby boy

Played right before I walked down the aisle.. Can't hear it without tearing up now!
awww ;)
RawBeautyKristi.
I sang this to my son when he was born. Still do :)
think this is my girls isle song! but wasnt it a sad part in juno?
My wife and I slow danced to it for our first dance. Kind of an odd choice maybe, but it had meaning to us. I sing it to my son when I am rocking him to sleep now...
Raymond, I don't know if you read your comments. I haven't seen Juno, but I do read descriptions. I want to thank you for uploading this song and your beautiful photographs. This song isn't a sad one for me, but a celebration. I'm 50 years old and have never married nor had children.

Beautiful description

Ouah 😢 je vous lis depuis la France 🇫🇷 et pourtant j’étais à côté de vous ,tout a côté 😊
te abrazo, te abrazo.
i have struggled with depression for all of my life when ever i listen to this song i always cry. not because i'm sad but because it makes me feel happy to know that people love me for me and that i am what god wanted me to be. for anyone who feels that they shouldnt live anymore, know this. ive experienced your pain. people laugh at you for being different. you should laugh at them for all being the same.
My bunny just died today and this song fits perfectly. He was my best friend, I hope he’s doing fine. I love you, Travesura. Wherever you are now
My bunny died a year ago too. Must have been around the same time. Maybe they are playing together ❤️
RIP
Even in 2020 I understand how you felt, this song was also an anthem for me during a terrible breakup a couple years ago that changed my life. Now remembering this song it doesn’t make me sad anymore, thanks for reminding me that people can grow✨

May I ask you if you found the courage in the end?
Thanks Raymond, god bless you. You are artistically inclined. Your soul can see deeper than others.
You have a gift Raymond....these photos are so therapeutic and beautiful....thank you for sharing your journey....bless you.
I came here because I really love cat power, but I'd like to let you know Raymond that I think your photographs are really beautiful and touching. I hope your heart is beginning to heal and that you are still embracing your passion as I think you are very talented x
I agree!
I read the description. I imagine that you wrote it 8 years ago from now. So, 8 years after, it's me. Reading this and feeling so identify with your emotions. Exactly the same. You'd be astonished of how your story is the same as mine. Thanks for sharing. This is one of my favorite songs ever.
The description though
I wouldn't have even read it if I hadn't seen your comment. Thanks.
Great stuff here.
exactly. the description is what drew me in. open, raw, vulnerable, i re read it several times, beautiful

My Policeman brought me here. Magnifique interprétation de «Sea of love» par Cat Power.
I’ve seen this video for multiple times, but i’ve never read the description. I love this song. Now I’m going through the break up and i was learning this song on guitar and suddenly decided to read description. I really want to sing that song for her,but that will be wired…
It’s really beautiful that music is the connection for unknown people, who are suffering the same problems. good luck everyone…
This is what longing, yearning, wanting, sounds like. Thank you for sharing your thoughts Raymond.
I can't stop listening to this song...
beautiful pictures. beautiful song. Sometimes in moments of sorrow and weakness we find a glimmer of light, a spark. Photography was your light in the darkness. Thank you for sharing.

discovered this song because of "My Policeman" trailer and I'm so glad I did

If you have never seen the movie Juno, you should check it out. This song is from that movie and the movie is one of my all time favs
Brave enough to write about how you feel. Thumbs up!
beautiful song I've always loved and gorgeous pictures. I always come to your version Raymond. much love xxxxxx
The pictures, the description, the song, everything about this is touching
I always choose this version of cat power clip because of your photos. Beautiful, sensible and touching images.
I feel like crying tears to this song. Anyone reading this going through a rough break up, know that you are somebody and you are somebody special. There is only one you and no one can ever replace you.
I wish I fought harder for her... but I can't turn back time. I think about her every damn day.
new album release in three days !
Go get her.
Yeah, same man. I wish I did.
Veronika Moser fuck off man he is clearly having a MOMENT
if you can’t get her back there will be so many more new days and new beginnings, I promise you guys will feel whole again, with or without a girl ❤️
I read your comment Raymond, and you are a very talented photographer and I hope you know that you are loved :)
Love this...my daughter walked down the isle to this song..so beautiful.
I walked down the aisle at my wedding to this song. Great memories!
Us too
Esta canción me hace sentir melancolía y nostalgia,la amo!
You’re not alone. There’s more of us out there than you know with nowhere to call home.
For me, it’s creating music and words.
Keep creating and those souls will find you. Art tends to bring the lost together in a way unlike any other.

My dog left me today, this was our favorite song.
I've watched this video so many times over the years, beautiful song and amazing photos, thank you!
This was the song that got me through many very difficult times during my pregnancy. Just danced to it with my now 1 1/2 year old :,)
The photos are so powerful, you are an amazing photographer. Keep up what you're doing.
You Mr. McCarron, with the sad, sensitive heart. From one guy to another, Que sera, sera. you have touched even this brittle heart. GODSPEED!
hey ray, a friend of mine once advised me to seek happiness in other pursuits, and it looks like you've found it. though the pain of a breakup will always take up at least a little space in your heart, you can fill the rest of it with your passions like photography or music. i hope you find more avenues which bring you joy in this life. :) and thanks for sharing the song + photos, mate!

Re-watching Juno brought me here. A beautiful and underrated Cat Power song. Love that scene.
Raymond, stay well. Love and wishes.
I've had this song in my playlist for so long and am only just now reading the description, you are beautiful person and I hope you have found a home and someone to share it with.
meghan noble What a beautiful thing to say. Rare to find these days
usually i don't care much about this, but singing about love in such a depressing way like getting dumped, wanting to tell your ex, having all the words in order, but not doing so.. Great stuff, we've all been there.
Reading this in 2020, glad you found something special for you in photography.
Keep growing everyday and I hope you drown in your own happiness in this life :)

Never give up, you're the light in someone else's world

everyone is commenting saying this song reminds them of heartbreak, but it reminds me of love.. is it weird that i'd want this song at my wedding?
brunettesweetie21 To me it makes me think of a scene of fond memories. Spontaneously thinking of everything you've both been through and just allowing yourself to sink into the sea of love with them.
The sadness comes from the sound though, as it's easy to imagine a scene where someone is singing this song, with it's gloomy tone that seems to bring a lump to the throat, to their lover who's on their death bed. Something about the way the song sounds has a feeling like the singer is struggling to get it out... like it's all they can do to sing this song before falling apart. It's the instrumentals in the background that bring all the strain imo. Even without lyrical implication, it just has a feeling of finality to it all somehow. It's not really that way, but the sound feeds this feeling of nostalgia for something that's gone or leaving.
At your wedding? Well it could work really well imo, while it could signify your professed love and your vows, it can also hit home with your relatives who may already be married and trigger nostalgia and appreciation for what they still have. I don't really think it's weird at all given how many feelings this song can evoke.
+brunettesweetie21 Thank you, its a song of renewal
+brunettesweetie21 I'm walking down the aisle to this song. It's not depressing, it's full of love.
+WithThisHand same! it's what i always envision.. too perfect
+brunettesweetie21 Not at all hon. It will be a gorgeous choice and youll make a wonderful bride x
photography is one of the greatest forms of expression. keep it up.
Last year we got married. This song played as my beautiful wife to be walked down the aisle and it was the closest I came to crying all day. Her friend played it on the piano and sang and it was just.......perfect. Thank you Cat Power
Raymond, I have listened to this song so many times using this video and I always loved the photography with it. When I read your description on this video I can't help to say I know the emotions that you felt at the time you wrote that. I was actually watching Juno when my boyfriend of the time had broken up with me nevertheless I still found peace in this song. Your photography is stunning and reminds me of one of my favorite photographers Diane Arbus. Moreover, I wanted to thank you for this video and I hope you have found much peace in your life.
lovely :)
Beautiful description.
My favorite song in the world. This song makes me think of how one day my mom and everyone else that is special to me will one day not be here, and this song just makes me think of every good memory I have with them and how that time is already gone, yet at the same time I see myself getting married to this song.
ty for the song and the poignant photos --it touches a chord in the psyche of my being --u r very articulate and talented ...i loved yr description ... from the depths of pain u reach within your soul to produce art ..a thing of beauty thats touches your viewer ..i wish you well and hope u can find happiness in your life and enjoy its wonders.pls do try your hand at writing as well :) u r good!!!
Hey guys, like if you read some of the description of this video . Thank you very much Raymond for sharing this with us.
You're description tugs at me heart strings. Beautiful photos, keep being an individual.
juno brought me here. This song had me in my feelings lol
Dear Raymond,
I call myself Nate and you can call me Nate if you like. I really do enjoy your photos. Before coming to this video I never knew who/what cat power was! I had heard a bit of the song before and liked it. Your photos are very lovely and I even want to become a photographer when I can afford a nice camera and go to school for it. Love the video overall.

Terrible lié nin
how did photography school go
@@isaaccain853 I didn't end up going. Unfortunately, my life never went in that direction. My mental health caused me to mostly fail high school, except for my senior year. I gave up on going to college and, essentially, made no life plans. I work full-time in a field I greatly enjoy, even if my current work location isn't the best. I hope to go to college, though. I want to go so bad, and go into my desired field, which is zoology. Maybe one day, but I can't imagine it'll be terribly soon. I still love photography, and do it as a hobby. I don't have any fancy equipment, just my dad's old camera and my phone.
"i barely recognise myself from the young man who entered university thinking that a formal education in psychology was going to make me happy, that this prescribed route was going to make me stop wondering, and actually live my life, instead of scratching at it, watching it." This cut really deep into a problem I've been trying to solve lately. I greatly appreciate your description, especially your use of the word "orgasmic", a wonderfully, playfully expressive word not found often enough.
I did read the description, I hope you are doing well, Raymond :)
I found this song because I watched Pretty Little Liars and it appeared in an episode and I instantly had to find this song because it was so beautiful. The photography is amazing and the description was so touching:')
It was also in the Juno soundtrack.
One of the best soundtracks of all times.
Juno the movie?
The first line of your description caught my eye. That was one of the most sobering things I have read in a long while. "I barely recognise myself from the young man who entered university thinking that a formal education in psychology was going to make me happy, that this prescribed route was going to make me stop wondering, and actually live my life, instead of scratching at it, watching it". Reading that felt like seeing myself in the mirror for the first time in a while. I am 19 and starting university now myself with a degree in political science, silently hoping that something will just come my way that snaps me awake and gives me a sense of purpose in any of it. It's crazy to think that I was only four years old when you wrote that, I hope you are doing well man, the photos add so much to this song. I hope that 15 years later you can look back at that and feel that you have grown, we'll see if I can say the same in 2039 :)
gosh darn allergies always act up this time of year (its winter)
I love this song, it's so tragically beautiful and moving
I was looking for this song to dedicate it to my sweetie and found this version. I listened to it to see if I liked it before posting. Then I saw the pictures, leading me to read the information. This video had a profound impact on me this morning as I'm laying here sleepless, missing my baby.I work out of town 3 days a week. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to give her an extra squeeze when I get home tonight.
Thank u for posting this video and writing of ur pain I can relate so much to everything u wrote of and so yeah just simply thank you for this most likely has helped many other than myself to continue forward . Hope to read a future post describing of a turnaround for u , that would help heal or brighten so many peoples perspectives of reality :)
So wonderful it hurts.
all round masterpiece the photographs and the song thank you Raymond thank you Cat Power
I love the photos and your confession. It really touched me and I can relate exept I can relate with water colors and oil pastels.
You're very talented and I think you should continue to post videos of your pictures.
i want to die to this song
me too
I always say shit like this.
Annika Ohta lol
I felt the same when I heard it......
Annika Ohta you might like heaven by imonster♡ look it up!
Beautiful story, beautiful pictures. Thank you, Raymond.
I just wanted to let you know this song popped into my head a few moments ago and I stumbled upon your video for a listen. I always read the descriptions for any extra information. I read your entire journey. So I clicked mute on the music and watched your photography as a slideshow. You have a wonderful way with using natural light and reflection. I personally use photography as my comfort blanket. I have severe anxiety and any time I am behind my camera, I am as confident as a bird committing itself to the air.
I just wanted to share that and ensure you that your photos are being seen and appreciated :)
this song was on a cd my aunt made me and my twin when we were born. my mom played the cd all the time in the car. i stumbled on this song about a week ago from a trailer i saw at the movies. i haven’t heard it in so long. i went home and listened to it over and over again. this song really feels like my mom. when she was younger and less stressed and actually had time for doing things outside of work. she’s the reason i’m still going today. she takes me to the hospital every 6 weeks for my infusion because i have crohn’s disease. i love her so much but i feel like there isn’t time anymore to express it what with me and school and her and work. i don’t know. i learned this song on guitar and im thinking of playing it for her soon.
now this is the very first time i actually read and appreciate a youtube video description. i felt poetic reading the description while listening to song and having a glance of the nostalgic photographs, it makes this video ten times more beautiful
Your pictures are great, hope you'll start to live your life someday even if it's not the one you planned at the beginning. But, who cares, having a planned future is boring and you can still find love :) If you pass by Paris someday I'd be glad to takes pictures with you as an amateur
what can i say? this song is the greatest way how i feel .life is too short , i married my best friend it sounds stupid but i love.her . we make enough money to be happy and i hope we can be loyal. this song was our first dance when we got married. julie is the best thing that happened to me. one day i hope you love the girl of your dreams. i know i have!!
So compelling, so beautifyl. Thank you Raymond and Cat.
Every time I hear that song, I think about my dog. He really saved me.
Heard this on the trailer of My Policeman ♥️
Kristian, this song will always remind me of the five greatest years I've ever had, the time I was with you. Thank you, I miss you and I love you.
Your description was heartbreaking. I always loved the Robert Plant version of this song-it is not the least bit haunting. Check it out.
Nice but the harp is missing there...
Haunting is a great description for this version
Anyone remember this from Juno? I cry every time
TigerLily the whole juno soundtrack was on point
Thank you Raymond, beautiful deep thoughtful and personal text. Thanks for sharing. And the best to you !
I'm saving this song for the right girl. The one I wanna marry :)
Here from my policeman
At first this was the song my mom sang to me when I was an infant but now, it's me and my cat's song.
Rest in peace ozzy you will be missed greatly.
I'll meet you again one sunny day my sweet baby boy
Sea of Love is the only song that makes me cry
I only cry because of a certain fan comic.
