Jen and I wandered around town this weekend and shot a simple video for one of our songs, Lost and Unsettled. We know nothing about making videos, but quickly figured out that… well, for one thing, it’s really hard. For another, when you have no budget, you just gotta improvise. So, these are shots from our excellent neighborhood here in Somersworth, mixed in with some hot accordion action for good measure.
Anyway, a wise man once told me, “it is what it is,” and at least we now have something to throw up on the ol’ YouTube. Special thanks to our great pal Rich Woodall for the use of his Flip cam!

Lost And Unsettled
I have a special playlist on iTunes just for ‘The Honorable Mentions’ and I can say it gets quite a workout.
Thank you for putting out your songs (and comics!), they make me want to write 🙂
Just a simple thank you for bringing some wonderful music into my year, and ears! Oh and a great video as well!
Brilliant!
Who knew Sommersworth was so Noir.
So cool, guys! 😀 Jen, did I detect you trying not to laugh near the end there, when you’re walking along the sidewalk in downtown Dover? Anyway, really sweet stuff. You better believe I’m going to post this around.
(Btw, I tried leaving a response on YouTube itself, but it kept timing out.)
i like it! it fits really well with the feel of the song.
Amazing. I don’t think I’ll ever see Somersworth at night the same way. Which is really a good thing when I think about it…
Edward: Wow, thanks so much! That always makes our day to hear that people like the music (and the comics). 😀
Patrick: Thanks! Haha, noir. Somers-worth-it!
Mike: We’re pleased you liked it. Thanks for posting it around! Yes, you’re right that I was trying not to laugh. It was weird, but as I was walking down the sidewalk trying to be natural, I noticed the harder I tried, the more unnatural I felt. I suddenly remembered that episode of 30 Rock where Jack feels so uncomfortable in front of the camera that he forgets how to move his arms while walking. That’s about when I started to laugh. Heh.
Aaron: Thanks! That was what we were aiming for! Glad you liked it.
Tyler: Somersworth at night is a scary, scary thing.
