Jon Watts - "Together We Compose This Bloody, Bleeding, Beating Drum"

"Together We Compose This Bloody, Bleeding, Beating Drum" is a spoken word piece that I put to music for my recent album, "Clothe Yourself in Righteousness". It was especially difficult because of the length and complex relationship with rhythm (tempo changes, moving from no metronome to metronome) and I feel very blessed to have pulled it off. Thanks for watching!

This whole album has become a staple for my winter drives during these dreary days. I love how this song makes me feel sadness for the past and hope for the future at the same time...

@jonwattmusic i was a quaker qhen i was a little child, my beleifs were losts for a few years and now I'm a teenager and I went YMG last summer, there i rediscovered the faith i once had and you are now helping to support it with your music and im now much more involved with Quakers.

I should have commented a few days ago when I was having a hard day and I saw this on your tumblr and it's been running through my brain ever since. Thanks for sharing, as always. What you come up with is so exciting

Jon, your music is much like your presence as I remember it, calming and deeply insightful. Despite time and space between us when I hear you music I nevertheless feel connected to your beautiful journey. I am grateful for the privilege to glimpse inside your soul. You are undoubtedly profoundly talented. Your music both grounds me and lifts my spirit. Please never stop sharing your gift. Fantastic song! Brings me back to the good times spent in your dorm room watching you work your magic :)

I'm commenting because this video is awesome and deserves all the love it can get. Not just for the free t-shirt, I swear! <3

Great Job Jon, keep up the good work! Video is wonderful complex and beautiful, loved the music

This year i have been struggling with my faith as a Quaker. Your music has been a lifeline to me keeping me centered in the tough times this past. The world may change but I love being able to have to force myself to not multitask when listening to this. Be warned this music will be forever in your head and heart. I am honestly happy when I listen to this.

came for the t-shirt, stayed for the sense of simpleness and ambiguity
