How do you make a music video with an introvert that they actually enjoyed making and can even stand to watch? Filmed one peaceful morning as the sun came up at The Nest in Metchosin. With much thanks to the Methvins for the shared joy.

JOHN 20:20 - Reid Jamieson

This is not a greatest hits - this is a prophetic love letter from the past. From one of the world's best known artists, by one of Canada’s most underrated singer songwriters. A uniquely tender tribute to honour what would have been John Lennon’s 80th birthday (Oct 9), and the 40th anniversary of his murder (Dec 8) - as if 2020 wasn't hard enough to take. This project began as a prescription from Reid’s wife and creative partner, to help him stave off intense depression as his career hopes were crushed by a global pandemic. Reid found solace in the hauntingly relevant words of one of his greatest influences - not just in music - but in his commitment to love. Maybe you will too. Stripped naked with only nylon string guitar, uke, harmonica and heartbreakingly pure vocals, it includes 7 solo John Lennon songs, 1 Beatles, and one eulogy by Elton John. Amore Solum Opus Est. https://reidjamieson.com/john2020/

People say I'm crazy
Doin' what I'm doin'
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings
To save me from ruin
When I say that I'm okay
Well, they look at me kinda strange
Surely you're not happy now
You no longer play the game
People say I'm lazy
Dreamin' my life away
Well, they give me all kinds of advice
Designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doin' fine
Watchin' shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time, boy?
You're no longer on the ball
I'm just sittin' here watchin' the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer ridin' on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
People askin' questions
Lost in confusion
Well, I tell them there's no problem
Only solutions
Well, they shake their heads
And they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sittin' here doin' time
I'm just sittin' here watchin' the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer ridin' on the merry-go-rounds
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
