Natalee Holloway Video

Before this all started I was playing around with sound and video editing a bit ... not sure how long this is going to stay here for several reasons.

[Lurker]

Nice work Dan, very touching.

Dan; ;
That's a very well done video.
In the light of the circumstances, gives a different meaning to the lyrics.

[Susan P.]

Kudos to you, Dan! That was an excellent tribute to Natalee and all of those who have worked so hard, both physically and spiritually on bringing Natalee home.

[DeltaRio]

I certainly can't see why you would need to take that one down!!! JOB WELL DONE!!! Share it for all to see!

Anyone know why NH chose those lyrics? Too strange to be a coincidence.

[NewYawkgirl]

certainly made me cry...........

[sweet_angel]

That was absolutely beautiful, that definately broke my heart, I shed every tear for Natalee.
Thank you Dan for sharing this video with us, very, very nice work.

[R Nelson]

Hopefully, one day you'll replace Freebird with Sweet Home Alabama.....

[AJjeana]

Great job Dan! That was very touching. I hope it stays for all to see. Natalee we pray for you.

[Just Somebody's Grandma]

======================================
I had heard she signed her yearbook or something "Freebird" and some raised questions if maybe her disappearing was planned. I think people read too much into things. My son is in Natalee's age group and I have always loved and related to Freebird and understand it well. I never disappeared. Nice job on the video Dan.

I am still at a loss for words.
This is a video to look at more than once.
In combination with the lyrics it is just fantastic.
Very touching and inspirational.
THUMBS UP!
Great work Dan.

[dori]

Dan, it can be seen that you put a lot of work into this piece. It is truly a gift to be able to put into words, music and selected photographs the beauty that is Natalee and her family. Thank you.

[Karen]

Moved me to tears.

Beautiful tribute to a beautiful young girl...

[Concerned]

The video is compelling. it captures our hearts and minds. It causes me to believe that we must forge forward to find Natalee in the name of truth and justice; it's our way. Well done!

[(((CIndyLouWho)))the other Cindy]

Help...Dan or anyone...

When I clicked on this link I have a left side bar come up (WindowsMedia.com). It has a very small screen at the bottom of this area where the video plays. Is there a way to see a larger view of it? Sorry I am sooo not computer savvy.
I could not read what it said at the beginning and end...I assumed it was the lyrics.

Thanks,
Cindy

[faithfulreader]

Dan, from all the posts here, it seems that this is a very moving video to see. I'm going to try and get it to play on my computer, right now it doesnt load. I saved it in case you take it off.

Thanks for all hard work.

[JustMe]

Leave it up, Dan.

I don't like yellow ribbons or candle light prayer gatherings at all. But that tore out my heart.

Dan, that was beautiful and so very moving.

I wish they could run that video over and over and over in front of Joran - 24/7. Even if he never talks, I wish he could have those images permanently ingrained in his soul, so that he is NEVER without them. As I take my daughter off to college this week, I will hold on a little longer at the steps of her dorm, I will listen more intently to the sound of her voice, and I will tell her a few more times how much I love her. I'll remember Beth and Natalee, because they will never have those moments again. God Bless Natalee's family and friends.

[Mrs.Doobieakasleuth]

Dan, remarkable job...remarkably well done. It was as if that song was written precisely for Natalee at this time. I loved the bird flying alone, above the other birds. You did a good job. Your video has said it better than anything I have seen so far. The southern rocknroll anthem, for the southern sweetheart of America.

Thank you.

[BeachBaby]

Dan,

That was a beautiful tribute to Natalee and her family. I definitely think you should leave it up. I don't think I'll ever hear that song the same way again.

[birmingham dog]

I understand why it wont be up for long. Where did you get those pictures/ Are those Your pictures?

[Kelly3]

My heart feels heavy. A beautiful girl! Everyday I wonder if this will be the day Natalee will come home. Thank you Dan for a beautiful video and bring back some hope.

[TexasGal]

My hat is off to you dear man. Absolutely beautiful piece of work. Thank you.

[owlstorm]

I've been following the case with bated breath, just like everyone else. But this is WAY TOO sappy and it's not going to help anything! I am all about finding Natalee, but this is too sugary and clichied (pardon my spelling if I got that wrong) enough to be nauseating!

[CindyLouWho]

Delta Rio Thank you for your help...

Dan thank you again. Please don't remove this it has given me resolve to stick to following this and talking about it. This case must not "go away" it Beth and Dave need to bring their daughter home.

[MrsJimiHendrix]

dan

thanks can i post that at my blog?

[Joy]

I usually lurk here, love your site, come here at least 5 times a day to check on Natalee, and you always have the most latest news. Anyway, I have never posted, because I am a bit shy, BUT, I just had to say how beautiful that video is!!! I have a daughter who is only 7 now, but in my wildest dreams, I cannot imagine her being "missing." I think I would just literally die!! Anyway, thanks for that video, Maybe if we could get Joran, Deepak, and Kolope to watch it, they may give up some information on where she is, hey, ya never know.

Thanks,
Joy in WV

Birmingham Dog,

Too nice a tribute, huh

You've never shown one bit of concern for Natalee.

[ManWith2Dogs]

AHA! She wanted to be a free bird. Now I get it. She's a runaway. I bet she really feels bad about this fiasco she has caused. However, I hope she is doing well and will contact us all soon.

[frenchymom]

Absolutely beautiful and emotionally touching!
Thank you for your time and efforts...

[seedyrum]

Sad but inspiring foretelling of the future.
People with nothing to hide hide nothing

You will live forever Natalee we will keep you alive in our hearts.

[Casara]

It is almost as if the American psyche has given birth to this video.
As I was watching it, the chills filled my body to the point I could not move.
The mystique of Natalee Holloway has carved out a permanent place in the lands of America and Aruba.
The vibrancy of Natalee's being is well portrayed in Dan's video and in the song, "Freebird". She had worked diligently to create a future in which she could fulfill her true potential. She could feel the "wind beneath her wings", which would lift her the heights she had imagined.
For those who speculate she might be a runaway...Natalee was not "flying" away...she was "flying" to the next step in her education.
For those of us who have felt the essence of Natalee Holloway, we know that she was/is steadfast and true.
Those who stole her innocence and freedom must be brought to justice...this is Natalee's bottom line...this will make her a "freebird".

[MBMom2]

Dan,

That is utterly incredible ... so incredible! I am moved to tears as I watch this. What a fitting tribute for such a beautiful young lady. Please continue to keep Natalee and all the Holloway-Twitty family in prayer! Also remember all the kids on the trip who are going off to college in the next few weeks. This is an especially difficult time for them right now. Again, thanks Dan!

[A Reader]

That was my High School graduation song in 1983.
Every time I hear that song and think of Natalee,
I feel pain and sorrow.
Pain, because of lost dreams.
Broken dreams suck!!
Whoever, wherever, bring her home. Please!!
Natalee's parents need peace.

[MrsJimiHendrix]

MBM2

maybe you could go by the school and take a picture of that yellow ribbon and send it to Dan?

seems the last one was owned by someone else!

[DanFan]

Thank you for a beautiful tribute to a wonderful family connected by their love for this lovely girl.

[k.jeanne]

Wow! Thank you, Dan. Very well done, very moving. I think her family will appreciate it very much.

[dawn]

Absolutely fantastic. I'd love to post it to my blog if you ok it. I have to link it to everyone I know. Thanks for such a great job. Brought tears to my eyes and heaviness to my heart.

[Jane]

Wow, Dan. For heaven's sake, don't take it down. Words can't describe.

[FloridaPatty]

Excellent. I sent support earlier, I feel compelled to do so again.

I love that song, been played wayyyy to many times as a cover song but hey, how appropriate.

Dan...thanks and

you rock \m/

[millie]

Thank you Dan for that moving tribute to Natalee.
It brought tears to my eyes also. Prayers are
the only hope for Beth to receive resolution.

[tricia]

Thank you Dan. It's beautiful and very much appreciated. Thank you for all your efforts with this blog and with informing us daily. You are a special person. {{{{{HUGZ}}}}}}}

[Michael_adj]

Dan,
Sitting on my couch, tears rolling down my eyes. Who says grown men don't cry? Great job.
