TCM Remembers Entertainers We Lost in 2013

I caught Turner Classic Movies‘ moving “Remembers” video of some of the entertainers and artists we lost in 2013. While most of us remember the big name losses like Peter O’Toole, what stands out in the video are all of the familiar faces of less-famous stars. I forgot or did not know the names of some of these folks, but I do remember their wonderful work. Seeing so many recognizable folks who passed on reminds us how fragile life is.

The powerful song in the video is “In the Embers” by Sleeping At Last, which is a project of a musician named Ryan O’Neal. The song is from the album Atlas: Light (2013). The lyrics “We live and we die/ Like fireworks; / Our legacies hide/ In the embers” are haunting, as is the music. Have a safe and happy new year.

What is your favorite part of the year ending? Leave your two cents in the comments.

    1. Thanks, I was looking for that song on iTunes and couldn’t remember where I heard it. The best part of a year ending is the hope and excitement that the new year will bring health, happiness, and prosperity for my family and me; but there is a sadness with each year’s passing and those who pass within it.
