break out the tissues;) I just put together a video of Elliott, looking back at the past two years and just...remembering AI and what the show GAVE us, what ELLIOTT gave us. The song is by James Blunt and is called One of the Brightest Stars, and the second I heard this song, I knew just where it belonged. A video dedication to a man who has a heart, and soul as big and beautiful as his voice. Here's to you Elliott as we prepare for another season of AI, it will just NEVER be the same without YOU, yet the world is now BLESSED, to hear you, feel you, and know you. If you like the video, please comment and who knows, maybe E will see this one too!

ENJOY;)

Yellin,
Thanks so much for sharing that beautiful tribute to Elliott with us. I loved the song. James Blunt sounded kind of like the Bee Gees. Wow! What a great journey. We were all there with him.

I thought the EXACT same thing...BeeGee's......lovely!!

lol...he does sound EXACTLY like the BeeGee's!! I bought his latest CD thinking there was ANOTHER song that I loved and I wanted to make a video of E, and mistakingly got the wrong CD..but the CD is great and had this little gem on it, and as I heard it for the first time last night driving in town alone, I was brought to tears, and instantly thought...how perfect. ;) Glad you are all enjoying it, and you never, EVER have to thank me, because it is absolutely my pleasure! xo

Thank you yellin. :rocker: Elliott has come a long way hasn't he? Can't wait for the next tour!

I posted a comment on Youtube...But I have to add...That song is a perfect tribute to Elliott from the entire Etrain!!! We all knew he was the one from the very beginning....hmmmmmmm do you think MAYBE that is why we are all still here today???? He is our shining star and shines down on each and everyone of us who has been united by One man...Elliott Yamin!!!

Thank you Deb...It is awesome...So happy you are still "Connected"

Hugs,

Theresa

That was beautiful! I know it was your pleasre to do it :) but still Thank YOU!!
I loved the progression of the pictures and well...everything about it.

I hope you don't mind that I am posting the lyrics. I had to go find them. They are so beautiful.

One day your story will be told
One of the lucky ones who’s made his name
One day they’ll make you glorious, beneath the lights of your deserved fame.
And it all comes round, once in a lifetime like it always does
Everybody loves you cause you’ve taken a chance out on a dance to the moon - too soon

And yes they told you so - we were the ones who saw you first of all
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars

One day they’ll tell you that you’ve changed, though their the ones who seem to stop and stare.
One day you’ll hope to make the grave - before the papers choose to send you there

And it all comes round once in a lifetime like it always does
Nobody loves you cause you’ve taken a chance out on a dance to the moon - too soon

And yes they told you so - we were the ones who saw you first of all
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars

And yes they told you so - we were the ones who saw you first of all
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars

I love the lyrics, thank you Linda!! I wish I knew how to take the youtube AI vids I downloaded to realplayer, and download them to windows, cause then I could have taken snippets of the actual live action show..and when the lyrics said "too soon" I would have shown when he was going home...;( I really could have done it up good, but I have yet to figure out how to do that, but I am glad I have found some others on youtube that DO know how!!

Why do you insist on making me cry everytime you make a video?? I mean seriously, this is crazy. You have a gift yellin...making me sob & making wonderful tributes to Elliott. Loves it. :wub:
