Red Dead Redemption 2 is a superb and beautiful game, and we wanted to get closer to the action… so we put ourselves in it!! All footage (other than us) is captured in-game in our first foray into virtual production.
We had an idea of how we wanted to film a video for Wayfaring Stranger a while back, and this seemed like a perfect way to capture it.

When my children are born I prepare by picking out a song and learning it to sing to them as a lullaby. My son Benjamin was born in January. His mama had some problems with bleeding so he spent the first two hours with me. This was the first song I sang to him that day. It was the song I sang to him as he took his last breath in May. I don’t know what led me to pick this song for him, other than it was beautiful and sad and bittersweet, just like my memories of him now. But you led me to this song, and now it’s his song. From the bottom of my heart: thank you.

*LYRICS - Wayfaring Stranger - The Longest Johns (Jack White)* I am a poor wayfaring stranger, traveling through this world of woe. There is no sickness, toil or danger in that fair land to which I go… I'm goin' home to see my mother, I'm goin' home, no more to roam. I'm just goin' over Jordan, I'm just goin' over home. I know dark clouds will hover on me, I know my path is rough and steep… But golden fields lie out before me, where weary eyes no more shall weep… I'm goin' home to see my father, I'm goin' home, no more to roam. I'm just goin' over Jordan, I'm just goin' over home. I'll soon be free from every trial… This form shall rest beneath the sun. I'll drop the cross of self-denial, and enter in that home with God… I'm goin' home to meet my savior, I'm goin' home, no more to roam. I'm just goin' over Jordan, I'm just goin' over home. I'm goin' home to meet my savior, I'm goin' home, no more to roam. I'm just goin' over Jordan, I'm just goin' over home.

That is gorgeously done! Odd how the lyrics are different in different versions. I did a 4-part version in choir in high school with lyrics from 1923, I think- published by a women's religious gathering. I admit, I missed the part at the end that always gave me chills: I'm going home to meet my Savior. He said He'd meet me when I come...

Scottish Presbyterians who were often shot at and the victims of arson, for being conductors on the Underground Railroad: Rev.
