I HEARD
I heard you're selling tickets to ride on eBay
I'd love to buy it now but I'm always too late
Nothing really happened for me, babe
I'm still the same old me
I know I'm over-thinking this way too much
But I'd really like to know if you still think of us
It's been so long since you and me
I'm sure you told me once then
The down's not worth the up
Maybe we were both mistakes
Confused in hopeless love
No-one's heard much from you these days
I guess you're flying underneath the radar
Hey, have you changed your number
Or just thrown the phone away?
I wish I could've told you
To slow your pace down
I should've helped you more
But I always skip town
What's the deal with me and ghosts anyway?
And I'm sure you told me once babe
The down's not worth the up
Now I know we made mistakes
Confused in endless love

Half Way To Run (live acoustic) - Jason Allen & David Griffin
Переглядів 180Місяць тому
In early October 2024, I travelled north to visit the Griffin family. Dave suggested that we play a version of Half Way To Run, from my Happy Medium album. Being an old doddery fool, I didn't know how to play it, so a few hasty run-throughs took place before we went out to the chip shop. Later that evening we filmed a couple of versions on the phone camera, and this is a 'hybrid' of the two tak...

Dim And Distant Future - Jason Allen

A partially-bonkers song about Mr Green and his love life woes, replete with a video featuring some AI-assisted dreamlike sequences where some of the people have weird faces and can fly. Song written, performed and recorded by me, Jason Allen. Several parts of this song (the instrumental melody and a guitar riff) came to me in real-life dreams I had, captured in the dark hours on my phone. Dim ...

A lyric video for track nine of the Happy Medium album. Dedicated to all the outliers, the loners, the small-hours creatives, the never-grew-ups, and the solitary walkers silhouetted on distant horizons in the last of the daylight. We are never alone whilst we have ideas and each other for company. Happy Medium: jasonallen.fanlink.tv/happy_medium Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/2pq1d9zLCgIrz1d...

Nicely done
Thanks Cas. 👍
really amazing❤
Thank you for listening. 🙌
I really love this one Jason. 🥲👌Your photography is sublime as always 🥰
Thank you Anne. Been a while since I did a mournful ballad! 👋🍂🎻
As a 62 yr old Clash fan, I approve this message. This and many of their songs are so needed again, and this reinterpretation of style is fantastic. You have the vocal feel of Neil Diamond.
Thank you Philip. I woke up to your kind words. Much appreciated. Long live The Clash!
@@JasonAllenSomerset in the 80s, Rolling Stone called them "The only band that matters". I know that to me, they still seem to matter more than anything else that ever came out of the music industry. Keep doing what you are doing my friend. Joe would love it.
Lovely voice Jase XXX
Thank you my friend. X
Lovely song
Thanking you very much.
This is such a lovely song. Nice to have this intimate version
Thank you. This one resonates with me more as the years go by!
Nicely done
Cheers Cas.
Thank you! 😊
My pleasure. Would never have thought about playing this song if you hadn't mentioned it. :)
Great song and performance
Thank you Cas.
Nice song, makes me think of my own journey 👍
Cheers Mike. Much appreciated.
Thanks for this! I like the after-dark atmosphere
You are very welcome! I've worked on one of your other suggestions too, but not had a chance to film it yet.
Great song and performance
Thank you very much, Cas.
Joe would be very proud of you.
Thank you. That's uplifting to read.
Great song and performance
Thanks Cas. Kind words, gratefully received. Cheers.
🫶This one Jason
I always appreciate your comments, Anne. Thank you. 👋
Ah the burden of being born a townsman! Had to google lengthsman. Sham high street needs one of them to stop people falling over. I trust that second favourite book is 'The Complete Angler' btw?
I got the lengthsman knowledge from watching countless re-runs of Jack Hargreaves programs (especially Old Country). It's a gold mine of nostalgia. The book in question is actually 'Watcher In The Shadows' by Geoffrey Household, but totally understandable that you'd think it was the Walton book.
@@JasonAllenSomerset binge watched all the Jack Hargreaves programs on YT couple of years back. Nice to know that absolutely none of the content that I was in awe of has stuck to sieve like brain. Think you’ve mentioned that book before as you’ve sampled a sentence or two from it in the past? Perhaps there’s hope for my brain yet.
@Fishwish I only remember these things because nowadays I seem to live in a world consisting mostly of Hargreaves-inspired farming/rural nostalgia and war-era thrillers. 🤠
Love this song❤
And I like the way it sounds so "up close" in this version
Thank you my friend. Yes, the camera was agonisingly close to me, but it did manage to pick up the sound a little better. I'm slowly getting the hang of this filming performances malarkey! :)
Here's the studio version: ua-cam.com/video/FgAIps1T2f0/v-deo.html
Don't know how you do it. That one hit me like a brick, you bugger! Beautiful song. Love that cloud footage btw.
Thanking you, sir! I’m really happy with the way this song ended up. The cloud time lapse made me realise just how many layers there are above our heads.
Peace among the trees was all there ever was. Very nice mate.
Thank you my friend. It dawned on me lately that I often mention in my songs the need or desire to get back to nature and mute the background hum of modern life. I know that's a concept that you're on board with too. Cheers.
@@JasonAllenSomerset since I’ve been trying to make UA-cam videos, I’ve become so much more aware of all the noisy buggers and how difficult it is to actually find somewhere they can’t be heard. The white noise of leaves and water definitely helps.
Indeed, planes, trains, automobiles and folks shouting after their dog, etc. I'm looking forward to the AI camera app that filters out unwanted background noise, but mildly pensive that it'll filter me out too!
@@JasonAllenSomerset now that would be cool! Is that a pipe dream or a not distant reality?
AI apps already exist that can separate voice from music etc. My guess it that it will be widespread in camera apps within 3 years or so.
Nice. Reminds me of Zac Farro.
Thanks for listening. Cheers!
💚
Beautiful!! 🙏🥰🫶💜🎵🎶☮️🫂🌿🔮🌳
Thanks very much. 🙌⭐️🎸
Nice performance 😀
Thank you! Much appreciated. 👍
Love both versions Jason. 🤍👋🏻
Thanks Anne! 👋⭐️🎸
Here's the studio version - ua-cam.com/video/UHLgCREgYQo/v-deo.html
Hey. That was pretty dang good. Took a little while to get going, little soft to take that long to go. But glad I stuck with you.
Thanks for sticking it out. I'm old school - album tracks still get 'room to breathe' ! Cheers.
You kinda remind me a little of muse😊
Thanks! That's a first for me. Cheers for listening.
Dystopic beauty
I made the AI animation over a year ago, and it just seemed to fit the vibe of the music. 'Dystopic beauty' - I like that description.
Beautiful. Quite emotional too
Thank you. The instrumental section was inspired by the outro to Just A Shadow.
😄
That’s an amazing video and tune Jason 👌
Thank you Anne. 👋🙏
😳😳😳 Another one of my Happy Medium faves getting a super-cool video!
Thanking you my friend. I could see lots of swirling colours in my mind when I was writing the song, so I knew I wanted the video to be colourful too. :)
That first line always makes my chuckle :) And now the video too!
This has made me happy! Yes, that line is a bit close to the bone, hence the comedy look to camera. :)
@@JasonAllenSomerset 💚
Just beautiful 🎶👌
I really appreciate you listening and commenting. Thanks. 🙏
Love, love this one Jason 😊
That good to know! Thanks Anne. 👋😊
😊👋🏻
Fabulous!
Thank you Anne. 😊
Love this one Jason!
This one generally got overlooked somewhat, so I'm grateful for the comment, as always. 🙌👍
I love this song ❤ One of my favourites on the album 😊
Thanks for watching, Den. Glad you like it!
Omg ..Chilling!!! A damn masterpiece you made!
Kind words! Thank you very much. I've got a few more Clash covers that I'm going to record when I get some time. Cheers.
@@JasonAllenSomerset Looking forward to it. Love your interpretation of this classic song.
