Pretending

I consider this my masterpiece.

It is certainly my favorite.

It's the story of my life, told as only I can tell it.

The video features 8mm home movies of me as a baby, and as a toddler. It also includes my late teens/early twenties from Mike's Surprise Birthday party, footage of his grandpa and son Robbie, as well as various footage from our Edge of Sanity days.

It's a very personal video for a very personal song, but don't be afraid to share in it. You're definitely invited!

I've never known
Much about life
I've never been much of a sage
Wasting my time
Searching for love
Not knowing why I'm so afraid

Months have gone by
All in a blur
Pieces that don't add up at all
And I've never known
True freedom at all
And I'd like to try true love on the way

And I spent my life
Oooh Pretending
Waiting for something to come
Wondering aloud
Where's the meaning?
Who am I?
What am I for?
And I don't understand
Ooh the answers
To questions that I never asked
But you can be sure
Whatever happens
This moment will come only once
So I'd rather grab it while its here
Shining on down
Like light from heaven
A miracle
For everyone
Oh woah oh woah
Shining on down
Shining on down
Oh woah!

great song the footage makes me yearn for my old friends and times like that. Stuff was definitely cooler when everything was analog. I identify with the lyrics totally dude. Even today on my ipod i kept skippin around to the relics like april wine and having all these old memories flashback. Stuff that I haven't remembered for years!!
