James Ellis Ford - I Never Wanted Anything
jamesellisford.com

“This song and the album that it comes from are really an exercise in me finding out what happens when I don’t collaborate. Everything was written and played by me, alone in my house. The song itself is sort of a wonky love song about trying to sidestep the daily forward motion we all have and attempting to appreciate the current moment for exactly what it is, because this moment is all anyone ever has.”

Concept, Direction, Animation & FX by Trevor Jackson (trevor-jackson.com)

Lyrics:
You say that other people are special kind of hell,
And everybody needs a little moment to themselves,
But when I learn a secret then it’s you I need to tell,
‘Cause heaven would be lonely if you kept it to yourself.

Never have I ever seen such beauty on display,
Like a force of nature, nothing standing in your way,
I don’t always understand just what you’re trying to say,
So I’ll just nod and smile in that good old fashioned way.

I never wanted anything but this
I never wanted anything but this
I never wanted anything but this
I never wanted anything..

I resolved to look for God but still he hides himself,
Maybe he’s behind the books upon my kitchen shelf,
Went down to the river like that song we used to love,
I washed my face and fed the birds and sometimes that’s enough.

I never wanted anything but this
I never wanted anything but this
I never wanted anything but this
I never wanted anything..

I never wanted anything..

I never wanted anything..
