MM: I Miss My Friend

This is another entry I pulled from Sister Snoopy back in 2006.  I don't watch CMT anymore (don't have it on my satellite package) so I don't see videos unless I search for them online.  I just sat and watched the video that goes with this song for the first time in several years.  It still makes me sad.  I feel like I can relate--though not necessarily with the twist at the end.

I think I probably heard and saw I Miss My Friend on CMT for the first time. I fell in love with the song instantly. (Did that make sense? The first time I was *aware* of I Miss My Friend was on CMT. I hadn't heard it on the radio yet. Does that sound better?)

Okay. If you haven't seen the video, go watch it before you finish reading my blog. The link will open up in a new window so you won't lose me.

Have you watched it yet?

So, what did you think of it?

The first time I saw the music video (and heard the song for the first time as I was watching the music video)--I was absolutely blown away by the revelation that he's passed on at the end. The tears just flowed and flowed. I don't think I've ever had a music video hit me with such an impact!--neither before nor since I first saw it. I'm still reminded every time I see or hear the song about how I felt when it was over...

Music has such an incredible power in our lives-- for both good and bad. This experience that I had with I Miss My Friend is a perfect example of what I mean.
