To watch video on Gather
you need the latest Macromedia Flash Player software.
Would you like to install it now?
This was the original follow-up to "Search Inside" (Song wise, not video)....The reason it took so long was I felt guilty about posting just music when the category was "Video"...So.....It took me too many friggin times, over and over to figure this shit out, but finally I got it.....Sort of....I chopped off the ending but....by that time I was so frustrated I couldn't fuck with it any more so I just let it roll........ I finally decided on pics from Hurricane Katrina, because depending on the way you interpret the song, it fits very well with tragedy, regardless of where it comes from!!! Thank You all for watching and commenting...... Hope you all enjoy................

I agree.. the pics fit well with the music. You'll get the hang of the video maker. It took me a few times playing with it to understand how to use it.

Keep 'em coming, Todd!!

Thanks,
Michelle and Debra....This has been a frustrating process....I really wanted to save this song for when I knew how to do it better, but this is one of my favorites. So ever since I found out we could post music here, I couldn't wait to put this up....

Glad you enjoyed it!!
shhhhh... don'a tell him S..
Hey Spartan.. I found another program for movie making.. called Camtasia It does a lot more than that.. I've downloaded the trial version. Have you heard of it, or used it?

pretty amazing stuff, toddie.

Great job! I loved how the images went with this powerful music.
Todd L Dec 10, 2007, 7:27pm EST
I hate playing with stuff....I have little patience for ignorance...Especially my own...I'm gonna keep trying, but this is really frustrating. It's just not something that comes easy to me, I'm not a computer person!!!

Thank you all for the support....

Spartan,
Yeah I agree, it's just hard to fill up a 4-5 min song with the same shit over and over without making it boring.....I think?

Like I said, I'm the musician, you guys are the film makers, I'm just trying to get my music out there in a "fair and balanced" way....LMAO to Spartan....I know you hate FOXnews....

I appreicate that we can do this...and I know it's not fair to just upload mp3's when others are doing work to make video's....So, I'm doing my best to work within the parameters.....

I don't know?

Great stuff Todd! I think you did a good job with the movie maker for a first go round. Can't imagine how great you'll do the next time. The photos were appropriate for a powerful song only wish that I could have made out all of the lyrics...sorry I guess I'm a little hard of hearing.

Thanks for posting this. Its great to get another form of entertainment around here!

Todd...sorry to get back to you so late ( check your e-mail ) ...however you did an excellent job blending the lyrics of your song with the images from Hurricane Katrina. In fact, it brought tears to my eyes.

Great job Brother!! Love ya !!
Todd L Dec 15, 2007, 5:24am EST
Hey Hillbilly,
I got ya....I know how those sleepless nights/days can do ya....You take care of yourself and make sure you don't end up in the hospital like I did....Thanks for the support, and ya know I always got your back!!!

" You take care of yourself and make sure you don't end up in the hospital like I did."

Hey...I'll be dead on a stretcher before I wind up in a hospital. Have you seen the movie " Wide Awake " ? Or the trailer for the movie?
Todd L Dec 15, 2007, 7:54pm EST
LMAO....Yeah I did, I really want to see that movie....LOL.....My wife just had surgery, and that came out right before she went in....She was freaking out......I was laughing my ass off, even though it ain't funny....Well, you know what I mean.....

Very powerful images, they work well for the song. The music itself gives me a sense of thunder and turmoil as well.
J. P. Dec 26, 2007, 7:21pm EST

I have a friend that was in that storm and then went to Tx. and wa in Rita .......... then went to Cal. and ended up in the middle of the fires they were having at that time, let me tell you he was a very unlucky guy. Not sure where he is now he travels alot because hes a painter with a union and hes all over the country.
jenny D. Sep 4, 2008, 10:22pm EDT
that was horrible, (not the video or sentiment but all the devistation.)
You did good putting it together.
Deborah C. May 16, 2009, 8:32am EDT
