May 5, 2010 – Video, ugh!

I have spent the day going over hours and hours of video. Just from January. Trying to put something together for this crazy idea I had. Seriously I don’t know how video editing people can do this. But I push through it. I”m trying to condense all these hours into digestible chunks. So about 12 hours of video for Jan is now condensed into 5 minutes. Cause… seriously, who wants to sit through all that? (this?) Anyway, a lot of quicks cuts, but I think it’s coming out nicely. As a reminder, you’ll see some of the clips below and more…

30A Songwriters Festival – Video

nelsone — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 18:01:40 +0000

So, here is some new video from the 30A Songwriters Festival I attended in January in Santa Rosa Beach. If you didn’t catch my notes from that day you can view them here. This video is from the last day of the festival and is my last performance. This round included musicians Bob Corley, Effron White and Blake Guthrie and MC’d by Kevin Boyle. Good Times. Just before I started, someone whispered to me that we had 3 minutes left, so I sped things up just a little as Blake still had to perform. Since we had a merch table to our rate, I said what everyone always says I forget to say. Pretty much it’s “please support me by buying my stuff” only I summarized for the given time. If you missed the first video from the festival, you can view that one here when you’re done.

Not My Life

-Alex Nelson-

This is not how I imagined
how everything would feel
never thought, It could happen
seems I’ve gone too far to make this real
but in the end I know
that we’re just passing time

I’m a wreck, on the inside
you see through my disguise
and you see right through me
feel the pain that lies behind my eyes
but I don’t know what you
see in me

No I don’t believe it’s over
I take back all the lies I told you
and I make a wish
to turn back all the time

No I don’t believe it’s over
all the times I thought
it would be just fine
but I know that this is not my life

No this is not my life

Can you stay forever?
is it the pain you want to feel?
Could we stay together
seems I’ve pushed to hard to make this real
but you say it’s ok
it’s ok
