Hard Day’s Night – Beatles

Total Beatles Classic!

Hard Day’s Night – Beatles

It’s been a hard day’s night, and I’ve been working like a dog
It’s been a hard day’s night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright

You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
And it’s worth it just to hear you say you’re going to give me everything
So why on earth should I moan, ’cause when I get you alone
You know I feel OK

When I’m home everything seems to be right
When I’m home feeling you holding me tight, tight

It’s been a hard day’s night, and I been working like a dog
It’s been a hard day’s night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright, oww

So why on earth should I moan, ’cause when I get you alone
You know I feel OK

When I’m home everything seems to be right
When I’m home feeling you holding me tight, tight

It’s been a hard day’s night, and I been working like a dog
It’s been a hard day’s night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I feel alright
You know I feel alright

The Greatest Hero – James Purdie

This song was inspired by someone who gave me some pure love-energy when I needed it.  

A cute song to celebrate the transforming power of love! True Love can make heroes of us all. But would you go to planet Mars for your True Love? And is the highest kind of love a trans-dimensional type of experience like the 4th Dimension. Can it open portals? What kind of cosmic chemistry can occur between people? For some love is like looking into a dream come true. Indeed love is one the greatest mysteries in the Universe.

Special Thanks to my usual circle of friends who I use for constant feedback, Curtis Good and Brian Wiltse.

Greatest Hero – James Purdie

For you I would drive into Ocean.
For you I could find all the emotion.
For you I would be the greatest hero in the world.
The greatest hero!

For you I could fight a fearsome dragon.
For you I would drive that crazy wagon.
For you I would be the greatest hero in the world.
The greatest hero!

For you I could climb the highest mountain.
For you I would the eternal fountain.
For you I would be the greatest hero in the world.
The greatest hero!

For you I would drink a magic potion.
For you I could swim across the ocean.
For you I would be the greatest hero in the world.
The greatest hero!

The Bondaygee Song

This is a special song for me though very simple because it’s where I got the whole “Bondaygee” idea from.  Check out the Bondaygee Story here.

The Bondaygee Song – James Purdie

Bondaygee Bondaygee! Students: “Bondaygee!” 

Bondaygee Bondaygee! Students: “Bondaygee!”

My favorite thing in the world to eat,

Is the sweet little bondaygee treat.

I’d like to eat it everyday if I could.

But my mother doesn’t think that I should

So I sing, “Bondaygee bondaygee” …………….bondaygee!

(I) went to the market for something to eat

There was a strange smell in the air.

I bought a cup and started to eat

That strange little bondaygee treat.

So I sing, “Bondaygee bondaygee” …………….bondaygee!

The World Stops – Brad Hampton

The Worlds Stops by Brad Hampton 

Here’s another sweet video we did for Kamloops recording artist Brad Hampton back in 2010.  Here once again I teamed up with Curtis Good for an excellent script, which really speaks for itself.  This is a very powerful song which we felt ought to be in film! So we did it!  I’m surprised Brad hasn’t already shot to stardom with this amazing song.  Here’s the lyrics and the story behind the song in Brad’s own words: Continue reading “The World Stops – Brad Hampton”

All Along The Longboard (Comedy) Filmed in 4K

All Along The Long-board

All along the long board is a comical script by my co-producer Curtis Good.  We work on a lot of projects together.

We modified it a lot together to try and include some spiritual elements, (one of my main life objectives) that would cause the viewer to question the mundane reality we live imposed on humanity. I have a special “soul story” Continue reading “All Along The Longboard (Comedy) Filmed in 4K”
