One Day On The Fields Of France

Posted by admin under CONSCIOUSNESS

Recently I received a cryptic email letting me know that someone had made a video of my song, “One Day On The Fields Of France.” I clicked the link, watched the video, got a little teary (it’s that kind of song), and wondered who made this video and why?

So I sent an email reply with those very questions, and eventually was connected by phone to an amazing woman named Debbie Martin. Debbie owns an internet radio station, SeeQ Radio (Pronounced “seek”). She’d heard the song, was moved by it, and simply felt compelled to make a video of it. Wow, I thought.

This, despite the fact that she’s visually handicapped, and has more on her plate in terms of challenges than most 10 other people. I encourage you to check out SeeQ Radio for some inspiring, motivating, healing, and empowering music.

Here’s the video. Let me know what you think in the comments section, and feel free to let others know about it. (You might want to have some kleenex handy….)

Dear Greg,

I have always loved that song of yours, and with this video it is even more evocative. The way Debbie Martin blends scenes from so long ago to more recently in Iraq is especially moving — another reminder that while the scenes may change, the themes of loss, pain, and need for forgiveness continue.

Unfortunately the pain is sometimes greater than one can tolerate, though. There is a photo in the video of a soldier holding an Iraqi child — another image of the same soldier adn child was on the cover of Newsweek. Unfortunately, this soldier committed suicide once back in the USA. Our VA system did not help him with his own inner aftermath, apparently.

Thank you for sharing this remarkable combination of your beautiful music with Debbie Martin’s video.

Be well,
Pam

Of the first 1100 American deaths in Iraq after CSN&Y’s 2006 tour, 100 were suicides, according to a tag line at the end of the movie about their tour. Some pain is truly greater than one can tolerate. I think we are in the End Times, with the End Times referring to our increasing intolerance of America’s arrogance toward the world’s peoples, and towards the earth.
