Alright, time to start taking VideoSongs more seriously. My next album will, hopefully, have a VideoSong of the recording process of every song. So I wanted to practice the process by recording a cover of a Paul Simon song by way of Peter Mulvey. My Site: http://www.joshwooodward.com/ Download an MP3 of this (free, but not Creative Commons!): http://joshw.org/mp3/JoshWoodward-StrandedInALimousine.mp3 What is a VideoSong, you ask? It's a new medium with two rules: 1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice). 2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds). Let me know what you think, and any video nerds (of which I am not one), tips and criticism are welcome. :)

Violet wants it her way, her way or the highway She'll never stay, she's on her way Violet's going home Well, Violet is a pretty girl - her legs are long and her hair is curled And her smile's been known to make grown men go stupid But if you look below the skin and find out where that lady's been You'll be sure to stay the Hell away from Cupid [chorus] Back in time, when this story began, and Violet found herself a man Who wouldn't try to boss that girl around She got bored of being adored and decided that he was a spineless nerd She kicked that guy right out on the ground [chorus] Billy was a football jock, who really had a massive clock She threw him out ...

Old Man Blanchard took a walk downtown to the edge of the Main Street bridge I sat myself beside him on the shallow muddy ridge I asked him why he comes and goes, and why he never stays He said, son, I've always been here, I have never gone away I saw the black gold in the streets, and I watched it all go bust I saw the Great Depression, I saw fortunes turn to dust The people only see me when I make my presence known But, they only really love me when I stay inside my home Old Man Blanchard, he will run and he will crawl Old Man Blanchard, he will rise and he will fall The silver city's shining but the skies are turning grey Then old Man Blanchard with ...

Adrift at sea, in the searing sunlight Veering forthright, toward nothingness The ceaseless waves, they will rend and shake us They'll bend and break us, until we quit So lay me down, and let me fall apart We're lost at sea, without a chart Wake me, if we should crash ashore But I refuse to steer her anymore We float alone through this virgin ocean The surging motion, a fate resigned My bones are weak, slowly decomposing The sea is closing down my mind So lay me down, and let me fall apart We're lost at sea, forget the ...

New album news! And a track from the new album. http://www.joshwoodward.com/ The last remains of Pompeii burned The gadabout had just returned To see the ashes covering the town Empires burned and cities fell While lovers kissed and said farewell And laid their fragile bodies on the ground But I'm not scared to burn To dust, I will return again If you'll stay by my side I'll lay down and I won't hide from fate Vesuvius was growing colder Embers that had hotly smoldered Settled into lifeless dust below The gadabout was still alive But not another soul survived So through the blackened streets he walked alone [chorus] The centuries will come and go The sun will shine, the wind will blow And we will curse the passing of the years But time's eternal, day by day It's us who pass, and blow away Soon no one will remember we were here [chorus]

I picked you up at ten to four Just like a thousand times before On a thousand other days We took a walk in Silver Springs I didn't even say a thing Everything just disappeared I was there the day the river went dry and I just watched it flow away I just stood and watched that river die Cuz when all is gone and nothing else remains You just hope for rain You saw the dried-out river bed You broke the silence and you said Where did all that water go? I didn't know, so I replied It's just the nature of the tide But you knew better I was there the day the river went dry and I just watched it flow away I just stood and watched ...
