Edit: Grr, the audio/video timing's a little off. The original is fine, but online it's screwed up on everything except MetaCafe (which has horrible audio quality): goo.gl/lsCxB . Any video pros know what might be wrong? (Premiere Pro / MPEG)
Alright, time to start taking VideoSongs more seriously. My next album will, hopefully, have a VideoSong of the recording process of every song. So I wanted to practice the process by recording a cover of a Paul Simon song by way of Peter Mulvey.

Download an MP3 of this (free, but not Creative Commons since it's a cover!): joshw.org/mp3/JoshWoodward-StrandedInALimousine.mp3
What is a VideoSong, you ask? It's a new medium with two 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).
Let me know what you think, and any video nerds (of which I am not one), tips and criticism are welcome. :)

Theres something missing
This apparition where the light once shined
I know its hollow
I guess we all know when its time
With no emotion
A slow explosion with a flash of light
But I, I wont close my eyes
And we, are blinded by it all
And we, are waiting for the faded war to fall
Theres no surrender
The last defenders walked away and died
Is this attrition?
Or just submission to the tide
These final moments
Our last opponents are upon us now
And I, can only see your face
[Chorus]
And we wont stay
And we wont go
There is no road to follow
In the cold snow
In our wet clothes
We wave the white flag high
But Im hearing no reply Josh Woodward: Faded War (Official Video)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DIHuzE_MQEw/mqdefault.jpg)

New album news! And a track from the new album.
http://www.joshwoodward.com/
The last remains of Pompeii burned
The gadabout had just returned
To see the ashes covering the town
Empires burned and cities fell
While lovers kissed and said farewell
And laid their fragile bodies on the ground
But Im not scared to burn
To dust, I will return again
If youll stay by my side
Ill lay down and I wont hide from fate
Vesuvius was growing colder
Embers that had hotly smoldered
Settled into lifeless dust below
The gadabout was still alive
But not another soul survived
So through the blackened streets he walked alone
[chorus]
The centuries will come and go
The sun will shine, the wind will blow
And we will curse the passing of the years
But times eternal, day by day
Its us who pass, and blow away
Soon no one will remember we were here
