Description

The Last Farewell. A fantastic poem... which ended up on a fantastic journey. It came from the streets of Birmingham.. and ended up being a best selling song of all times..on a world wide level. The inspiration for my last image, was from a Roger Whittaker song. And so is this one. I admire this poem a lot.. because it comes from street level. It has several strong elements...Beauty, tragedy, seperation, war, death, danger, pain, sadness...And a lot of other elements.. This is an old beautiful live version of it: Click here to hear the song An alternative version in case of country restrictions: Click here to hear the song A watchmaker and Silversmith from Birmingham, UK.. wrote this fantastic poem. He was listening to a radio show... with Roger Witthaker. Common people were encouraged by Roger, to send in their lyrics and poems. So the silversmith did that... And his little sensitive and beautiful poem... became a world wide success. It kinda has the same story as Susan Boyle from "Britains got talent" is about to get... if anyone watched that lately. I could not resist trying to depict the feelings, of which that silversmith from Brimingham must have had, when he wrote "The Last Farewell". This is what came out of it.

Thank you for a wonderful trip down memory lane! Yes, I remember this song - AND the TV appearance. I believe that might have been the last public performance by the incomparable Chet Atkins. Great tunes and your image has absolutely 100% captured the essence of the song. Bravo Lars, and thanks again for the reminisces!

I think that strong emotions on faces must be very difficult to achieve in Daz and Poser as they are not too often seen. You have gotten the look of sorrow on these faces so perfectly and so wonderfully. A gorgeous rendering of the poem and song.
