In the misty dawn the creature waits

Adorned, in hope of Another

The One who will come to end the alone,

 And live in love forever.

The creature waits...

Am I crazy?

A music video for the awesome 'I Have No Cats' song.

Update (11.6.11): the second costume in this video was my costume for Halloween this year. I should have tried something else... it wasn't very practical when I wanted to drink or eat something...

6.27.11

I wanted to apologize for not being able to make re-recs albums for the next few weeks (I'm on the move). I tried to make it up to all my readers by making this video (last week) with some records I would have re-recommended:

- "I Have No Cats": songs and collaboration

- the "hitRECord Mugshots" collaboration (and records)

- Call-In Song Requests: there are fantastic contributions!

- K-REC Stingers and the hitRECord 'Radio'

I also wanted to talk about the lip-syncing technique: I think it's not used enough for music videos in general and I would like to see how you would use it...

ok my example/ video is not the best one, but it really was just for fun. I couldn't shoot with some friends so I had to do it myself (and I'm not an actress as you can see hahaha) but for once, I wanted to show you what I had in mind and not write some suggestions or ideas for a video remix...

I didn't have much time for the editing but I will re-work on it when I'll be back. So, it's a work in progress as I'm still not completely satisfied with it.

Thanks again to tonguecutsparrow for the song and lyrics. I wouldn't have been able to make this video without the lyrics! ;)

I found this great loop by GwenInterrupted from a Forrest Knauff song...I wanted to try again with the words I wrote.

Again, harmonies aren't quite right...does someone want to play around with this?

 In a world of diamond giants

And things, well I don't care to know or hear

I walked across the greying waters

And you poured Southern dust in my ears

To have you pour Southern dust in my ears

I sat on the brink of the night time

And up rose the sound of your strings

You plucked them like plums and they fell in my hand

I took a bite of your dreams

I took a bite of your dreams

So take me to Carolina,

Let me look inside of your mind

Show me the sunsets, the four walls of your bedroom

And in the tuning and chords 

And in the tuning and chords let me hide

You said you were sad in your twenties

And the tears turned into musical chords

But your tears, well they've made me so happy

And in your sadness my spirit has soared

And in your sadness my spirit has soared

You sat all alone on the hard wooden floor

And the darkness leaned in for a peek

And I felt my lungs tighten like a flying car window

As you poured Southern dust in my ears 

As you poured Southern dust in my ears

So take me to Carolina,

Let me look inside of your mind

Show me the sunsets, the four walls of your bedroom

And in the tuning and chords 

And in the tuning and chords let me hide

So take me to Carolina,

Let me look inside of your mind, your mind,

Show me the sunsets, the four walls of your bedroom

And in the tuning and chords 

And in the tuning and chords 

And in the tuning and chords let me hide.

Let me hide

Let me hide.

welcom to the land of dreams, now close your eyes and follow me !!

“Inspiration and creativity pour out of my head until I am left empty and alone, sitting in a puddle of my own potential.”

Do do do

I'm walking around

and I'm upside down

so it's not a frown

it's a smile in disguise

open up your eyes a woah

do do do you

remember when

we learned how to sin

when we first began to realize

we had our own eyes a woah

sometimes these words make since better in my head

so when they leave my lips and scatter in the air

I hope you catch my drift when I say

the words that get stuck deep inside

my hippocampus wrinkle lines

I have the worst time getting them all out

do do do do

I'm thinking about

all the early years

when my salty tears

had sting against my cheeks

but now they just leak a woah

due due due due

the bills are there

in my swivel

and I try to keep my hair

from falling out

like a water spout a woah

sometimes these words make since better in my head

so when they leave my lips and scatter in the air

I hope you catch my drift when I say

the words that get stuck deep inside

my hippocampus wrinkle lines

I have the worst time getting them all out

H-Jin Drew this amazing picture which matched a tiny story I'd had bouncing around for a while so I quickly jotted it down on top. Want to tidy the text up if I get time.
