Love it! Has a throwback vibe like it was made in 2003 or something. These sort of simple low budget NYC indie videos have sadly somewhat faded away but glad Jeff always carries the torch
You were throwing off sparks of pure power Sending signals from a mystery tower You didn't bother making sure it would sink in It was a different way of working and thinking Really wild and completely expressive So creative and intense and obsessive You were practically completely beyond it And you were exactly just what nobody wanted You were conscious and responsive and present You weren't trying to make something unpleasant You were just bouncing off of things that were trashy And it was never very tricky or flashy Yeah, you had a vision that was clear and directed And the ways it worked were all unexpected You were unbelievable and you were undaunted And you were exactly just what nobody wanted But to me, it was so awesome So awesome, so awesome So awesome, so awesome, just awesome It was like a focusing of what had been brewing It did a thing that no one else had been doing You worked small to see what made this or that tick Then you flipped it over so it all seemed galactic It was crazy but you really believed it You gave it everything and lived it and breathed it You made a space where all these good things collided And it made approximately no one excited It's hard to speak about the stuff you invented It was unique in how it all got presented It hit the mark and never stopped going forwards Out of a darkness with no signs and no words It spoke a language that was instant and brutal And it made all the art around it seem futile You did it well and you could even repeat it And that was exactly just what nobody needed But to me, it was so awesome So awesome, so awesome You were so awesome So awesome, just awesome A long time waiting and leaving And that's a good weird fate to believe in A mirror needs depth at an angle Where the light waves wiggle and tangle So if someone else had all your same concentration They still couldn't reach your same destination There's really something anywhere you look closely But a lot of it can come or go mostly But when something really cuts away the pretenses When something really takes a swing for the fences When something really knocks it out of the borders And rearranges all the usual orders That's exactly what the track you were on did And it was exactly just what nobody wanted A reserved seat, you fought it and receded You were so perfectly what nobody needed You pushed as far as you could make an idea go And it exactly made an impact of zero And basically the public never responded You were so amazingly what nobody wanted I held on tight to every scrap that I took in But it's like it all happened when nobody was looking But to me, it was so awesome So awesome, so awesome You were so awesome So awesome, just awesome
I just discovered him and love everything. I want to SUBSCRIBE to his channel but it's currently at 666 subscribers and I think it should stay that way.
One of my all-time favorite musicians and artists. Jeff, you make the world a better place.

One person liked the song so much that they turned their phone or computer upside down and liked it again!

You were throwing off sparks of pure power
Sending signals from a mystery tower
You didn't bother making sure it would sink in
It was a different way of working and thinking
Really wild and completely expressive
So creative and intense and obsessive
You were practically completely beyond it
And you were exactly just what nobody wanted
You were conscious and responsive and present
You weren't trying to make something unpleasant
You were just bouncing off of things that were trashy
And it was never very tricky or flashy
Yeah, you had a vision that was clear and directed
And the ways it worked were all unexpected
You were unbelievable and you were undaunted
And you were exactly just what nobody wanted
But to me, it was so awesome
So awesome, so awesome
So awesome, so awesome, just awesome
It was like a focusing of what had been brewing
It did a thing that no one else had been doing
You worked small to see what made this or that tick
Then you flipped it over so it all seemed galactic
It was crazy but you really believed it
You gave it everything and lived it and breathed it
You made a space where all these good things collided
And it made approximately no one excited
It's hard to speak about the stuff you invented
It was unique in how it all got presented
It hit the mark and never stopped going forwards
Out of a darkness with no signs and no words
It spoke a language that was instant and brutal
And it made all the art around it seem futile
You did it well and you could even repeat it
And that was exactly just what nobody needed
But to me, it was so awesome
So awesome, so awesome
You were so awesome
So awesome, just awesome
A long time waiting and leaving
And that's a good weird fate to believe in
A mirror needs depth at an angle
Where the light waves wiggle and tangle
So if someone else had all your same concentration
They still couldn't reach your same destination
There's really something anywhere you look closely
But a lot of it can come or go mostly
But when something really cuts away the pretenses
When something really takes a swing for the fences
When something really knocks it out of the borders
And rearranges all the usual orders
That's exactly what the track you were on did
And it was exactly just what nobody wanted
A reserved seat, you fought it and receded
You were so perfectly what nobody needed
You pushed as far as you could make an idea go
And it exactly made an impact of zero
And basically the public never responded
You were so amazingly what nobody wanted
I held on tight to every scrap that I took in
But it's like it all happened when nobody was looking
But to me, it was so awesome
So awesome, so awesome
You were so awesome
So awesome, just awesome
If you ever have a concert in Maryland I'll fucking be there dude
Awesome song and yes I am listening to it at .5x speed. Gives me a 90s vibe
Just realised this video came out on my 18th birthday.

I can never work out whether the bass player is male or female
Not that it matters
