- Опубликовано: 13 июн 2012
- "A Better Place" is the second video from Glen Campbell's critically acclaimed album "Ghost On The Canvas." The video features a special guest appearance from Josh Homme (Queens Of The Stone Age, Kyuss, Them Crooked Vultures), and is directed by Kii Arens and Jason Trucco.
The legendary singer, guitarist, and television star, Glen Campbell was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease last year. Following more than 20 Top 40 hits and selling 50 million records worldwide, Campbell this year received a Lifetime Achievement GRAMMY Award (his 8th GRAMMY to date). He is currently midway through his "The Goodbye Tour" to say a fond thank you to his legions of loyal fans. Campbell's final studio album "Ghost On The Canvas" is out now on Surfdog Records. The album represents a poignant look back at his life and career with contributions by the artists he continues to inspire.
This farewell video features Campbell looking back at his life and career. He also sends a personal message to his wife, Kimberley, a former Radio City Music Hall dancer that the Rhinestone Cowboy met on a blind date in 1981. "My love goes out to Kim, my amazing grace. You've been by my side through these changing times, and it means the world to me."

glad i lived in his time, R.I.P. you were the best.
Amen indeed friend
Our Heavenly Father and his Son Jesus Christ Yeshua has a really good Band!
The music must be really awesome!
The Best
This is the 1st time ive cried over anyone famous passing away....nobody's music has touched me the way Glen's did...especially when i was younger growing up.
Thank you Glen for your amazing music and memories.
You are now in a "Better Place" my friend...rest in heaven rhinestone cowboy.....
Same here! Sure do miss him.
He was a great musician❤️
I feel the same🌹❤️
I feel the same way. I was just barely four years old when I got my first record for Christmas. I loved Glen's voice so much. He is surely missed.
One of a kind! Top of the line musician!
The only thing wrong with this beautiful song is that it is much too short. I could have gone on listening for several more minutes. It is so comforting.
I thought it seems to finish really quick too
2024🎉 been listening to
Glen Campbell since 1969🌹🎸
Same here. ❤
Glen Campbell has a unique voice with a hint of a cry in it, boyishly good looking face and a big country smile. As with all greats, there will never be another like him.
💯
R.I.P., to a true superstar musician....this is as if he was saying "farewell" to his loved ones and fans with this song. I couldn't hold back my tears just hearing this and seeing the photos of him as I remembered him in my own youth. Such a wonderfully full life and I am certain that Glen in his lucid moments looked back and thanked the good Lord for everything. We all thank you too, Glen. May you always be Gentle on our minds and in our hearts. Peace my friend.
Perfectly said.
So we'll said
Amen. We'll see you again, Glen. Thanks for the beautiful memories and for your beautiful spirit.
✨️♥️✨️
He absolutely was. He knew what his fate was to be. So beautiful
My father passed from Alzheimer's, and we included A Better Place in the songs played at his visitation. I grew up listening to Glen Campbell, watching his tv show and just enjoying his music. My parents loved him, and I did, too.
Hello 👋 Cindy. How are you doing? Hope you’re fine. I am Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
You have never failed Glen.
Please agree with someone
Dear Glen, hope you able to read/hear this. Not sure the year but my Dad was in NY on business from the UK, possibly the 60's and first saw you in Macys , singing and promoting your LP "Gentle on my Mind". Well dad bought the LP and you signed it to me, Laurian. I treasure it and still have it along with one you did with Bobby Gentry. Glen we have all done bad things and have regrets, thats life. One thing I hope and pray for is that we meet on that golden shore with the Lord and you can play again to us saints and Him who reigns - can't wait. To be Born Again and saved for all eternity we must believe in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of all our sins. THAT is the gospel we preach. Love you Glen and your music, see you one day. Maranatha!
Glen Campbell, a great singer , song writer, actor and a man loved by his l wife and children, many fans , friends and his sisters,brothers and relatives. R.I.P. singing in heaven. Amen
My Late Grandson was only 13 when the Lord called him home, he liked your music, He could play the French Horn, I remember the Good-Time-Hour like it was yesterday. I've Loved Galveston because I could relateThank You for all the fine music
brad Kennett God bless. 💓
God bless you sir.x
Dear Brad ..... "The seed in your heart shall blossom ..."
What an amazing emotional song, Alzheimer's is a cruel disease and it's incredible that this beautiful man has put his experience into such a gem of a song. I pray for him and all who have this disease as peaceful and calm a journey as the Gods grant
Thankyou for your prayers x
You are in "A Better Place" now, Glen. Thanks for sharing your talents with us for so many years. There will be a great concert in Heaven tonight! RIP-you were the BEST!
Glen is now in such a better place. RIP Glen. The rest of us will have to wait and see.
what a wonderful man. the world is a bit better place because he was in it.
That is true! So many good memories. “Made my world a better place !”
Thank you for the music Mr Campbell - it has been a pleasure listening to you.
My grandfather 93 has alt. forgets us however he knows salvation his favorite hymns and sings them... talks about Jesus. He doesn't know the great and wonderful things his has done in his life. From top torrent gunner in World War 2 to owning his own company built airports bridges building that people still use today. That is the greatest generation I wish I could have been a fraction of what that man was and still is.
I wish I had gotten to know my grandfathers better... both of them. One died when I was 4 and the other died when I was, like, 11. I have only vague memories of both of them. I really wish I would've gotten to talk to them as an adult. Ask them about their hopes, fears, dreams, disappointments, proudest moments, etc... anyway, best of luck, anthony.
;)
gayfuckoffyoutub1000 I believe there is a meeting place
My mom has rapid onset dementia and the words to this song moved me as no other.
Hello 👋 Mary. How are you doing? Hope you’re fine. I am Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
That guy is absolutely gifted. God bless you, Glen. See you there...
same here
Glen is right up there with Elvis. Both Great singers, & entertainers..
Glen Campbell was....IS....the most amazing talent...the documentary brought tears to my eyes....
Me 2 I lost my dad to Alzheimer’s
I grew up listening to and watching Glen Campbell as a boy on a ranch in Idaho. I always loved, "Try alittle kindness". My family has dealt with it's share of Alzhiemers, so my heart is out to the Campbell Family. Like Steve Adams, I spent a few years in radio and had the pleasure of playing Glen Campbells music. I now fly airplanes for a living and I can still apply this wonderful music to my life.
Thank you, Glen Campbell for all the inspiration, my heart is with you...
The new guard paying his respect to a maestro... Nice 1, Josh. 👍 RIP Mr. Campbell.
I'm shocked - anyone listening in 2019? This is prettier than anything else out this year, by a Wichita mile!
2022 and still listening
@@mayasherif me too , 2022, it’s beautiful
For sure it was!
Its one of the only songs i heard my nan singing. We buried her today 😢
One of his last songs that he played in his final concerts. One of the greatest from the Lineman.
What a man, thanking us for making his world a better place. How humble. It really is the other way around. Thank you so much Glen.
Glen Campbell left yesterday. May peace be with him.
i miss you Glenn.
i was diagnosed March 12 2014. this makes me number 9 in my blood related families. paternal and maternal.
see you on the other side.
Ayleene, I'll keep you in my thoughts. My Nana passed yesterday after a long battle with both Parkinsons and alzheimers. Although it's an unbearably horrible disease, please know that you will always be you no matter what and those who love you will forever be there at your side.
Thank you ashmoonz. I am sorry about your Nana. I know it hurts. My prayers are with you.
@@melodyayleenegregoryluse661 Hello 👋 Melody. How are you doing? Hope you’re fine. I am Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Man that was touching. Always liked Glenn Campbell.
beautiful 😔...
"A Better Place"
I've tried and I have failed, Lord
I've won and I have lost
I've lived and I have loved, Lord
Sometimes at such a cost
One thing I know
The 🌎world's been good to me
A better place
Awaits you'll see
Some days I'm so confused, Lord
My past gets in my way
I need the ones I love, Lord
More and more each day
One thing I know
The world's been good to me
A better place
Awaits you'll see
Ooh, a better place
...a better place awaits you'll see
🌞✝️🕊️
People like Glen Campbell are what make me proud to be a Campbell and proud of my heritage ! Ne Obliviscaris!
My heart goes out to Glen what a class act. You're appreciated and loved. Thank you Sir.
Thank GOD I got a better place to go!!! Hallelujah Praise GOD
Good Bye Glen... Thanks for so many memories.. I do hope to catch a show in Heaven.. I'm sure you'll be headlining..
That will be awhile though.. I can wait. I got to warn ya though.. my Mother (RIP) is gonna want an autograph.. She played "Gentle On My Mind" till the LP fell apart... God Speed Glen Campbell.
What a beautiful "swan song" to a wonderful singing career. You are one of the greats Glen, and thank you for this beautiful album!
Glen, your music alone makes the world a better place.
Such a great talent. Makes you cry and think of all your lost ones.
I totally adore this Song,it reminds me of my dad,whom we lost in 2017 with Alzheimer's and vascular dementia,I love and miss you so much dad,R.I.P DAD until we meet again Xxx
Mannn, what can I say. Your voice has not changes and it is still hauntingly beautiful. All these years , you have entertained us ,Wichita Linesman, Galveston, MacArthurs Park, Rhinestone Cowboy and the list goes on. You are one of the best, if not the best entertainers ie your voice, songs, ability to play so many musical instruments and jokes :) God Bless you Glen Campbell now and forever.
I'm English and was not a real fan of country music but came across this song from a show called 'Derek', then I searched it and saw Mr. Campbell has Alzheimers and this is so sad, wonderful song and I wish Glen everything having to cope with this terrible condition, bless you mate.
derek all the way, thats how i got here, such a good song. :)
me too, still crying
look for some of his other works - U may enjoy as well
RIP Ivor
I didn't know this song, but after hearing it in that moving episode of "Derek," I think it's one of my new favourites.
Thank you Glen, and thank you to those of you who are helping him and keeping his memory dignified. A fellow musician.
he died this week but will be remembered with many smiles
Absolutely one of the best ever, very gifted man. His songs bring back great memories, True Grit is one of my favorite movies he was great with John Wayne. RIP! 😊🙏🇺🇸
Even though Glen wasn’t an actor by trade, he did fine going up against The Duke
I purchased Glen's album "Ghost on the Canvas". Can't stop listening to it. Just love it. So MEANINGFUL and some great guitar music on it also.
GLEN WILL LEAD THE CHOIR IN HEAVEN FOR SURE,,,,HE HAS HAD A REMARKABLE LIFE
my mom heard this for the first time tonite. my sister-in-law played it for her and my dad as he is in his last days. I wish this song was an extended version. it is beautiful and befitting of him since he's a Campbell fan
My dad passed away from Alzheimer's last year and we played this at his funeral. He would of loved yo have heard the song properly but he really is in a better place now
What great man 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This man is amazing, very sad that this is his last tour, but we have the ability to remember all his wonderful music. I will miss him!
When I was much younger, my Mum worked at a Kiosk for a domestic Australian airline. She immediately recognised Glen Campbell when he came to the counter, during an Australian tour, to buy some gum. When Mum told him how much, he pulled a handful of change from his pocket and as we guitarists often do, it contained some guitar picks. Mum said, "my son's learning guitar and he would love one of those", pointing to the pick, and offered to pay for the gum in return for the pick. Glen Campbell smiled and gave her the money for the gum and a couple of guitar picks, which bore his name. When she brought them home I was in awe and used those picks for ages, hoping that I might be half the guitarist that he is. Sadly the picks wore away and I am still not even close to being half the guitarist that Glen Campbell is. However, I am still playing all these years later and I put that down to the generosity of a wonderful man and wonderful musician. Though our bodies give way, the music will live on forever and for one Aussie boy, the memories of how great people never lose sight of where they began. I will play some of Glen's songs this Saturday night at my gig with fond memories. Though I never got to meet you, I feel that I know you. Thank you for being you Glen Campbell
We take a lot of our existence for granted, never knowing what is around the corner. Embrace life and make the most of it while we can. Thoughts go out to Glen's family....
My Dad passed away from Azheimers in late 2010. And my Mom died unexpectedly of a heart attack recently. The passing of 2 icons in my life within about 2 years. But we all saw a Glen Campbell concert at Winstar Casino in June 2010. I cannot describe how much we all enjoyed it. Glen sang this song and I get tears in my eyes whenever I hear it.
One of my best friends ever, Gil Chavez, from since we were 15 years old has become a master Guitar Luthier and Repair/Modification artist. Gil did the beautiful inlay on the guitar that Glenn is playing!!! What a beautiful song too Glenn, I've always admired your guitar playing, being a guitarist myself. God bless you on your journey!!! Anyway, I just wanted to mention Gil's name here!!!

Rest In Peace Glen Campbell. Amoung the greatest Male Country and Pop Crossover artist of our time.
Love this song. The documentary is amazing. Kudos to his family for helping to draw attention to Alzheimer's Disease.
What a wonderful, beautiful song to end a career with. Thank you, Glenn Campbell. You helped create the soundtrack that is my life.
❤This is a beautiful tribute.. I shed tears as I watch it remembering a man who gave so much joy with his music, a truly great artist. One of the all time greatest talents. I think of my own father who had to suffer the same fate. This song is so meaningful to those who have to face this disease. To watch the person you love vanish slowly before your eyes is a heart wrenching experience. I am very thankful he had a family who loved him and stood by his side through it all. Thank you Glen Campbell for sharing your talents with us and for opening the worlds eyes to Alzheimer's Disease by sharing your story. You have run the race and fought the good fight. Now may you rest in peace with our Lord. My prayers go out to the family as they face the days ahead. May they find comfort and peace.❤
Hello Susan
@@davidbryant7403ciao David! 🙋♀️😍😘💘🍀
most underrated musican of my time.
Not really no. Was highly regarded and recognized, but I agree one of the greatest musicians ever
Right up to the end of his career Glen was making great music that contains every ingredient that is missing in today's top 40 hits....a beautiful melody with meaningful lyrics and excellent vocals. This is a better song than anything in mainstream music today. Today's cookie cutter pop and country stars need to take notes from real music like THIS.
So sad. One of the greatest artist ever. Down home but very professional. Singer and Guitar player extraordinaire. One in a million, one of a kind. Love you Glen.
Doug Pacyon
Thanks for teaching Me the importance of life Glen & Your Family. All Us fans are praying for Your Famliy.
Last night I watched his documentary, it broke my heart, crushed my soul for such a beautiful, caring singer, a father, a husband a friend and a GREAT MAN!😢❤
even when the world was cruel to him for his stumbles. He didn't hate the world and run away. he stayed on the front lines and stood his ground like the Christian soldier he was. Thank you Glen I will try to follow your lead. RIP God's speed....
I've tried and I've failed Lord
I've won and I have lost
I've lived and I've loved, Lord
Some times, at such a cost
One thing I know
The world is good to me
A better place awaits you'll see
Some days I'm so confused, Lord
My past gets in my way
I need the ones that I love, Lord
More and more each day
One thing I know
The world is good to me
A better place awaits you'll see
Ooh
A better place

R.I.P Mr. Campbell. Your music helped keep me sane during my youth. You are in a much better place now!
Thank you Glen for giving people a window to the soul of people growing old.We all will age and grow old.Old people understand.
This song was played at my Nan's funeral, she had Alzheimer's.
It fit pretty well.
Nathan Clift Both my parents mate, I asked the nurse back in 2003 what odds for dementia and she said 25/1 and I had both mine with that evil disease, life sucks sometimes I guess.
A Heart breaking song, sung by a man who has lived the life !
One of the Best of Music's Icons... I will truly miss seeing him!!! Glen you are truly loved
All the more poignant, now that the great man has passed......his career was the soundtrack of my childhood......Thanks Glen.

damn Glen, you do it soooo good! you have the magic. farewell my buddy. you are one of the best. my nephew who is 19 is a fine banjo player and i just had the pleasure of playing your music for him. he cant get enough!! Forever gentle on our mind.
Beautiful song. Hearing it in Derek when Ivor is being put to sleep and Derek is sobbing had me crying. I'm glad I found this. :)
We are not here forever.... I remember a lovely time when Glen was alive. RIP 🙏
Beautiful voice
Hello Joyce
what a beautiful song from a very talented singer see it in the show Derek thank you glen and derek
Meet you at the Beautiful River Glen. All Praises to The Most High, unto whom all praise is due. Igziabeher...
I will always love Glenn Campbell ! What a fantastic person and musician he was ! Now, I'm sure that he is playing for God in Heaven ! He definitely made this world a better place.
This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, I miss her smiles, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there is some pain, I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes, I will miss you to the core! but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people. She’s always in our heart.😊
Glen your in my thoughts and my prayers!!! thanks for all the wonderful songs...
Just watched the CNN documentary "Ill Be Me", Outlining Glenn Cambell's Struggles with Alzheimers, It was amazing, better than I expected !
Must see it !
I'm a foxnews guy but I watched it on cnn tonight too and on my gosh I cried... Great film for a great man and a great cause.
***** Right, got emotional also. I somehow over the years missed the fact that he and his family were really wonderful people. Best CNN doc, fore sure. God bless you !
We can't begin to realize how you must feel in your own mind. The confusion and deep fear that goes with this disease. My heart goes out to anyone and their families who deal with the depths of Alzheimer's. I pray that Glen can be at peace in God's hands.
GLEN HAS SAID HE HAS HAD AN AMAZING LIFE....AND HE HAS....
Darin Andersen ...just replayed here in New Zealand.....'a really must watch'....saw him in concert here in 1975...
R I P Glen...a true legend..!
I still would love to hear Glen sing, even in his current condition. He's still Glen cambell. We all are changing as we get older. That's just part of life. We love the person , not the disease. Praying for you Mr. Cambell. Lineman for the county.
We are watching " I'll Be Me" on CNN at this moment........WE LOVE YA GLEN.....GOD Bless you.
Thank You Glen, Simply Wonderful.
To Glen Campbell, what a beautiful farewell tour, one class act, just as you have always been. I lost my mom from this terrible disease. 7 months ago, in the end she didn't even know who I was anymore! All in all, the world has been good to me too! Thank you for all of your years of wonderful entertainment!
Glen you are with the Lord now! We will miss you but your music will live forever!
What a lovely song , What a great performer and what a lovely human being. Thank you Glen after watching your documentary IIL BE ME . You are an inspiration to us all.
great man and a greater singer wishing him all the very best as he passes through a difficult time of his life
thank you for the music Glen.. god bless you
Glen Campbell! No telling how many people (like me) he inspired over the years. Thanks for memories that will last forever!
The live version on Leno is even better, truly. All his live versions of this particular song were much better than the studio. I love you, Glen.
Pure Quality Glen Cheers.
Pure Truth!
This is so good and yet so sad too.
My late wife succumbed to this terrible disease in May of 2018, after battling it her last four years. God allowed us 51 years together and I look with great anticipation in seeing her forever again in that "Better Place." Also known as Heaven. The last song she and I sang together was ironically Wichita Lineman, recorded by Glen...
I keep coming back to Glen's songs and videos over and over. I was barely a teenager when I'd watch him on the Smothers Brothers show, then on his own show, on guest appearances, buying his albums and listening to them till I wore them out. I never had the good fortune of meeting him, but I felt like he was a part of my life, and I cried the day he died. Such a natural talent, he could do it all. I love his words here, "The world's been good to me". It was, and I don't think he took that for granted. He had a good run, and who could ask for more than that?
Never heard this one and very pretty, still as strong and vital bless you dear man.
What amazing voice, from the legend ,so sad, may he rest peace , the best.
A great song about reflection, something a man of Glen's age has the right to do.
Sitting here on the back porch listening and remembering all of the good Glenn Campbell moments. Everything from his Good Time Hour to the Good Bye Tour, makes this old guy cry.
