  Upon finishing remaking The Society of The Strange I moved on to remaking this one. Like that one I was and remain satisfied with what I did 17 years ago. However like with Society of The Strange I wanted to remake these just to get myself reacquainted with AMV making again but also to revamp these AMVs. I made these AMVs when DVDs were king. How blurays and 4K blurays are the main things now for physical media.
  
  Remaking this AMV was much easier than my strange AMV as AMV came out more or less how I wanted it then, all I brought to it this time was better picture quality and to tighten up everything that I felt needed to be tightened up.
  
  Like with my I'm Still Here remake I put my own personal feelings into it or at least that is what is behind it the same way it was 17 years ago. 17 years ago I made this AMV in dedication to family I had lost over that past year but also because I was sensing a turning of the page in my life at that time. By the time I made this AMV in 2005 I was already getting ready to move away from my hometown and to set out to make something of my life. I was still hoping to make AMVs but I in a way knew they would be fewer and far between and wanted this one to sort of be a send off if I don't though was not my last AMV. It was the last one I put into conventions so in a way it was my last "public" one. Regardless I knew I had to reproach this one if I was coming back. It all just seems fitting as the AMV at least to me is about D moving in and out of adventures on his only lonely road of life (faith), meet people but always moving to the next town and adventure. Reproaching this AMV felt like me rolling up again to a new adventure using this AMV to do it. It is what it is.
  
  I hope to post the remake at some point in the future. I am pretty proud of it.

  This AMV was hard yet easy to make in another way entirely.
  
  In 2004 I lost a good friend as well as losing the only grandfather I had left in this world plus an Uncle I was close to. It left me feeling very depressed for a long time. I wanted to make an AMV that would be good enough to dedicate to them. The Drinking Problem, Sacrifice Of Ryu Soma, and Beyond The Sky I felt they weren't right for it. So creators block happened so I stopped for awhile, I had a the only friend I had left stay with me for the first 4 months which made things feel better. However when he moved away from here getting as much sick the city we lived in as I am, it made me realize how truly lonely I was and I was depressed again. I have alot of vampire footage that I just finished working through pre production with on my new computer. I was going to do the sequel to Vampires. However I just felt too depressed to work on it, so I sat down wallowing my my loneliness listening to soft songs when "Lonely Road Of Faith" by Kid Rock came on. Thats when an idea popped in there, I opened Adobe and just went with it. In one night I had the video half done, the next day I got around 80% done. Then for the rest of the week I added in many things that i felt would be hard to place, added a few simple special effects as well. I made the AMV as if I was making it about myself and I guess in many ways it is. Take it anyway you want
  
  I am very proud of this video, its alot like putting my "Against The Wind" and "I'm Still Here" video together. It seems the best videos I do are the ones I put myself in more than anything else or I just had fun. Now after making the video I feel more better about myself, its only after making these comments that I found the perfect title.
  
  So I dedicate "The Lonely Road Of Life" to my Grandfather Gordon Bussey, Uncle Bill Brinston, and a good friend Tyler Littler.
