Sinking Feeling - Jack Conte

Quick side not to all my fans: coming back to YouTube after the time it took to record VS4 has been rewarding for me beyond belief. You guys have just been so supportive and welcoming, and I am so grateful for all your encouragement. Thank you for giving me the life I've always dreamed of! Being able to make music for a living is as good as it gets.

Sinking Feeling 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).

Sinking Feeling, by Jack Conte
Lyrics:

Maybe I'll come true,
but I got this sinking feeling
that nothing's real anymore.

But I don't care, do you?
I got this sinking feeling
that nothing's real anymore.

Tell your friends about it,
maybe they'll love it, maybe they'll hate it.
You never know, it could be a lie.

You get what you choose,
and I got this sinking feeling
that nothing's real anymore.

Tell your friends about it,
maybe they'll love it, maybe they'll hate it.
You never know, it could be a lie.

Maybe I'm just blue,
but I got this sinking feeling
that nothing's real anymore.

Tell your friends about it,
maybe they'll love it, maybe they'll hate it.
You never know, it could be a lie.

Maybe I'll come true,
but I got this sinking feeling
that nothing's real anymore.
Yeah I got this sinking feeling
that nothing's real anymore.

Jack Conte: The One army band man. :) This guy motivates me to start some recording without waiting for having a band.

[YoutanPoluo]

so much talent on so many different levels. this guy. 

[pawllein]

I know this is old but, this is my favorite song of yours :)) i love it so much, i keep replaying it

[JavaPhoenixxx]

I’ve got this sinking feeling that I will forever love your music, Jack.

How come I've never heard of this Jack Conte, with him being such a great artist...

[DavidGarrett]

That drum face...

He is just so into it... !!! keep it up

[TheLivingDeadOne]

This guy is brilliant. Not only does he play every instrument, but he records the video, and edits it all into a masterpiece, . AND the music doesn't suck. The song is very Beatle-esk, but I'm ok with that, since the Beatles influenced everyone. BRAVO

[TheSuperduper]

As a fellow multi-instrumentalist and home recording enthusiast, I ask; Will you two take me under your very talented wings? 

[ChickenVendetta]

This song is a classic. It deserves to be heard by more people.

@jackcontemusic (speaking as a non-professional singer) I believe it is normal not to love the sound of one's own recorded voice. What we hear of our recorded voice has such a different resonance than what we hear inside our head while we speak or sing. Rest assured that your voice is wonderful and your singing is brilliant. Thank you for sharing with the world.

One of the things I love about the VideoSong medium is that we get the chance to see how you experience the music, and we feel it with you. Every note that you squint at, we're squinting at too.

@caneut -I feel you, dude. I always have trouble feeling OK with my vocals, but i've learned a bunch of tricks. this song has 2 vox tracks, which is pretty standard for me. my voice isn't really good enough to get away with one track unless i'm going for something personal. sometimes i'll do 4 vox tracks: 2 hard panned left and right, and 2 panned 50% left and 50% right. or i'll record hella far from the mic, that helps, too. whatever, lenon hated his voice, so that's somewhat reassuring...

[ReinerEvans]

Every song this fantastic man (and for some songs crew) made feel different from his others, which is very interesting. They don't seem to follow the same pattern, though of course, they all have the Jack Conte touch to them.

[kesschan]

You have a personal touch that united with your talent and songs that sound like longing... You're just magical

[Chiffonkek]

Clearly someone who enjoys his work and puts effort into it. It's hard to find someone like you in the era we're living in.

[boogie]

This is a hardworking dude that deserves to get a record deal. I cant imagine making all these songs, THEN making videos for them. Props to Jack for being a BOSS!

[danakerman]

I'm noticing lots of new gear!!! I'm glad people are buying your songs and allowing you greater freedom!

[tonesofhome]

How is this still not at 1M + views? What a talent!

[UncleWalter]

I do quite miss your songwriting. Your work with Pomplamoose is great and Patreon has been a lifeline for so many artists, but I really do miss the VS4 era songs. They directly inspired me to want to write and record music myself.

[Nielsio]

Jack can perform magic in all musical styles.
