Lost Video Island

[LOST_Fanatic]

I just recently heard a song this week by one of my favorite bands, Enation. The song is entitled "Letter to My Son" and was written by the band's lead singer, Jonathan Jackson, to his son. It's an amazing and touching song and I thought it would be wonderful to use in a video about Charlie and Aaron's relationship. It could even be used as a sort of AU story where Charlie is giving Aaron some advice before he says goodbye.

Here are the lyrics to the song. Sorry if they are not perfect. I couldn't find any lyrics on the net, so I had to write them myself by ear and it's a long song, just shy of 7 minutes. If you would like to do a video with it, tell me and I'll try to send you the song.

Letter to My Son- Enation

Listen to me ???
Papa’s singing to you now
Vanity of vanities
Chasing of the wind
Everything you do will one day end
Touch a stove and you’ll get burned
Run and you may fall
Stand in one place for too long
And you might not live at all
Put her in a pedestal
And she might fall on you
Make sure you know she’s the one
Before you say I do
Money fades
And glory turns into the biggest fight
Welcome homes are always so much better then goodbyes

Beauty and the charmed deceive
Verdure is rare
Rain fall on everyone
????
Try to learn from my mistakes
Avoid stubbornness
A lie may get you what you want
But it won’t keep many friends
Love is patient, love is kind
Pride has to be right
Forgiveness heals and grugrus kill
So you can’t sleep at night
A home without a father
Is a home without a gun
A kiss that has no cut in it
Is scared and on the run

Drink too much and you’ll get drunk
Sleep around and you will see
All that you’ve really known is vanity
In the end you will not care how much you make
And days end and vision fades
Love is what remains
Nothing you will ever do can make me love you more
Nothing you will ever do can make me love you less
There is no stain that grace can wash
Whiter then the snow
There is no greater love
Then the love that Jesus showed
Remember who you are my son
The world can never tell
Listen to the sprit talk
He’s always here to help

The first 20 years are the longest of your life
Don’t be in too big of a rush to have them all go by
Be griseous to the stranger
Be weary of men
Jealousy is poison
And envy is its’ friend
Stay away from a lose girl
It’s never too soon
If you don’t want to sleep with her
Don’t go into her room
Dream aloud day and night u
Under the sun and under the stars
Never ever apologize for being who you are
Please do not despise the (women?) love of a friend
Bring it all into the light
Never hold it in
Notice all the beauty that surrounds you everyday
A rainless night, a cloudy sky
A hug that’s on the way
Remember of whose image you were formed in the womb
Eternity is in your heart
It’s coming back soon
Listen to me carefully
??? Papa’s praying for you know
So rest your head and know

God is love
God is love
God is love

That sounds so good!! I'll give a listen to the song. I've been wanting to do a Charlie/Aaron vid for ages now, but I couldn't find a good song so far.
So yep, I'll give it a listen and maybe it'll inspire me to make the vid.

EDIT: You don't happen to have a download link to the song? I just had a look on my filesharing program and I can't find it, unfortunately.

Yeah I can download it. Do you have an email I can send it to?


Just found a clip of it on YouTube so you can listen to it.

I'll still download it for you if you want. But it won't be till tonight or tomorrow when I do. I'd have to get onto my other computer.

The song is indeed very beautiful! I'll have to listen to it a few more times and more closely, but yes, I think I could give it a try.

It'll be great if you could send me a download link. I'll send you my email address in a PM.
