For Oksana...



My friend Oksana died tragically in April 2001 at the age of 20. Whenever I hear this song, I think of her.


Incidentally, I think that you can tell that the writers of this song and the director of the video read L.M. Montgomery's Anne books and watched the movie for inspiration!

    Lovely. Made me cry at first, but then I found myself smiling at the end.

    Oh, Emily, one of my dear friends, Lydia, died in April, 2001 as well. She was 17.

    I would definitely say that Anne (being Elaine) was a direct influence!

    May her memory be eternal ... but I couldn't help laughing when the water came in the boat and she sat up!

    Oh no doubt about Anne being the inspiration for this video! Makes me love the song even more :)
