Why did this YouTube video struggle?

You and I are on the same page. I cannot for nuts understand why Pony ji doesn't understand that sadness is not trending.

@TheHorse I want to see the funny video.

My next video will be quite funny. If we ever get it done.

@TheHorse It brings to me some of the sad beauty of "Hello in there."

I see it as a good version of a good song. I don't know why it tarried

@sallypup John Prine was an excellent songwriter. If some God said "You must do an album of someone's songs," I would choose John Prine. Another of my favorite John Prine songs is "Sam Stone.". Honest and raw. But @Vandana7 would veto it because it is "hella" sad.

But "Hello in There" has done well. And that's an even sadder song than this one.

@TheHorse I'd like to see you do a cover of my crappy song, "Sunny Days." It's a song that sucks and makes no sense, but it would be fun to see what you do with it.

@vandana7 Maybe he could do it then. I had a link to it but it looks like the gestapo's who think I will make millions off it deleted it. lol They are so silly over here sometimes. It's no wonder so many flew the coop. P.S. It's NOT promotional if it SUPPORTS the comment and is RELATIVE to it. For Heaven's sake! lol

I cannot quite understand these words. "Operation Ivy was close, it takes a crowd of people and until you get that crowd most songs even if they genius or most down to earth song you will ever hear, will not take off."

@TheHorse I figured, you would have to follow to understand. Musicians speak in poems so hoped that would work but figured it would not. Their song is we made a great song but without the crowd its nothing and they did it with extra juice by showing the crowd from the start and its very famous song for some and why Rancid became Rancid. Their point with no crowd, no operation ivy and because so young when things self destructed no Rancid. Its a very important song for them how you have to gain a following first in anything you do and if you not seeing it move on to something else. One of the reasons they think a band of teens which was shredding not just Northern Cali but So Cal, they were not seeing the crowd anymore due to band beefs but knew they had support from pretty much everywhere, they just needed the pieces to make it work.

I just watched a video of Jimmy Buffett and Jesse Winchester performing together. I hope those guys are jammin' in heaven. Both were able to strike a nice balance between the sad/introspective and the joyful.

Thank you. I believe my next video will reveal some of my best stinging yet. Or am I struggling from "delusions of adequacy?

@TheHorse Yeah, Sad pony would suck!

@DaddyEvil I am generally a happy happy joy joy person.

Sad is my middle name. Fortunately, it is not my fist name.

I do quite often. Especially if I am trying to learn a song.

@vandana7 Heh. I can't wait until I do an Indian song. Would you mess up a serious song with images of pretty young Indians riding dangerously through the countryside on a scooter singing to each other?

@LindaOHio We did them together, as usual. I let Vanny have her way on my piano piece, Little Bird. She actually did a nice job.

@vandana7 Who did the slides on this one? They looked different than the usual. Have a good day.

Yeppers. I'll attribute it to the "randomness factor."

@porwest Maybe it's "clever" in some ways. Have I heard it?

@TheHorse It's like with my song Pink Flamingoes (misspelled on purpose). I thought it was one of the weirdest, strangest songs I have ever written, and yet...to this day it gets the most spins of any of them. I can't figure it out.

We haven't posted anything new recently, so views are down. But we hope to have a new one coming out soon.

@TheHorse one need to post regularly to hold his/her audience. Consistency is also a key as per my view.
