New Vid: This Life We're Living (SPN)

[starrylizard]

I've had a few issues with Vegas this time and remade this vid more times than I care to admit. I'd blame Vegas, but I'm sure it's all operator failure. *laughs* I know nothing. :P Anyway, I absolutely love this song and dled it for Free from Matt Mahaffey's MySpace, so hopefully it does the song justice.

*cough* Okay, I was going to reupload a better version, but I fixed one thing and it stuffed up a few more, so now I'm not. Good news for anyone who had already dled it. Hee!

I've tried to put down the lyrics. I always thought it was "Coat tails," but the lyrics I found (on another blog) thought it was "curtails." Now I have no idea, so you decide! :P



I get up out of bed,
Get some coffee,
Go to work.
I go from best to better to bad and then worst.
I can't hang, I can't hang, I can't hang--
Out with you.
Cuz in the middle of my head is the pounding truth.

(In this life) we're livin'.
We're just ridin' the coat tails.
(In this life) we're livin'.
There's no wind under our sails.
Ridin' the coat tails.

In the dirtiest of towns it's a raggedy scene;
I go to buy my breakfast -
got no money left to spend.
I can't fly, I can't fly, I can't fly --
'Round the room; Cuz in the middle of my head is the pounding truth.

In this life we're livin'.
We're just ridin' the coat tails.
(In this life) we're livin'.
There's no wind under our sails.
Ridin' the coat tails
(In this life)
(In this life) we're livin'.

We're just riding the coat tails, ridin' the coat tails.
(In this life) hell yeah we're livin'
There's no wind under our sails
Just ridin' the coat tails.
(In this life.) We're just livin'.

It's definetly coat-tails. The album was never released so there is no lyric shet. Whoever has transcribed the lyrics heard it wrong.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he says Coat tails pretty clearly, but it just made me unsure. I changed them to what I thought anyway. :P

[smuffster.livejournal.com]

Also.

OMG, awesome. You know I don't watch SPN, but love this vid. Love the music!!!!

Is that the version I sent you? The album version is a lot different.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It's so cool that you like it even without watching the show! Wheee! :) I've changed it so many time, I wasn't sure if it was any good any more.

You sent me to his MySpace and I downloaded the song off there. I didn't realise there was another version. I also dled Sucked out the Center off his MySpace. They're the only two song I have so far. I notice you can't dl any of them atm. Maybe there's only so many dls a month or something like that.

Cheers

Wow, just wow.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Woo! Just woo! *bounces*
I'm so glad it's not bad! :)

[berlinghoff79.livejournal.com]

Not bad at all! Great composition. The scenes fit to the lyrics and the music. Perfect. Three thumbs up.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! :D
I'm not going to even ask where the other hand came from. :P

[smuffster.livejournal.com]

The stuff they have up now is the stuff you can buy. Sucked and that version of Pounding Truth were both demos.

I can't find that version on my hd though. Would you mind uploading it for me sometime? I've burnt your disc and just have to mail it on Monday.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Sure, no problem. :)

[not-sally.livejournal.com]

great song!

[shippyflo.livejournal.com]

Wow! Amazing vid! I first watched it and I've liked it so much I'm now downloading it :)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Yes it is. Did you see the dl for it?

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Thank you for commenting. Glad you enjoyed it. :D

[not-sally.livejournal.com]

No! downloading now ^_^

[lark_ascends]

*glees*

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :D

[black-birdie.livejournal.com]

Excellent, EXCELLENT vid. You had me at the opening quotes. Wolfpup said you were good, but this is better than good- I can't wait for the next SN vid!! Lovely directing, spot-on beats. Any chance we can get you to come to KazCon, or at least submit a vid for the contest?
Many thanks for sharing,
emily

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! :)

Excuse my ignorance, but what's a KazCon? And is the contest like a challenge comm?

Oh and all my vids are listed here (http://starrylizard.livejournal.com/184775.html), just scroll down for the SPN ones. :)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Oh just found it online. Kansas is a bit too far for me on such short notice (prob a 2day flight *grins*), but I could probably try to make something for the DVD or contest/premiere thing (although July 14 is closing in fast O_O).

I'll think about it. There aren't any songs jumping out at me atm.

Thanks again for the kind comments. :)

[black-birdie.livejournal.com]

KazCon is a Supernatural convention we're holding in Lawrence, KS this august! Come check it out at www.kazcon.net!
Keep up the great work,
emily

Hey, I'm a big fan of your vid, especially the opening, which is just awesome. I also LOVE the song but can't find a download link to it anywhere - any hints? Once again, congrats with the vid!

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thanks for your comments.

It used to be on his Myspace as a free dl, hence the link on my post, but he seems to have taken it down. I've uploaded it a few times already by request. I can try to remember to upload it again in the next few days, if you'd like and I'll add a link to the vid page.

This version of the song is a remix. I believe the original version (which I also have, but don't like quite as much) was off his album which has never been released. Poor guy.

Cheers

If you could, that would be really wonderful. I read something on a website about how they don't even own the rights to their own songs, which is so ridiculously unfair.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Yeah, exactly! Poor guy! His album is out there, because it was *cough* leaked, but you can't buy that one. You can certainly buy some of his other stuff though through his MySpace though, and he sometimes has remixes like this one on his MySpace too, which you can just dl for free, so it's worth keeping an eye on. :)

Anyway, here's the link again: Matt Mahaffey - The Pounding Truth (http://www.4shared.com/file/27679335/9608d214/The_pounding_truth_Matt_Mahaffey.html)
I couldn't upload it over the weekend. My internet is stuffed atm.

[possum-baby.livejournal.com]

Wow, that is awesome, thanks so so much! I certainly will stay on the look out! Thanks again.
