Welp, this was recorded as part of the 24-hour WXPN #xpnsongchallenge. I wrote, recorded, performed and submitted this video within a 24-hour period starting at noon EDT on Saturday, June 1, 2024. I played the electric rhythm guitar, trumpet and keys. Absolutely no loops were used. Unfortunately, my USB camera started weirding out 3 days before I needed to make the video so I ordered a replacement that I didn't really get to test out. The combo of that along with my computer running very slowly lately meant that this video looks like something you would see on the Internet around 2005.
(NOTE: This is a revised edit of the live performance video I submitted to WXPN for the song challenge. I was under time constraints so I wasn't able to make it look a little better despite all the technical shortcomings. I think this version is a touch better.)
Thanks for the warning
It doesn’t do much for me
Thanks, global warming
The kids are all home from school
Freedom is fleeting
So very hard to keep it cool
But it’s really not my scene
In the sunshine, the sunshine
Bring back the snow and cold
Summer means I’m getting old
And there’s no time, no time
There’s nothing much for me
Just baseball, and some concerts and shows
And weather so stormy
Traffic is everywhere
Nothing is moving
Summer may not be my thing
But this song’s kind of grooving…grooving
But it’s really not my scene
In the sunshine, the sunshine
Bring back the snow and cold
Summer means I’m getting old
And there’s no time, no time
It happens every year
The season that I fear
I’m so tired, so tired
Just want to be somewhere
I can find some drier air
OK, maybe I’m overstating how much I hate summer
But I really don’t like it much
Plus my birthday is in summer
Anyway, figured I’d play my trumpet
For the first time in over 40 years
But it’s really not my scene
In the sunshine, the sunshine
Bring back the snow and cold
Summer means I’m getting old
And there’s no time, no time
It happens every year
The season that I fear
I’m so tired, so tired
Just want to be somewhere
I can find some drier air
