Here's a bigger one for you broadbanders. But soon, I'll take both of these off...I can't have big traffic on this server.

http://www.eisley.com/test/LostatSea_big.mov

For newcomers...again; this is the roughest, most vulnerable form of a
song we could present to you guys... the real version has Stacy
harmonizing, but honestly...it's not totally worked out...especially with the
band. I'm not even sure why I'm doing this. I think it was Ali; he said he
couldn't live without this song (until the full length)...so I promised to get
something up. So, make sure, as this get's spread around that you let
people know. bd

i feel like a dork thanking you over and over, like i should try to be more creative about it after a while. but what can i do. i can't imagine any other band or family or person being this generous with time and energy. i mean, i probably would have died if i didn't get this movie, so i suppose i owe you my life. that means you can make me do your dishes, or wash your car, mow your lawn, take down those christmas lights you probably still have up - you know, typical manservant stuff.

well, i've gotta go pack for tyler. save me a spot on the lawn. do you guys have a vacuum, or should i bring one? oh and i've gotta go buy an apron and a headscarf...

I think my wife might rather me do all that stuff... But, it's no big deal.
We're just thankful to you guys for being born with brains and ears that
like Eisley's music. Today, it feels good that somebody does.

I was serious...when I said I would be adding way more media whenever
WB gets that website up and running. It's fun, right? Anyway...Eisley
approved of the little flick. They seemed to love it. But it's their song that
makes it.

i just saw the big version. it seems the little choppy slicy bits in between weren't put in, they were a by product, maybe.. well i still think they're cool, and i love both versions Smile

tell the band thanks for letting us have this so soon, without all the final work done. and thanks to your family for sharing some intimate moments Very Happy

I said it before... but I really like the video and that version of the song. They fit each other well. It looks and sounds so sad... but optimistic at the same time. I don't know. I call it a "good kind of sadness"... if that makes sense to anybody.

yeah i got that kind of sweet sadness feeling to it, like the home movies you'd watch of someone who recently passed.. but that sounds too depressing to accurately describe it. it's terrifically amazing.

hmmm. it works great on my mac. the big one is smooth and colorful and
awesome. i guess we'll never work out the differences between the two
platforms... are you guys on cable? no choppiness here. sorry.
But, you're totally welcome.

I kinda like the juxtaposition of the ambiguous darkness with flickers of
light/reality against the non-descript, bright, flurry of Chorus colors.... it
let's your imagination work instead of force feeding well-known imagery
(thus interpretation). Then, the little V-Fest footage is sorta set up as the
literal payoff to "we finally made it" - which is tounge and cheek. Nobody
"makes it" by playing a festival...(that's mainly for fun and because it was
the first tape I pulled out of the giant garbage bag of video tapes) and I
tie it together with a dark, flickering outro (similar footage as at the
start...only leaving V-Fest) and conclude with your basic, "there's no
place like home", which is perhaps literal, but...I like it so...BAM.

oh. the guy with us in the dressing room is Dave Holmes. (an endearing
friend/manager). The other guy is Rock from Nettwerk. He was our tour
manager for that trip. An awesome guy as well....

I would hope that it could go on a CD exactly like that. Even with the metronome and all. Seriously. Very Happy

wow. Boyd, i love this video, really good, but the true magic is in this song, its amazing, it has to be on the full length or a b-side, its probably the best new eisley song i've heard for a while. wow. thanks. it even has clips from the v fest, cant work out if there is any clips from the one i was at, but its cool nonetheless.
