The Lazy Song music video by Bruno Mars

The Lazy Song music video by Bruno Mars

Bruno Mars released the official music video for his track “The Lazy Song” off the “Doo-Wops & Hooligans“. The head bobbing video takes place in a small studio apartment and done in one continuous take. Behind the sunglassed monkey masks are the Poreotics (winners of America’s Best Dance Crew Season 5). Amazingly, the entire video concept and choreography was done in about 8 hours. Get lazy with Bruno Mars and the Poreotics monkeys. They’re not gonna do anything. Nothing at all.

You can get the song on The Lazy Song - Doo-Wops & Hooligans (Deluxe Version) or amazon.

Also see the Bruno Mars music videos for Grenade, Just the Way You Are, and Liquor Store Blues. All off the “Doo-Wops & Hooligans” album.

Lyrics to The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars

Today I don’t feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
Cause today I swear I’m not doing anything

Uh, I’m gonna kick my feet up and stare at the fan
Turn the TV on
Throw my hand in my pants
Nobody’s gon’ tell me I can’t, nah

I’ll be lying on the couch just chillin in my snuggie
Click to MTV so they can teach me how to dougie
Cause in my castle I’m the freakin man

Oh Oh, yes I said it
I said it
I said it cause I can
Today I don’t feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
Cause today I swear I’m not doing anything

Nothing at all
Ooh hoo ooh hoo
Hoo ooh ooh
Nothing at all
Ooh hoo ooh hoo
Hoo ooh ooh

Tomorrow I wake up, do some P90X
With a really nice girl have some really nice sex
And she’s gonna scream out, “this is great” (Oh my god
this is great)
I might mess around and get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
I’m sorry pops you just have to wait

[CHORUS]

No I ain’t gonna comb my hair
Cause I ain’t going anywhere
No no no no no no no no nooo
I’ll just strut in my birthday suit
And let everything hang loose
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahhh

Ohh Today I don’t feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
Cause today I swear I’m not doing anything

Nothing at all
Ooh hoo ooh hoo
Hoo ooh ooh
Nothing at all
Ooh hoo ooh hoo
Hoo ooh ooh
Nothing at all

So Goodbye (This Time Lies Won't Explain) by Chester See

Singer/actor Chester See collaborated with singer/musician last year for the track “So Goodbye (This Time Lies Won’t Explain)”. The pair collaborated on the music and the lyrics for the song. Now, the part Filipino singer has released the official music video for the single with a storyline about cheating. It’s shows a love triangle and the confrontation between the male characters. The cinematography is really well done for an indie project.

It reminds us of Love Affair by J-Ricz.

Commentary on So Goodbye (This Time Lies Won’t Explain)

Lyrics to So Goodbye (This Time Lies Wont Explain) by Chester See

(Yeah)
(Yeah)

One word
One look
One walk on by

Your silence speaks to me tonight
A question that I know the answer to
An answer that I need to hear from you
But I can’t take this anymore

(Chorus)
So this is the last song I sing to you
It’s time I be a man and I face the truth
Lies are the tears in your eyes
I won’t waste the time or the breath on you
To explain things you’d think you already knew

So goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

One push
One pull
One final break

This foolish heart and your mistakes
It’s hard enough to know the things you did
It’s harder not to let you right back in
But I’ve got nothing left to say

(Chorus)
So this is the last song I sing to you
It’s time I be a man and I face the truth
Lies are the tears in your eyes
I won’t waste the time or the breath on you
To explain things you’d think you already knew
Already knew

(interlude)

(Chorus)
So this is the last song I sing to you
It’s time I be a man and I face the truth
Lies are the tears in your eyes
I won’t waste the time or the breath on you
To explain things you’d think you already knew
Already knew

Goodbye (x9)

Help fund A Woman Named Canyon Sam

Help fund A Woman Named Canyon Sam

Director Quentin Lee (The People I’ve Slept With) is looking for support in his latest project, the short documentary “A Woman Named Canyon Sam”. Based in San Francisco, Canyon Sam is an accomplished performance artist, published author and passionate activist. Canyon’s book Sky Train: Tibetan Women on the Edge of History received PEN America Center’s Open Book Award in 2010. Canyon Sam is also one of the first Asian American lesbian activists in the world.

Here’s more from Quentin Lee about the project:

As a filmmaker, I immediately found Canyon’s life and works compelling because of her intersecting cultural, ethnic and sexual identities. Canyon has made significant contribution to both Asian American and LGBT culture and history but few people have heard of her. So I started making a documentary with Canyon.

“A Woman Named Canyon Sam” is finally due to world premiere at the Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival in May. I am trying to raise $3,800 to cover post-production costs such as color correction, sound mix, music licensing, digital outputs and festival expenses.

Your contribution will keep the legacy of documenting Asian American and LGBT people alive. Learn more about how to support this project here.

Just Music by Jin

Just Music by Jin

Rapper Jin unleashed a sneak peek of a new track “Just Music” off his upcoming “Sincerely Yours” mixtape. Although it’s not final, it gives you a sense of the direction he’s going in. The autobiographical song shows how music has brought him both joy and misery over the years. Much like his Say Something Mixtape, Jin uses music to convey a message. He doesn’t write songs just so he can write songs. Jin understand that it has the power to lift up and bring down.

He’s had several song with similar topics including Beautiful Story and Say Something. We can’t wait for his “Sincerely Yours” mixtape.

Lyrics to Just Music by Jin

it’s quite plain to see
without music I don’t know where I’d be
now I’m feelin’ like I’m finally free
but this ain’t just music to me

it can lift me up
it can bring me down
that’s why I’m turnin’ it up
I hope your listenin’ now
this ain’t just music

see me and Hiphop have quite a deep history
a relationship filled with much joy and misery
started out as strangers soon became friends
got exposed to rap music at the tender age of 10
maybe 11 but let’s not get technical
took me on a journey that I never expected to
embark on like tryin’ to see with blind eyes
no idea what was in store for me at all time flies
now I rise nearly 20 years later
pushin’ 30 my careers just goin’ into labor
what I’m tryin’ to say is no need to research
what you are witnessin’ right now is a rebirth
I don’t write songs just so I can write songs
cause the right song’s impact is quite strong
less random punchlines more great rhymes
I’m tryin’ to change lives the way God changed mine

it’s quite plain to see
without music I don’t know where I’d be
now I’m feelin’ like I’m finally free
but this ain’t just music to me

it can lift me up
it can bring me down
that’s why I’m turnin’ it up
I hope your listenin’ now
this ain’t just music

music can be a platform for self expression
how to overcome struggle learnin’ life lessons
even though to just fall back is so temptin’
I’m all about movin’ forward progression
reality is just somethin’ that you can’t deny
it can make you laugh and it can make you cry
the lies are often unseen by the naked eye
and they’ll sell you anything just to make you buy
quiet as keep we influenced heavily
overlookin’ lyrics busy caught up in the melody
next thing you know you naturally sing along
deep down you realize that something is wrong
blindfolded mind is bein’ molded
but it ain’t your fault the only thing promoted
on the regular contents flooded with nonsense
so the question remains can you hear your conscience?

it’s quite plain to see
without music I don’t know where I’d be
now I’m feelin’ like I’m finally free
but this ain’t just music to me

it can lift me up
it can bring me down
that’s why I’m turnin’ it up
I hope your listenin’ now
this ain’t just music

they say it’s just music but I know better
once upon a time I would listen to whatever
now I know never underestimate the power
it’s eatin’ up my soul I ain’t tryin’ to be devoured
yeah yeah it can lift me up
yeah yeah and it can bring me down
yeah that’s why I’m turnin’ it up
yeah yeah I hope your listenin’ now

it’s quite plain to see
without music I don’t know where I’d be
now I’m feelin’ like I’m finally free
but this ain’t just music to me

it can lift me up
it can bring me down
that’s why I’m turnin’ it up
I hope your listenin’ now
this ain’t just music
