With the '22 ending imminently, it seemed only fitting to do a little cleaning out the hard drive ready for a fresh year of music and videos, which revealed a couple of music video's that had managed to skip their release windows and hide out in the hard drive. So, I present to you the first of the two missing music video's from our Judges Choice Award Winning Album - 2 A.M, It's Mission Time
Stop Saying 1984 to Make a Point
Nick and I (Andy) made music video's to go with every song from the album, when we were recording the actual record, we put camera in our faces to capture the process and give ourselves the option to make music videos for 10 out of the 12 tracks on the album. We had to make proper music videos for 'Catch a Clue' and 'Patient Mystery' as they had not been constructed musically using our special Improv Squared technique.
We felt this was the weakest song on the record, which is why it got skipped over in favour of the next video on the release schedule. It's not a bad song, but it's a bit barebones and could do with a bit more musical muscle, which ironically makes the song much like the protagonist of the book 1984.
Still, it made the album final tracklist, and sits proudly alongside it's musical brothers and sister on 2 A.M.
Here's the Youtube version should you prefer it
Coming tomorrow will be 'Closed to the Public', the final song from the album, along with a roundup of the year blog, Thanks for coming on this adventure with us, we love you very much.
Essentially this video is like a family holiday video, set to a song from our award winning album, Baby Theo returns to the spotlight for some exploring of a Welsh beach and a Welsh castle ruins, with his dad (Nick) and grandad (Dave) watching over him as he explores and learns.
Shot in August 2022 in a secret location in Wales UK

Here is the Youtube version as well should you wish to click it
2 A.M, it's Mission Time was made as part of the Lights and Lines Album Writing Challenge from May 2022. Cosmic Bos submitted a 12 track album and were lucky enough to pick up a Judges Choice Award for their efforts.
The song that kicks the record off is Re:Mission, and it is about Cosmic Bos taking up the challenge, and pulling their socks up to get it done, Mission Time style.
Here are the lyrics :)
RE:MISSION - by Andy Jackson
We’ve got a world to save, it won’t save itself It’s mission time, put down the wine The only cause worth fighting for Nature calls we can’t ignore The ceilings glass but so’s the floor
Stop conserving superstitions Evolution in remission, switch position Mind expanding new decisions Hope can soon be in remission, it will be okay
Economic crisis looming from tiktok booming We stopped consuming Constant resourcing from dwindling sources Held together with glue from horses
Stop conserving superstitions Evolution in remission, quick petition Mind expanding fresh decisions Gia could soon be in remission, she will be okay But for us, it’s too soon to tell
We can choose between help or oh well The garden of Eden or the gates of Hell The myth is we’re powerless and under their spell But truth be told, we are bold, out of our shell
Stop preserving superstitions Evolution in remission, no commission Mind expansive clear decisions Love could well be in remission, new nutrition Stop in-sighting inquisitions Growth through learning, is our mission, best position Mind expanding not demanding Get your hand in, reply mission, oh yes we're in
...
Quite a fun one. Here's the Bandcamp link again in case you missed it further up.
Music by Andy Jackson, Nick Jackson and Joe Philogene.
