Dear Buddy,
I've always liked John Denver, whose talent and reputation seemed to
reflect what I considered the best about America and Americans ... I
think perhaps the sad fact that he is gone lends a certain melancholy
to the work, though it was not intentional. The song itself is
beautiful, and encompasses my thoughts about Oliver completely.
Speaking of longing and unrequited love, I think the Beatles work, "I
Will" provided my film of the same name with a deeper sense of
melancholy. If you listen to the words, clearly the singer realises
two sad facts. First, he had never met his love and second, he never
would, but be left to wait and hope and remain true.
This strikes me, as a Boylover, to be intensely poignant, and I chose
McCartney's tune for that very reason.
Thank you again for your wonderful comments endorsing my work. I
enjoy doing film--well, at least what now approximates film-- but
appreciation for the effort is equally rewarding.
My Best Wishes, Always,
V
