Love clashmusic's preface to the music video.
Help me, fans! The video itself does not make any sense to me.
Furthermore, I was shocked at the pyro-ending.
Thoughts, fans? What did I miss here? What do you think about it?

Interview: Glen Campbell’s Wife and Daughter Discuss His Final Album, ‘Adios’
TheBoot.com
By Chuck Armstrong
July 14, 2017 1:00 PM
This new interview with Kim and Ashley Campbell is an in-depth one with revelations about some of the tracks on Glen's new album (we love the backstories!) as well as how 'Adios' evolved from a fun studio project into a finished studio album. Also shared: information about one of the tracks that did not make it on the album, Kim's teasers about what fans could hear in the future (possibly a recording of Glen and Elvis Presley!), Glen and Kim's first date, Ashley's upcoming album, one of Kim's new initiatives for the blog she publishes, and much more.
They are also very frank about Glen's current condition; he is not aware of his new studio album. He wasn't able to understand anything about the last Grammy he received for "I'm Not Gonna Miss You". Due to late-stage Alzheimer's disease, Glen has not been able to process new information for some time now. [Is Alz's a damnable disease or what? -Dee]

You can read the full interview here: http://www.thebluegrasssituation.com/re ... rl-jackson" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;The whole thing ('Adios') just came together, I truly believe, in the way that it was supposed to. Glen Campbell is just the best, and I mean that with all my heart. He's the best singer that I've ever heard and I mean that technically, as well as just beautiful to my ear. His voice always was -- and I realize people can have different things that they like and I'm sure there are people that would argue, "Oh, he's the best" -- but I'm talking not just how pleasing his voice was, but how great he was technically. I tell people to go find me a bad note on YouTube and I'll pay ya for it. - Carl Jackson

Re: Glen Campbell's New DVD/CD Releases: Adiós June 9th
FUN MUSIC CHART FACT!
Last Saturday, when I learned 'Adios' was in the top 40 of Billboard's top 200 albums chart, I realized that Glen is, in a way, now on the top 40 twice!
His 1977 hit song, "Southern Nights", is track #6 on "Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. 2: Awesome Mix Vol. 2 Soundtrack", a compilation album now at No. 37 after peaking at 4 with 8 weeks on the chart.
For Glen Campbell discographers who document this kind of information (which we do here on Glen Campbell Forums), "Southern Nights" on the Guardians soundtrack is a 2003 Capitol Records remastered track.

Re: Glen Campbell's New DVD/CD Releases: Adiós June 9th
Here is a more critical reviews of Adios.
I don't agree with the statement that Glen sounds frail and uncertain throughout. I think Glen sounds great most of the time. I do agree that the production is sometimes a bit too polished.
On the other hand, Allmusic gives Adios 3,5 out of 5 stars.

From: http://www.sfchronicle.com/music/articl ... 236408.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;The singer sounds frail and uncertain throughout, which occasionally makes for some uneasy listening — particularly with the overly polished production. As a farewell, it lacks the gravity of Johnny Cash’s defining work. But that hardly diminishes the emotional punch of hearing one of the rock era’s defining voices fade away.

From: http://www.allmusic.com/album/adi" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;ós-mw0003042339Adiós ultimately seems more like a coda than a grand farewell, with the album displaying a suitable modesty that suits the somewhat reduced circumstances of the artist. But it's also a potent reminder of Glen Campbell's talent, style, and musical legacy, and this album is the recorded curtain call he truly deserves.
