Song: Same Old Tune

SAME OLD TUNE from MAGGIE MURPHY on Vimeo.

This was, like, the nineteenth attempt at recording this one because Photobooth kept cutting off the video prayer-offerings on its own, wherever it felt like it. With this video, I would like to acknowledge two things: 1) I realize that this is basically the exact same tune as yesterday's, and that is because sometimes when I make up the melody to a songling it gets stuck in my head and every other attempt to come up with something new will only produce words that fit to the first melody, and the point of this exercise is just to use the first thing that comes to mind, not come up with something worthy in any sense, AND 2) I realize that it's sort of weird-looking when I look at myself in the corner of my screen rather than at the camera, but really, why should I look at the camera and not myself? Looking at the camera would establish a false sense of eye contact with you out in the great abyss, but I cannot see you, and I can see myself. I don't even know who watches these things, including both the handful of people that I've actually told about my blog and any potential unseen, unheard internet tiptoers who happen upon chronicles of other people's inanities by chance or by circumstance.

I am skipping a class right now and feel an enormous sense of guilt that I am attempting to assuage by copping to cutting class in this here and now, where and when you can't see me, but it's not working.
