Yup, you read right!

3 years ago, I decided to make a feeble attempt to make my first ever JN music video playing along side the Pink Floyd classic "Wish You Were Here". But after about (if I remember right) a week of hard work, editing, and a VERY hot keyboard... my old computer crashed! Thus losing the video forever... not really.

Fortunately I saved the vid to a disc before that to give to one of my church pastors, who coincidentally IS a JN fan! Can you believe that? However due to school, family, and lazyness of making another one, I didn't ask him for the disc until late last week. And after about another week, today, when i was at a friend's BBQ / Birthday Party, my pastor happened to find it, in it's original CD case and all, and gave it to me!

It was apparent cause in recent weeks, I was really missing this video and wished to show to you guys. WHICH I can do now!

CLICKY!!!!

Hope you guys enjoy!

Very cool, Pedro!

The special effects really set the mood for the song. Great job! That's so cool that you were able to get a copy of this back after you thought it was lost to you.

Thanks, Katie.

Frankly, I first got an idea of how I wanted the video to look like when I observed the lyrics to "Wish You Were Here". Lyrically it encompasses feelings of alienation from other people and the desire to want to connect with them. It just so happens that it reminded me of Jimmy / Cindy since they're isolated / alienated by their refusal to share their feelings to one another - being that opening up and being vulnerable to someone else is so hard to do cause you're in this almost "humbling" disposition to sharing your most deepest, darkest (not depressing) thoughts and feelings. It's like being "naked" in front of someone - metaphorically speaking of course.

Though when I look at the video now, there are some parts to which I thought, "Man, this scene doesn't fit with these set of lyrics".

But for my first video, I am pleased with how it came out.

For those of you with slow connections, GREAT NEWS!

I've posted the video on YouTube!

J/C EPICNESS!!
