Yippee I'm celebrating one year on Youtube. The best way for me to do that is to upload a new original song. This one is called "Broadcast fantasy", and it's quite fitting really, considering Youtube is all about video. It's an amusing view of tv addiction, and some of the ridiculous things that go on in soap operas etc. Beyond belief, but millions still watch :)

I hope you enjoy the song and have a chuckle at the lyrics. It's all happened on T.V.

Broadcast fantasy is the sixth song on the album "Sight Or Sound", which can be purchased digitally at:

As well as many other reputable digital outlets such as Amazon, Itunes etc.
You can also listen to clips from other tracks on the album.

Here are the words.

------------------------------------
BROADCAST FANTASY
------------------------------------

I missed it again, I didn't get home in time for my favourite show.
I wanted to see who's sleeping with who, and who's ill from a contract review.
And who has blown up the coffee shop.
And has the long lost lover finally shown up.

I'm wasting my life.
I could be checking out events in the real world.
It's funny but I
Am addicted to the broadcast fantasy.

I missed it again, I've been waiting for the fictional mission, in high definition.
The reckless cause, and at the moment of greatest tension. A commercial suspension.
Running alone in a battle zone.
And the only harm is a scratch on the arm.

I'm wasting my life.
I could be living my days in the real world.
It's funny but I
Am addicted to the broadcast fantasy.

I missed it again. The man who got shot drowned and maimed and came back to life.
And the child that grew up so fast, and now they look like somebody else.
All the stories they choose seem to shadow the news.
With a moral twist for me and you.

I'm wasting my life.
I could be checking out events in the real world.
It's funny but I
Am addicted to the broadcast fantasy.

I'm wasting my life.
I could be having some fun in the real world.
It's funny but I
Am addicted to the broadcast fantasy

Jeff I put this video on my fb, It is too amazing and you too :-)

ciao

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

That's one of the songs from my album. I'm glad you liked it. It pokes fun at that little square box we all seem so addicted too :)

[jeffstunes]

Oh I forgot to add that there's a guy on Youtube that did a cover of this song :)

[dragonflyjan]

Wonderful, singing and fun to see this entertaining vidio :)

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

I wanted to write a song about TV addiction and this is what I came up with :)

[sppsdlismartgrl]

I LOVE this video, and especially the backing vocals while you repeated "I missed it again". Backing vocals in general would give your voice a bit more depth.

Just an American teen's opinion, though, mind, so please don't be afraid to delete it.

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

Of course I wont delete it. I only delete abusive and rude comments.

[kiasmo72]

oh.. ok I look for cover now !Thank you Jeff for your reply, I'm flattered :-) I can't stop to sing this song in my mind in all time of my last days :-p

In next day I'll buy your album.

ciao ciao :-D

[jeffstunes]

Thanks Jeff.

You are an awesome.
