Cool Animation: Sturgill Simpson - Sing Along

I've been using pastel pencils again and am working with them on an somewhat involved piece I hope to share here soon along with some other new artwork.

Until then.....

I ran across a cool animated music video by Sturgill Simpson — for his song called, Sing Along—and have embedded it below, along with the lyrics underneath it.

A Screen Grab From The Video Below

While I'd change some of the words to better reflect my tastes and beliefs—the anime/animation in the video is pretty engaging and the music track adds to the imagery.

I've been wanting to do some animation of my own that would have this look and style.

Anywho—have a look/listen—and as mentioned above—check back soon for some new Jephyr artwork!

—Please note:  While not explicit—this video contains some brief scenes of cartoon/animation violence and implied sexuality/nudity .





Sing Along - Lyrics

Words can stab as deep as night
And cut like razor thorn
Bitter air and winds of spite
Like the cold of winters scorn
Leaves may fall on sleeping ground
But the wind sweeps them away
Like hurt lovers in the final round
What once was in now decay

I can't go on living alone now that you're gone

A single strand of spider's weave
Just dancing in the sun
Please don't turn around and leave
You are my only one
Compromise is made out of peace
But history is made out of violence
After the war of words has ceased
All that's left is the deafening silence

I can't go on living alone now that you're gone
You done me wrong so here's your song
Now sing along baby

Well, I know you know that you're killing me
But its worth it just to see you smile
Tell em' to carve my name in the barstool baby
You know I'm gonna be here a while

A single strand of spider's weave
Just dancing in the sun
Please don't turn around and leave
You are my only one

I can't go on living alone now that you're gone
You done me wrong so here's your song
Now sing along

Thanks for stopping by.

See you again soon....................
