The song featured in this video is Sweetness by Canada’s own Jory Nash. Look for it on his website https://www.jorynash.com and while you’re there check out some of his other music. His latest album is on iTunes now and coming from a fan (and admittedly one of his closest friends) you really need to give it a listen. Beautiful, stirring, guitar and piano based folk music with an edge, that only the Great White North can give you.
As for the video itself, in it I visit Corey Haim’s junior high school and his grave at Pardes Shalom Cemetery in Maple, Ontario. I give a little bit of background on Corey’s life and what he meant to me personally, and finally get to show off a bit of my hometown, Toronto. Some people have asked why I placed a stone on his grave and I gave an answer in the comments that I shall repost here:
Placing stones on the headstone or directly on the grave is a Jewish custom that has been around for centuries. One explanation for placing stones on the grave is to ensure that souls remain where they belong, that they remain in Gods hands. Another is that as person after person puts stones on a grave, it builds somewhat of a community or fortress, protecting the dead. And let’s not forget another easy explanation : flowers eventually die. Stones and rocks remain forever. Where Corey is buried is a traditional Jewish cemetery so almost every grave had rocks on them. Usually when I visit a grave of a person of any denominations I leave a stone behind . There was indeed a somber vibe at his gravesite as it’s far in the very back. I hope all of Corey’s fans like this video and that they are able to maybe pay their own respects through it . Thanks for watching everyone ✌🏿✌🏽
