[mrfrankproductions]

Ah man, love the trumpet bit! You've got talent bro. What software you using to make these vids?

[joelcathey]

@mrfrankproductions Thanks! I use Pro Tools for audio and Final Cut Pro for video. All my other gear is listed on my profile if you wanna take a look. :)

[officialravenzoe]

SOOOO brilliant. Ahhhhh. You're blowing me away with each video I watch.

[sherbetheadmusic]

I was going to go to sleep an hour ago, but decided to listen to this on loop. I have a feeling I'm gonna sleep sound tonight. Your remix will be coming soon, by the way, I just need to sort out some technical difficulties <3

[jennifizzle14]

Joel, how on earth did you learn all of those instruments! soooo neat.

[mundanearistocracy]

This is AMAZING. I love your voice :)

[dadifreyrmusic]

haha! that made my day! i love the backup vocals in the chorus!

DaðiFreyr

[Ivypelt]

Your voice is very pleasurable! The instruments worked wonderfully together, and there's something about this that cheered me up a bit :) You'll have a cd coming out? I know I don't need to wait, but I'm curious what your cd's gunna be like. ^^

[joelcathey]

Hey, thanks very much! I'm so glad you liked it. I'm not planning on releasing any more actual CDs for a while. I'm all about online distribution... cuz it's way cheaper. :)

[Ivypelt]

Haha, I see how it is. ^^ Well, good luck with your singing career. I'll check in with your music from time to time, so you'll hear from me again. :) chao

[californiajade]

HOLY CRAP.

You have a PHENOMENAL voice.

[joelcathey]

[Lautrimo]

This is such a great song, subscribed! xD (I love all of your other songs aswell...they're just so...well made...i don't know how to put it ^^ but i can't believe you don't have millions of subscribers by now!!!)

[koadik]

great!, your music sounds like cafetacuba, one of my favorites bands

[infamouswriter]

Man...it just hit me! You remind me of Brian Wilson and Carl Wilson, mixed together! What a great mix it is, too!

[Pieninja14]

Carl and Brian Wilson?

So he's Crian Wilson?

Oh, great, you just reminded me of the BNL song. That's gonna be in my head all day. Or, I can keep on listening to this and get it stuck in my head...

I'm rambling!! Great song, has a unique sound to it that really sounds great. Amazingnesslymajig.

[sweetafton23]

BASTARD

There is totally an In N Out cup in the bass shot.

God, I miss In N Out so much

D:

[joelcathey]

Hahahaha! Well, come back on down and we'll get some burgers!

[whiteacidpro]

I really cant believe this only has 1750some views!

You should be on American Idol or something!

[joelcathey]

Thanks!

[godzillasbigbrother]

you are amazing!

[TheJHam88]

I love the latin feel of this song. Its a lot different from your other songs. Which are still awesome, but not nearly as latin sounding.

[joelcathey]

Thanks!

[kohlcass]

You remind me of someone I knew, only nicer. That's a compliment :)

[daughterofchaucer]

LOL "half-hearted Will Ferrell impression"

so happy to have stumbled upon your music

[modernlovers77]

This ones great! I love how you mixed your style with another, keeping it serious yet silly at the same time.

And the bonus sun facts made me smile.

[joelcathey]

Thanks! Hopefully you were entertained and educated. :)

[villarte]

Joel,

You should do this part in the song twice:

Turn the boat around.

I will take my lovely girl to town.

Starting to go down?

We'll just swim it, never make a sound.

And the rest.......

If you decide to re-edit it, let me know...I'd like a longer version of this song. Thanks!

[hummingdust]

love love love this song :) listen to it on youtube at least once a day... makes me wanna SAMBA!

[daniellesmagic]

cool song, dude.

[wordsareweapons90]

Is there anyway you could send this to me? Mp3 preferably, I'd be very thankful.

[joelcathey]

Well, unfortunately, I can't give it to you for free, but it's only $1 if you'd like to purchase it! Check out the description for more info. :)

[cardalecrazy]

millions are going to be flocking to your music. Lol i hope you do great work!

[carleysp]

You are incredibly talented. I have been listening to your songs all day, honestly. This one and "Through the Window" are my favorites so far. Simply amazing.

[joelcathey]

Thanks so much!

[rwebiscool]

amazing! what audio editing software do you use? i'm definitely a fan now :)

[joelcathey]

Thanks! I use Pro Tools.

[rwebiscool]

awesome, i am learning to use logic right now but in a few years i will be using pro tools. i love the uniqueness in your songs, where do you get your inspiration from?

[joelcathey]

I have no clue what gives me inspiration. It's probably different every time.

[rwebiscool]

interesting! keep up the great work, at any rate!

[kylehunt]

very good job.  keep. it. up.

[joelcathey]

Wow, man.... Thanks for aggravating one of my biggest pet peeves by using periods after every. single. word.

But uh, seriously. Thanks! Be my friend!

[drmusic03]

Nice! and the bonus sun facts are great!

[fhefty2222]

sooooo many comments......

[ryancathey]

dude, this is stuck in my head 24/7, and I'm not just saying it cause I'm your brother. Amazing! Haunting! Golden Melody of Joy!

[ryancathey]

BTW, it rocks!

[ryancathey]

Yeah! I'm in it!!!

[nettiebelle12]

were on back up?

[qeqo23]

Awsome video, great song! i Love it

[Rednuhtfonos]

Incredible. This is wonderful. Tell us when you have an EP release or something, I'd love this in mp3. Thank you!

- Sam

[thinkmorepink]

Beautiful. "Every single letter in your name is a blessed dream."

What a great song :)

[tzarza]

you're so amazing my friend. =)

[rwebiscool]

AWESOME. you're a really talented (multi-instrumental, at that) musician, that much is evident. i can't wait to see what else you put out! do i smell a joel cathey/jack conte collaboration videosong? :) call yourselves JCJC haha

[JosephWolph]

That was sweet man!

[villarte]

I've been listening to this song like a hundred times now. Joel, how can I get this on my iPod?

[joelcathey]

I'm in the process of figuring out a cheap way to sell my songs individually. If you have any ideas let me know. I'm so glad you like it! :)

[villarte]

Hmmm...not sure the best way to sell your songs. Jack Conte might know. But one idea is to create a Paypal account. I send the money to your Paypal account and you email me an mp3 of your song.

[joelcathey]

Yeah... I'm selling my latest album through the PayPal system. I'd rather find some way to do it in a way that's fully automated. But if you really want this song, I'll go ahead and do that for you. :)

[qeqo23]

We're also doing the youtube thing (selling songs posting vids ect, blah blah)anyway, we sell our songs through a membership on paypal(similar to you) just like you we needed to selling individual songs, at a sacrifice of profit you can sell them on snowcap and post an html link on your web page (myspace)whatever. Just thought i'd give you a shout out, it works for us. On a different note, Genie M. posted your link on her facebook, and i'm glad i checked it, you blew me away.

[joelcathey]

Hey, thanks!

And I love Genie Mo. Awesome that she posted my link! Come back any time....

[littlandrea]

Loved it.

And yeah, this also the first time I've seen you play the trumpet.

[fhefty2222]

You are ridiculous in the very best way possible.

Also, I think that is the first time I have seen you play trumpet. Nice.

[joelcathey]

Hey, I'm getting tea with you in like an hour! I should probably take a shower.

And thanks!!!

[wordsareweapons90]

dude ! this is great !!! i know you listen to keane you must ! there's alot of similarities i see, good job

[joelcathey]

It's so weird that you mention that! There's one part of this song that I thought sounded like a Keane song and I had that song stuck in my head all day. Haha. Of course, I can't remember which Keane song it was. That's gonna drive me nuts. Thanks for commenting!

[Hew91]

I am LOVING This song....love th backup vocals......the only thing I can say is that the end was a little aprupt for my taste.....but meh.....I LOVED it

[villarte]

You know you've just heard a GREAT song when it doesn't have to grow on you...you like it the moment you hear it! Love this song from beginning to end!

[joelcathey]

Wow! Thanks a lot!

[soundsOFFON]

hahahaha this was awesome....those bkg vocals....hahahaha so good!!! I didn't know you played trumpet!

[joelcathey]

Thanks! Yeah, man... I started playing trumpet in 4th grade!

[jackcontemusic]

dude, you are CRAZY talented. when the "Turn the Boat Around" backup vox came in, it cranked the whole thing up a notch, so good. Great music. Can't wait for the next one.

[joelcathey]

Thanks! I'm glad you like that part. Sometimes it catches me off guard a bit.

[cranie4]

You should take him on the road with you on this next outing Jack. Call it the "We Suck So Bad" tour. See who gets it ;)

[cranie4]

The recording sounds really good. And your voice is great for harmonies..it really fits with itself tightly. Did you roll the ends off the EQ on the vocal?

[joelcathey]

Technically, I didn't roll off the low end but there is a -7 dB low shelf starting at around 200 Hz. There's a slight boost at 4-6 K and about a 4 dB, high Q boost at 9 K. It'd probably be easier to hear if we didn't have to watch this video in low quality. I'm still waiting for YouTube to make the high quality option available. ;)

Thanks for commenting!

[cranie4]

Is that a member specific option? I thought it was avail if you uploaded a high quality video then it gave the viewer the option depending on their personal preference. I have seen some videos that tell you to add &f16 something something to the address for stereo.

[joelcathey]

Well, this video is an even higher quality than my other vids. Sometimes it just takes a while for the high quality version to be available.

[benpleasance]

Nice work man! 

I'm really impressed with your work! Come and check out my videos if you get a chance!

Ben

[joelcathey]

Hey, thanks! And thanks for subscribing! I'll head over to your page right now.

[worldismarble]

that was so cool! dang I want to make a video song so badly!!!!!!!!!!!!!

do you study astronomy, or is it just an interest?

[joelcathey]

Thanks! I can't say I really study astronomy, but I did take stellar astronomy in college and it is an interest of mine. :)

[BenTheWriter]

A fluffy kitty! And a uke! And a great song! Gahhhhh!!!!

The trumpet really took me by surprise but it worked very well. Love your voice man, and your music in general.

[joelcathey]

Wow, thanks a lot!

[nerdyouare1]

an interesting mash up of a few different genres. I had fun watching this. What inspired this song if you don't mind me asking? (as far as the lyrics and the music itself)

[joelcathey]

As far as the lyrics go... as far back as I can remember, I've had this vision of a green hill with a willow tree on top that overlooks a small river. It's kind of a frequent daydream spot. And sometimes if I look at just the right angle, I can see something through my window that sorta resembles this vision.

And as far as the genre goes... I had tons of percussion toys sitting around. What better genre to showcase them? Haha. OK, it's waaaaaay past my bedtime.

Thanks for commenting!

[nerdyouare1]

That is a very nice picture you are painting there 8-) Thank you for responding. It is much appreciated

[AshleyDBird]

Your voice is so clear, sounds really great.

Look forward to more.

[joelcathey]

Hey, thanks! And thanks for commenting! :)
