| Free Hello fellow JDRF Supporters, It’s been an incredible time since I last touched base with all my JDRF friends. I’ve been just about around the world, getting to share my music with millions of people. How cool is that? Even though I’ve been on the road, you folks and the great work you are doing for the Promise to Remember Me Campaign have never been far from my mind. One of my favorite songs to perform is called “Free.” I love it not just because it’s a beautiful melody, but because the lyrics make me think of all you, and all we have done as a team and how we won’t give up until we’ve reached our goal: a cure for diabetes. Listen to the chorus: You'll be free Nothing's impossible Free (alright, alright) You've achieved the unexplainable Free I believe that miracles Happen to those Who refuse to be told They can happen when we least expect So we let ourselves be free. When Tom, Lorraine and I decided to set out goal for this Promise campaign at 400 meetings, a lot of people thought that might just be impossible. But we didn’t because we knew that you – our teammates in the battle for a cure – can and will achieve the seemingly impossible, the unexplainable, so that we can move toward the miracle of a cure. And you are doing it. As of this week, we’ve completed 321 meetings. That means 60 percent of Congress have met with you face to face, heard your stories and yes, promised to remember us all when it comes to supporting whatever we need on Capitol Hill for a cure. And you keep pushing and working toward our goal. I know you know that nothing is impossible. I know you understand that, one day, we will achieve a mighty goal and we will all be free of diabetes. Keep up the good work and know that every time I open a set, every time I sing a song and every day I work at living with diabetes, I remember you, the people who are truly working toward a world free of diabetes. Pull out your Elliot Yamin CD and play this song for inspiration. Or go to YouTube and download it to your IPod to play on the way to your next Promise Meeting. And know that, each and every day, I am thankful you are part of the Promise to Remember Me Campaign. Best, Elliott Yamin |

Can you really download YouTube songs to your iPod? I did not know that was possible. I wonder if he meant iTunes for the download. |

you're welcome! :) funny coz it was actually my sister (who isn't a really big fan of elliott) who found that. we listened to the promise to remember me song the other night and she was looking for the lyrics when she found that and sent me the link. hehe. :elliottelliott:
:rotfl: :rotfl: I didn't notice that!
There's a program that I saw on the internet that could download YouTube videos and convert them to mp3/wma/avi/wmv/ipod video files. I just don't know if that's what he was talking about.. |
