Time of Your Life - Jack Conte

or direct from me (in any digital format you like):

Time of Your Life is a VideoSong, a new medium with 2 rules:
1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).
2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).

Time of Your Life, by Jack Conte
Lyrics:

Still searching,
still guessing,
still lurching,
but are you having the time of your life?

Still waiting,
still pacing,
still playing,
but are you having the time of your life?

Help me!
I don't know what to be anymore!

Still checking,
still chasing,
still dressing,
but are you having the time of your life?

Same faces,
same stories,
same places.

Help me!
I am salt in the sea.

Still searching,
still guessing,
still lurching,
but are you having the time of your life?
Are you having the time of your life?

Here I'am some 7 years later and still digging and loving VS4. There is nothing not to like on this album. I'm listening to this obviously from 2018 where i'm listening to Scary Pockets another great Conte endevour. Pomplamoose also killing it. Jack Conte the gift that keeps on giving.

@YellowSpeckeldToad - hey thanks! i was particularly proud of this tone. It's a Nelson Coquette guitar through two overdrives (the EHX Tube Zipper and the custom Bruiser made by Charles DeArmon) with the memory man delay afterwards. The delay time is set very short, probably like 50 -100, and the feedback is cranked so it rings for a long time after the initial pluck, making it feel like a tinny verb or something. then i turn down the bass on my amp which is a fender twin from the early 70s

[Hoffislav]

I love how you make 5/8 sound so smooth and also the acoustic bass guitar
The time you spend in post-production and editing must be tremendous and we all appreciate your hard

[jemgrrargh]

weird. and not exactly the stuff i'd choose if i had 5 songs to take to a desert island. but god damn i love what you're doing -- going out and making unique, clever stuff -- and more importantly, stuff that feels like it's YOURS, even when it's super different to the last thing you've done. i dig you, jack. keep taking risks and making cool stuff.

[WhitePineWake]

Of all the excellent songs on the album I keep coming back to this one for some reason. So great.

[ILikeWafflz]

I notice a lot of odd time signatures in his songs. On Planets is in 15/8, Gulf and This Disaster have some 7/4 or 7/8, there's this one with 5/4 in it, I Know ends up at 10/4, then there's Like A Match, which I can't even figure out.
I think it's really cool, because I've always loved odd time signatures, especially lately, and I think they're very underutilized.
I also didn't miss the polyrythym in Here with the snare cross stick :D

[funnyFishYo]

I will never get tired of this song. Just bought the entire album. Thanks so much!

[tobylawrence]

The amount of happiness that ensued after watching this video is indescribable.

[timothynunes]

Uh, wow. Awesome musicality, ... Vocals, instruments, arranging, mixing... I mean, wow. Words fail. You're exceptionally talented, dude.

[TheLotanos]

You just must love the 5/4 feel this song has. Amazing! i'm so glad that Jack is back!

[pestr]

I love the piano melody for this song the most, the chorus just drives this into the stratosphere. Love the video work for this.

[ZerSum]

It's pretty amazing how much more seeing the VideoSong made me like this song.

[Cavetroll]

This is TRULY AWESOME! I've listened to it like 5 times and I still have to tear myself away from it! Just . . . AWESOME!!!

[WesPickering]

WOW WOW! the Bass is panned LEFT!!! I haven't ever even considered panning the bass. It's always just right up the middle. But it works! My mind has been expanded.

[FiftyWays]

@JamesTheodoreAustin Definitely 5/4. I think the "time of your life" section is a measure of 3/4, a measure of 5/4, then a measure of 4/4, then back to form. The 2x 3/4 + 3x 2/4 that was suggested counts the same, but "time of your" is one musical thought. Probably grouped as 5/4. Semantics, I know.
With business concluded, Jack Conte is easily one of the most imaginative composers/performers I've ever had the good fortune of seeing/hearing. Thank you YouTube, and a huge thank you to Jack.

[andrewjudahmusic]

Jack, Love the Tambourine rhythm on this one! Bought the album after I saw the first video, its killer!

[HighPlainsDrfter]

How did I miss this song? I thought I "bought everything" :)
