Happiness - Grant Lee Buffalo (Cover)

for my first foray into the videosong realm, i thought i'd start with a song that is one of my all time favorites.

for some weird reason, the first drum clip doesn't want to sync up despite numerous re-edits. oh, well...

i just don't have Jack Conte's skillz

hope you enjoy.

A VideoSong is 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)


Lyrics:

nevermind me 'cause I've been dead
out of my body and bent out of my head
nevermind the songs they hum
don't want to sing along
there's nothin' that I said

that'll bring you happiness happiness
is hard to come by I confess
i'm bad at this thing happiness
if you find it share it with the rest of us

nevermind the words that came
out of my mouth when all that I could feel was pain
the difference in the two of us
comes down to the way
you rise over things I just put down

that'll bring you happiness happiness
is hard to come by I confess
i'm bad at this thing happiness
if you find it share it with the rest of us
the rest of us

nevermind me 'cause I've been dead
out of my body and bent out of my head
nevermind the curse I wore
proud like a badge
that just don't shine no more

that'll bring you happiness happiness
is hard to come by I confess
i'm bad at this thing happiness
if you find it share it with the rest of us
the rest of us

This is such a great song, and you did a great job on it too. Nice touch with the raquet! That gave me a chuckle.

Great Cover of an awesome song by one of my fav bands. I like to seek out covers of my fav bands by other fans. One question, what software did you use to edit video and get those windows like that. Thanks, man.

[therealbudman67]

Wow! This was an amazing random find. I've had this song stuck in my head all day after a sad breakup, and I wanted to hear Grant Lee do it live. Well, your version touched me deeply- it is full of hope, honesty, and grace. Wonderful. Thank you.

This is wonderful. You sing in the spirit of the song and add your own creative (and highly enjoyable) overlay. Great job!
