One of the saddest videos ever?

Glen Campbell knew he was slipping into the fog of Alzheimer's. He wrote and performed one last song that explored the reality of what was happening.

If you have known anyone with this terrible disease, you'll know what he's talking about.




I'm still here, but yet I'm gone
I don't play guitar or sing my songs
They never defined who I am
The man that loves you 'til the end
You're the last person I will love
You're the last face I will recall
And best of all, I'm not gonna to miss you.
Not gonna miss you.

I'm never gonna hold you like I did
Or say I love you to the kids
You're never gonna see it in my eyes
It's not gonna hurt me when you cry
I'm never gonna know what you go through
All the things I say or do
All the hurt and all the pain
One thing selfishly remains
I'm not gonna miss you
I'm not gonna miss you

Very very sad, incredibly brave man

Fantastic musician, sung two of my favourite songs EVER: Wichita Lineman and By The Time I Get to Phoenix (both written by Jimmy Webb). Sad end. He has had an amazing life. Lovely little tune this one too, reminds me of The Flaming Lips in some way.
