'Guru' video!!

Couldn't be prouder to be posting my first ever music video. Shot over the spring and summer with our good friend/independent film-maker Mark Betancourt. It was a mighty collaboration - sort of took shape as it went. Mark (who by chance was blessed with equal and unusually heaping portions of creativity and heart) pushed us, pulled us, woke us up in the middle of the night, and occasionally cooked us dinner. Lisette generously bestowed up on us her time and magick, I tried to stay focused and not act like a 6 year-old. Carrie and Lindsay and Heather and this great dude in front of our apartment helped us out, too, with secret low-budget special effects and stuff. Bryan lent Mark the camera. Not to mention the other people who helped us in ways I'm not supposed to talk about, or in ways they weren't even aware of. (Mwa ha ha) . Please enjoy, pass on to everyone and anyone, and keep passing it.

Here are the words in case you were wondering:

Guru

boodoodbabababdodbaodbdoddoodwabadayda da da

i met you at the moment rain turned into snow, said "you wanna go back to my place and drink a bowl of cocoa?" oh no, am i going loco for the this lady so so fast? i've only been solo since last week, but you know i can't keep my dreams to myself, she said "please help yourself, there's a box on the shelf, why not at least share the wealth?" i think i was hearing bells, but the landlady smelled something funny coming from the other room, peaked under the window, kicked us out the next afternoon. i was like, "oh well-" wasn't too early to tell that baby living without you would be hell.

hook:

cause you're my
guru my rugu my shoobeedoowop pop stop before i get a booboo
cause you knew just what to do: voodoo,
it's up to you, true blue and stuck like glue cause i must have you....my....

(repeat)

boodoobapo ba do ba dabda bdo.....


well there was
something between us and nothing inbetween, know what i mean? lean mean rabble rousing machines. well you remember the scene, right? it was halloween night, and you looked so dream like, queen like, it was almost movie-screen like, when you gave me the green light to hook up my steam-pipe, and i could have beamed right up up to heaven no second guessing no stressing no lessons learned from past transgressions, the last weapon in the battle against depression is re-setting, and you keep letting on that your feelings are getting strong, maybe we're getting to where we belong, getting up at the break of dawn, to catch you getting out of the shower with your towel on, smile on, and i'm thinking, "how long can these wonders pile on?" but anyway meanwhile, lets ride on, uh.

cause your my guru...
hook

life
life is long
longer than this song
as long as it takes to make it to find where we belong

love
love is true
true as me and you
and blue as you'd be knowing there's nothing you could do

repeat

scat. out
