David….we definitely feel that part of your heart that you left us!! This video was just a beautiful portrayal
of “hurt and hope”! Hurt comes in all shapes and sizes…and hope is there for whatever size you are dealing with. This video brought with it many tears….but tears of faith and hope. Seeing David sing with such emotion was highlighted so well. Bravo David…..and everyone involved with this heartfelt video!! I absolutely loved it and will be going back again and again. It made me feel so good!!

Sorry….I had to cut my previous comment short as my hubby came in and wanted to see David’s video. He loved it too!
I just wanted to say also that I have been around many many years…65 years young. I have never heard a more beautiful voice, experienced the creativity of a more talented artist, or felt a more loving, caring heart …in all of those years. David is truly gifted, and has blessed our world …with his beautiful voice and heart…once again! There is just no one like him!!!
Thank You David….for absolutely everything! Your example does not go unnoticed! You are a force for change!!! Keep on touching hearts wherever you go! Bless you always!

David’s new album is out of this world. I love, love, love it. This
morning I saw the new video and there are no words to express my
feelings about this video…..all I can say is it is beyond words!!!
David’s voice and video suit each other. I cannot wait for the video
to come out. This video expresses so much of life. It makes you
realize that everyone in this world “hurts”, but that happiness is
also there!! Thanks to everyone that contributed to the making of this
video. Sincerely, Madeline

Violet, Jed posted a couple of them on twitter and the rest on his Instagram page. I often find directors and photographers use Instagram (Matt Clayton has some really cool images there!), so I checked it on a whim.

Love the music video. Kudos to the whole team who created this touching video of ‘EVERYBODY HURTS”. David’s voice and the orchestra are “SUPERB”. Seeing David recording this song is really amazing. We can feel the emotions that David put through in this song. Big THANK YOU David for the hard work you did by leaving us with this beautiful gift before you go to your mission. It’s very much appreciated.

I knew that I would immediately get teary-eyed when seeing this and I did…there are times like this when mere words just don’t seem to be enough, and, for me, this is one of them…beautiful, yes, touching, thought-provoking all seem to be appropriate, and, when all is said and done, this is David at his finest – the David whose music we love so much…and David, the human being we treasure because of the person he is…he has been such an incredible gift to us all…I will be forever grateful for this gift and I thank God for sending him our way every day – we are the lucky ones!! And, I say – thank you, David for all that you do and for simply being you!!
