Gulf is a VideoSong, a new medium with 2 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).

By the way, the bullet time effect is achieved by filming and recording the guitar track 8 times in an arc, then switching between the angles at about 2-3 frames per second. All of the layers are still in the audio mix, so it still follows all the VideoSong rules.

Gulf, by Jack Conte
Lyrics:
Stay still, soldier. Follow orders. Load up, lie low, and pray for water. I watch us come undone. I watch us come undone. Live for morning and dirty magazines. I took it all the way. I took it all the way.

  • He plays the drums, the piano, the guitar, the accordion, and probably some more instruments I've failed to mention. He's got an amazing voice, and knows how to edit extremely well. No, he's not guy that can only appear in your dreams, he's the guy who's above the skill level that we like to call Insanely Talented...he's Jack Conte!

  • ALL OF MY LIKES. YOU CAN HAVE THEM. God, I would marry that mans voice.

  • There is talented... And then there is Jack Conte...

  • Mr Conte, you are a genius *bows down*

  • @2:25 for seal sound x3

  • Jack, you are one rad dude. What school did you attend? Your musical ability is incredible.

  • Dude you are crazy talented!

  • @LedZeppelinisgod100 SAME!! I've watched it so many times! Whenever I need an inspiration for a new song I watch this :D

  • Greetings from the Junkyard - my buddy Andrew Beal shot me your way and I wanted to simply say *wow*

    Dude you rock on so many levels.

  • I have never. Ever heard, to this day, 7/4 rock THIS hard, with this amount of groove. You are a fucking LEGEND. I find myself coming back to this video, year after year.

  • I know I'll enjoy a song when it takes time to figure out the time signature. 4/4 is not the only time signature, and it can be used in music other than classical! THANK YOU JACK CONTE FOR PROVING THIS!
