Music video by Glen Campbell performing I'm Not Gonna Miss You - A Scene From Glen Campbell I'll Be Me. (C) 2014 Big Machine #GlenCampbell #ImNotGonnaMissYou #Vevo #Country
Just found this yesterday. This was the last session Joe Osborn and Hal Blaine and Glenn Campbell did together. Friends for over 50 years. That's my father playing the bass. Sad to watch, but good to see them together. Those three men, and Glenn made a massive contribution to the fabric of American music, and inspired the world. The song took the grammy for best country song.
@Random Music Stuff Yes, Joe Osborn is my father. As you probably know, he died December 14, 2018. He was my best friend and I miss him terribly. Hal Blaine passed 3 months later. They are a big part of why the '60s sound the way they sound. I was fortunate to see them work together on hundreds of recordings.
That is very neat to find videos of your dad playing over the years. I randomly stumbled upon Glen Campbell’s “Wichita Lineman” a day before his 3 year death anniversary, and then over the weekend progressed to learn about The Wrecking Crew. 5 years ago I wouldn’t have really liked this music but suddenly I can’t get enough it. I’m going to look up what else Joe Osborn is known for.
@@metalfaceoff945 check out the soundtrack to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's all Joe. The Association and Johnny Rivers is all Joe. Aquarius/ Let the sun shine from the fifth dimension is the stuff of legend, even today.
Oh I see and it’s a perfect song to listen to my dear and I remember my late wife because of this song my dear and it’s a perfect song to listen to my dear and what do you have to say ?
True. I cry like a baby every time I hear it Losing a loved one over and over every day is hard, the last time you lose them has to be the hardest, but losing them daily is hard on the heart.
I have not, but I cannot listen to this song without crying. That's the value of art, and Glen is a true artist and has transferred this pain beautifully in song. I hope I never experience it in my family. Bless you that have, my heart breaks for you.
I have never had a loved one who suffered with Alzheimers - but this song is incredibly sad for anyone who understands the meaning. And so sad for Glen.
I remember when I first heard this song. I thought it was a sad, but beautiful tribute to his family. Now in 2023 I'm watching my grandfather die from dementia. I'm watching him not miss us, not know us, he is a shell of what he once was. I wish I could take it away, I wish I could make him remember. I wish I could be a kid for one more day. He was like my dad. He helped raise me. I don't want to do this.
No matter how many times ai hear this song, its heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. Thank you Glen Campbell for putting this disease into words.
My friend is a late in life son of a lovely couple. My friend's widowed father had to be in a residential care facility when his dementia progressed significantly. My friend visited his father often at that facility. He would come home depressed and tell his wife: "Dad doesn't even know who I am when I visit him. But he seems to be happy to meet me as a stranger". His wife told him to look at his dad's affliction from a different perspective. "Dad is happy to meet 'new people" every time we go to see him".
My wife had an aunt that had dementia. We would go visit her and she would remember us and we would go away for a few minutes to talk with the nurses. We would come back and she remembered who we were but not that we saw her 10 minutes earlier. You have to accept this and play along.
I don't think that's a true or fair statement. Those who know Glen; know of all his pains an especially towards the end of his life. So very sad to see him looking from a distance an not know what is happening. Terrible Disease I love you Glen. I am GONNA MISS YOU!! I DO.
Such an unselfish thing the Campbell family has done... allowing his adoring fans to see the devastation this disease is causing him and his family. I grew up loving Glen's songs and played them for my children too. I am very touched by what the family has shared and this song broke my heart - there needs to be more awareness about what this disease does to families and those suffering. As a caregiver to people who are struggling with this and having had my own family members afflicted I appreciate very much what the family has shared. God Bless you all
Very brave of Glen to do this. Oops. Maybe not. He had no idea that he was being put on display. Sorry, but I have mixed feelings. Good for people to understand how horrible Alzheimer's is. But after hearing his last album and watching the powerful documentary, I just feel sorry for him. and his family. And, sadly, this is how I will remember him . A far cry from his collaborations with Jimmy Webb and his starring in True Grit. God bless the Campbell family.
True. It must have been hard for him. But he might have wanted this, independence, liberty, and a natural born fierceness is within us all, that we must remember.
my biggest fear of a disease like this is it taking away my faith the memory of my walk in the real Christ of Calvary, because before him i was a hateful person using and throwing other around like trash, i didnt have compassion for anyone, but now in Christ i would lay down my life for anyone in hopes they find him!
@@stevemartyn3138 He did actually Co-Write it with Julian Raymond... (I looked it up) It is a Great Story in itself ... he knew what was going to happen as did his Wife and Kids
My sweet precious husband of 45 years has the early signs of dementia. We just listened to this song together and wept. He is the one who says to me, “I missed you”, if I am away from him. It’s a terrible disease to watch progress.
I came across this song a few days ago. I will be watching a movie then suddenly I feel like listening to the song again, so I go back to RU-vid. Can’t get enough of Glen Campbell. …..what a great musician.
My dad died at 56 from familial early on set alzheimers disease. I miss him more and more as my life of an adult didn't begin until he was gone. Bless his sweet soul. This disease has stolen so many young people from our family. We are the 5%. This song..... has left an impact on me like no other. ♡ I am so truly sorry for anyone coping with this dreadful life stealing monster.
I hope that 3 years later you have been able to give it a place in your heart. My dad had prostate cancer and I suddenly realised that I would maybe never see him again... he survived and is still with me today but I can now imagine the unimaginable pain and emptyness. I hope you're ok Melanie :*
@@D-Tox_ Thank you so much. I’d like to think your dad is well. It’s been a long time since I first commented on this. Six years ago. This past week has been extremely hard. I’ve missed my dad and cried for him nearly every day. I’m going through a health struggle and even still wish I had him to hold my hand and promise all will be okay. Hugs, Robin.
This song really touches my heart. I work in a nursing home, I see every single day what the residents with dementia and their families go through. Some days are better then others for them. There are days where they do remember their families and friends but other days they don’t remember them.
My grandpa was a korean war veteran. He fought till the end. I wish you were here to see how much the family needs you. We all fell apart when you died. You were the roots to our family. Love you grandpa
Yes, it's difficult. Pray for strength to carry on, Our Lord is with you always. Be thankful for the years he was there teaching you the whole time to be strong and have that fight till the end attitude.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
What a terrific song!!! I once asked a musician friend of mine who his favorite guitar player was and without hesitation he said “Glen Campbell”. Until I began running across his videos on RU-vid I never knew how truly talented he was. And I had heard of the Wrecking Crew, just not the fact that Glen was a part of it. Many thanks to the family for sharing the intimate moments that add to the heartfelt emotion in this song. RIP Mr. Campbell.
I listen to this a few times a day and am not sure why. It is a brutally honest song from a man to his wife about what the end of life is really like as we do not live forever. I have loved Glen Campbell for a long time for his amazing guitar skills and lyrics from his classic songs. I think that it makes me think each day to be a better man, friend, father and husband. It also reminds me of what I need to do to make sure my family knows I love them and what I need to do to make sure they are ready for that sad day that is coming for all of us. Thanks Glen and also the Wrecking Crew. Amazing song.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
Glen is in heaven with the Lord. His family will someday follow and there will be no tears and no missing of anyone....only God's presence and also that of everyone who was loved by him and who loved him as well.
This song was so sad when I first heard it, but it's even more so now. My mother in law has dementia and we see here going down by the day. We dread the day when she no longer remembers us. This song has even more poignancy now. God bless all who is dealing with this disease and the families left devastated by it.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
I have two parents with Dementia and an Aunt with Alzheimer’s. This song is profoundly sad and so true. One of the hardest things of all is to watch them all slowly losing all their memories. And yes it’s true. They not going to miss me. But I completely miss them.
Early this morning Glenn was on my mind, he said he went into the kitchen and for got what he was looking for , they asked him well what did you do , he said I stopped goin in the kitchen ! Glenn is a favorite of mine I fell inlove with Wichita lineman and now I'm not gonna miss you. Glenn is a landmark a legend in his own time. And Glenn is still and forever will be, still on the Line..
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
I was with my father in law when he took his last breath from his battle with this horrible disease ! You are playing and singing again Glen before the Throne better than you ever have !
As an Irish Bass player all my life I hold this Man up as one of the greatest ever Guitarists. A true genius in writing, playing and lyrics however, I find His bravery in bringing the worlds attention to His sickness and the way it effects the patient, Family, Friends and carers is worth a Sainthood. RIP Glen with the odd solo ! Sláinte, John McGuire (Cork, Ireland)
Reminds me so much of my dad. Same lost vacant look. It's heartbreaking, but God brought me home to help my mom care for my dad. It was an honor to be here for him in his last days.
THIS SONG/LYRICS ARE SOOOOOOO SAD! BUT THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG….❤. makes me tear up every tyme…RIP GLEN! THANK YOU FOR ALL THE BEAUTIFUL SONGS YOU LEFT US WITH! (BUT, WE ARE GOING TO MISS YOU!!❤️❤️)
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
This song literally tears me up. My brother who is 59 has Alzheimer's. We lost our oldest sister Oct. 12. That just pushed him completely over the edge. He has been in the Psych Ward for over a week, He will be going to a group home as soon as they can find a bed for him. He doesn't even remember our sister is gone, attending her funeral or her death which he also witnessed. I am glad he is not going to miss us, but I sure miss the person he was.
Oh my heart. This song & the documentary has touched my soul. At present, I have 3 family members progressing with Alzheimer's & Dementia. God Bless Glen Campbell's Family ((+))
the line about not knowing what he puts her through, the things he says and does....no one will ever know what it is like to have to physically hold your mother to keep her from wandering off into the night looking for 'home'...unless you stood there at the door with your heart pounding and knowing no one is there to help you save her. The nights she came to me and begged me in tears to let her mother come to stay with us "She can have ALL my food, I won't eat ANYTHING"...her mother long passed but she was still there in her mind, in that clapboard house at 9 years old, watching her mother starve. And my sister got mad that I 'wasted' money letting her buy ice cream every time we went to the store...'we need that for the funeral!'. No, no one knows what a caregiver goes through...
As someone whose Mother-in-law is afflicted with Dementia, this song really hits home as I watch my wife, her brother and the rest of the family deal with this disease. Thank you Glen for all of your songs, but especially for this one that puts this horrible disease in to words and music.
My dear sweet Mother that will always remain 'Gentle on My Mind' drew her last breath a month ago 03.16.2016. Alzheimer's turned her world and our family's into a hellish nightmare. The disease is a thief that robs not only their mind and ability to function but it takes a person's dignity, which may be a blessing. Thank you Glen Campbell for sharing your top drawer talent, your family and your journey. Sign me, A Forever Fan Mr Campbell ~Linda in western KY 😘
@@jasongreenblatt6068 my Mother had Alzheimer's & died after being in a nursing home for almost 4 years. Not my favorite song but it resonates deeply with me.
@@lifecontent6525 Turns out it was an incorrect diagnosis. After retesting, they're saying it's strictly short term memory loss. (Which also explains why he can remember things from long ago, but not what we talked about yesterday.) How are you and your husband doing?
@@qsmithfield9746 he is still able to converse, but does have trouble remembering words. He can't drive and I gave to help him get dressed and give him his routine meds as he can't remember if he took them or not so I've taken over. The hardest thing is watching him change
I have seen a lot of music videos in my 50+ years, but this one got to me the most, by far..... Man this made me cry, and that doesn't happen soon for me.
I saw Glen Campbell and Andy Williams perform in Branson back in June of 2006 at the Andy Williams Theater before Glen was diagnosed with alzheimer's. They put on a heck of a show. He sure is missed. We can't replace Glen Campbell but we can remember him as a good singer.
God bless Glen Campbell for his courage to write and record this song during his courageous Journey, living with Alzhiemers . Amazing lyrics. Amazing performance from this legendary singer, songwriter and musician! May God bring you and your family comfort during these difficult days Mr. Campbell.
This song is incredibly touching. I can relate with so much of it because my dad has dementia and has declined so much in just the last couple months. :'(
+Krusty Bikers Yes, I do. I think in some ways he is able to communicate his love better now than he would before. He wasn't a very demonstrative man, but now he has nothing to hide behind. He doesn't always know which daughter that I am, but I think that he knows that I am one of his girls. :)
Kelly Pruitt some dads find difficulty showing emotion, only in later life do they understand the importance of a hug or a kind word. I'm sure I missed my fair share with my kids. We can all be too busy earning a living to stop and enjoy the important things.
This song is so amazing. My Dad had Vascular Dementia and Alzheimers and now my Mum has Dementia. It makes me cry every time I hear it. It's just so real.
If you're a die hard GC fan, the Glen Campbell Museum in Nashville is definitely worth checking out. All of his awards, his gold and platinum records, guitars, letters, clothes, etc. It's a great experience.
Thank you to the beautiful Campbell family! I had the good fortune to see your movie yesterday. I was so touched by the way you showed how this disease progresses and robs us of our loved ones and rips their memories away. Thank you so much for sharing your very personal story with us! I pray we can eradicate this one day soon! Prayers for you all and for EVERYONE that must walk down this path!
Thanks for your lovely speech 🎤 my dear and I love this song so much my dear and it’s a perfect song to listen to my dear and what do you have to say ?
Just listened to this song for the 1st time, and it made me cry. It's deeply personal, being that my mom has Alzheimer's, and I'm grieving the loss of the person I used to know. I'm so sad that Glen Campbell had this disease also. I will always carry his beautiful music in my ❤...Thank you for the music & memories!
You may not miss us or your family...but we surely miss you, Glen. Thank you for all the music, laughter and ...just everything you gave....You were a gem
Have moved hours from my home to live with mamma as Im her only son and child. We are early in this long journey. Trying to realize the blessings and gifts daily when darkness and pain wish to reside within me. This is an awesome video even though it invokes tears. God bless all of you loving care givers.
What a heartbreaking song. My 80 year old Brother died June 2021 from complications of Alzheimer’s. It hurts to think what his wife went through. Caring for him at home with help. And he died at home. Yes, it’s a heartbreaking song, but it brings me closer to my Brother.
My dad raised me listening to Glen Campbell. My dad will never know how much I admired him growing up. While he is still living I mourn for his love. He does not have this horrible disease but the words are true about him. He doesn't miss me in his life. He doesn't respond to the pain that he has caused me. I live across town and he doesn't miss me when I am here waiting on his love. He has no idea what I am going through.. Selfishly he does not miss me.. To those that have to go through this horrible disease with a family member please forgive me for shining a light on my pain...May God grant you the strength to get through this and may you know that they loved you until their memory took them away.. Take comfort in knowing that... You are loved, rejoice...
Glenn Campbell was a great singer, actor and performer and will be missed by all his fans who loved him and will forever remembered. Thank you for leaving us your great songs to enjoy forever along with the great memories of you performing and in the movie True Grit. RIP
The best song for anyone going through the end of life choice. You need to let them fly to their next life. Heartbreaking but true. My husband last words tome were I'm not going to miss you but I am so lucky you loved me
Beautiful words and man singing this song!!! This disease is so awful for anyone to experience, Strips you of your identity of yourself and your surroundings. I'm not giving up on hope to find a cure but please hurry. My mother has this dreaded disease and I am upset and terrified that one day I will get this.. Watching my mother go through this has been emotionally for me and angry!!!!!! I try to put on a act for her but deep inside its killing me..... Please Help Find A Cure!!!!!!
I cared for both my mom and dad who had this terrible, terrible disease. 24/7/365 for six years. Dad went quickly while mom lingered. But both had it at the same time. To this day (12 years after mom died) this is all I can say about it. All of the evil that is this disease and everything that comes with it will be with me forever. I had to be there for them. Period. Here's a story from the 60s that I posted on another channel that had reviewed the song _Galveston._ I grew up listening to the labors of The Wrecking Crew. And I can remember when Glen Campbell broke out in his solo career. Try to imagine that back then there was the British invasion going on. Every week there seemed to be something new, something moving goal posts. Too, that most of us only heard this stuff on pocket transistor radios, crappy tabletop and alarm clock radios and car radios that were barely better but diminished by all of the sounds of driving. So, when Glen went off on his solo career, to me at least, it was just OK. One day in 1967 my oldest brother came back to the states for a visit. He is a captain merchant seaman. He gave dad a 2 track sound-on-sound stereo reel to reel tape machine. My dad used to play guitar. I remember, as a little shaver, him singing "You Are My Sunshine" to me while I sat on his knee. Man, did I soak up those lyrics that my dad sang just for me. Anyways, my dad disappeared that night. No one knew where he was. About an hour later he shows up with all this stuff. Two 8 inch cabinet speakers, two microphones, headphones, an empty reel and two reel to reel prerecorded albums. One of Glen Campbell's 'By The Time I Get To Phoenix' and the other Herb Alpert an the Tijuana Brass' 'A Taste Of Honey.' He put it all together and cued up Campbell. Oh... My... god. The first song being 'By The Time I Get To Phoenix.' The first thing that blew my mind was the true dead sound. Sound that emanated from nothingness. No clicks, pops, hiss, fading in and out, channel bleed over, hum or some jerk jokey talking over the song. Nothing. Just glorious dead sound that really isn't sound. It must have been the same feeling that guy got when he discovered the number "zero." Discovering that to which all things come after. That, to which, will change the world. Then, the dynamics of the sound itself. It is a true thrill to hear studio recorded stereo in analog on a reel to reel analog stereo for the first time. And that song was presented as intended. Which, all things considered, was the best song I ever heard. Oh, and when I put on the headphones IT WAS EVEN BETTER! Of course, it ruined my appreciation for all music except for what was on those two tapes. I often thought how different those popular songs, and some I didn't like, that were murdered on AM radio and the junk sold to us so we could listen, would sound on reel to reel. I knew how much I was missing and there was nothing I could do about it. Naturally I told my friends how great Glen Campbell's new album was. They all thought I was square and crazy. And I told them how great 'A Taste Of Honey' was. From then on, I think they let me hang out with them out of pity - for old times sake. But I knew better... I became a musician because of Glen Campbell and 'You Are My Sunshine.' Oh, how I miss my dad. 'Everything I own' By Bread. So, there's a story that can be added to Glen Campbell's legacy. As insignificant it is to everyone. Except, of course, to me. Thanks, Mr. Campbell.
I recorded the documentary called I'll be me a while ago.. because i love Glen Campbell...its taken me a while to watch it because I looked after my mom for 7 yrs with alzheimer's.. you see the individual..but you know its not them inside..can they hear you when you tell them you love them and that it'll be om ? we don't know what goes on in their head...it was very hard..but I'd do it in a heartbeat so to see this great man slowly disintegrate before your eyes was heartbreaking..but how wonderful was it when he was on stage and he belted out those songs with that golden voice of his and when he played duelling banjo's with his daughter Ashley.. so sad he's gone..but he is free from this awful disease now and serenading the good Lord.. but god look at the wonderful songs he leaves us with..We're gonna miss YOU... how to pick a favourite..sooo many to choose from.. i love By the time I get to Phoenix because of the emotions of his voice..but ive gotta go with Wichita Lineman because it was my wonderful dads favourite.. so every time I hear it I think of him and shed a tear as i am doing now ..🇬🇧🙏😥💞😍💔
I copied this song to my daughter, as one of the saddest ever. She asked why, and I explained. And she said, That's Brutal. Life can be that way. But Glen Campbell helps us with it, even as he approaches it. Hero!
This absolutely breaks my heart. Watching Tim Mcgraw sing it last night did me in. What a true talent and what a shame. God bless him and his family during this awful time.
I watched the CNN.s special on Glen Campbell and was inspired and brought to tears. Never being much of a fan I realized that his music actually was a soundtrack of my life. memories of my entire life. The love and grace in which he and his family deal with the horror that is altzheimer's is so loving and compasionate. As we baby boomers age, it is a disease that will affect many of us.My Father in Law suffered from Altzheimers and I believe my husband was showing early onset symptoms. For those that are dealing with it in their families, please watch this for strength and comfort.
I got meet his daughter the other night, Ashley Campbell. She looks so much like he did.. and her voice is amazing.. sings so beautiful just like her dad did. He was definitely, one of the GREATEST of all!
What kind of heartless pos could downvote this? I can only assume they do not understand the context. If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye, you're made of stone.
I can't read The Wrecking Crew guys. Mr. Campbell played with these guys in dozens or hundreds of recordings. I'm not certain I could complete the session if it were me. I suspect there's a lot of heartbreak going on here.
My father Joe Osborn told me it was a happy reunion and everyone was very positive. I think they held on to that energy to get through the session. He said it hit him hard on the flight home that he would likely not see those dear friends again, and he didn't. Dad left this world on December 14, 2018. Hal Blaine left three months later, March 12, 2019. Don Randi is still with us, as far as I know.
It took my father about 8 years to die from early onset dementia which hit him around age 60. It's the most tragic, horrible, agonizing way to see someone go. You lose them in fits and starts and before you know it the person you knew and loved and who raised you is gone. And they don't even know the pain it's causing everyone around them. I heard this song today for the first time and it brought it all back. Ooof...
I am now going through this with my husband. I hope and pray we don't get to this end. I won't be able to bear it, but this song, oh this song, makes me cry like a baby. thank you for sharing.
The song is heartbreaking enough by itself, but to find out after hearing it multiple times that it was the Wrecking Crew that backed him on it is just devastating and joyous all at the same time. Even in the end, Glenn managed to surround himself with the best of the best musicians available and God willing, knew he had left his mark on the world. RIP Glenn. You might not miss us, but boy, we sure miss the hell outta you.
The very essence of sadness in this wonderful heart felt song, Thank you Glen. I have loved you and your music since my mama bought your album Galveston. Not to bad for an old boy from Arkansas. Rest in Piece in the arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ old friend, ..............You gave us your all.
To all those who have a loved one with dementia or has passed from this. Here is an Irish Blessing to share. May you see God’s light on the path ahead when the road you walk is dark. May you always hear even in your hour of sorrow, the gentle singing of the lark. When times are hard may hardness never turn your heart to stone. May you always remember when the shadows fall- You do not walk alone.
