Having Words With Nature - Cosmic Bos (Official Music Video)

So friends,

Lockdown, fun isn't it?
No, no it isn't.
Especially not for Nature, she is finding it a right pain in the roots.

So there you have it, our little interpretation of the current situation with nature in music/visual form.

Video starring Andrea Jackson as the Spirit of the Forest, and Nick Jackson as the Rubber Gloved Guard. The song is taken from our 13th Improv album which is available in all good book stores.

We here at Cosmic Bos take nature very seriously, it's secretly in our very name ('Bos' means Forest in Dutch), and when we are deep in our improv space plucking musical nuggets from the ethereal trees, Nature is always there guiding us, it's in our very blood and bones, it stimulates our senses and gives us context to understand the most sacred thing we all hold dear, life.

Having Words With Nature was a set of lyrics that Andy provided for the improv session. Here they are in full for your reading pleasure.

Ive been having words with nature again
She's fine, but half the time, she pretends
Our actions aren't that easy to defend
Screaming meanings hardly justifies the ends

She Provides us, she protects us
For some reason, she still accepts us
So let's all show some respect
We've got to give before we get

I've been having words with nature once more
She's fine, but half the time, she's feeling like our whore
Shouts the safe words while we pin her to the floor
And strip her for resources, a casualty of human forces

She provides us, she protects us
For some reason, she still accepts us
So let's all show some respect
We've got to give before we get

I've been having words with nature today
She's fine, but that's a lie, she wants the pain to go away
The constant torture, isn't fun in any way
She wants just to be the wonder where we play

CHORUS

Making it Up as We Go Along Part 7 (Final part) - Season 2 so far

So friends,

We have reached the final instalment of our documentary about ourselves, here it is:


Making It Up As We Go Along - A Cosmic Bos Documentary

This has been a labour of love the whole way, as you can no doubt tell from the video, we have enjoyed it immensely, it's silly and fun, and we are excited to continue, there is still much deeper to go on this journey and we hope that you join us, no matter how far it goes (it will probably only get sillier rather then darker, we tend to prefer the weird to the macabre)

Well, as far as the future is concerned as of now:

We are busy squirrelling away on the next episode, Ep.13: Cosmeta Bosette Returns, which features the return of the Meta Cassette line up to the Bos lands (after Episode 8: Cosmeta Bosette - from way back in 2019, ahh memories), we have already honeyed in on the singles, and a pair of exciting video's are currently working their way down the cosmic pipeline.

Oh yeah, and we have one final video to go with Ep.12, for the song 'All Weather Umbrella', which we will likely drop next week, coz, you know, that's how we roll.

Thanks for being amazing,

Peace and infinite love
Cosmic Bos

Flashes - Cosmic Bos (Official Music Video)

Happy daze dear friends,

Oh what a spin out it is, or it isn't, I don't have the faintest idea, I am but a humble improv musician with a podcast under my arm and a tune in my heart, adventuring out to the kitchen for much needed sustenance in these troubling times, oh, for one could never survive without snacks, this lockdown be built on snacks.

Anyway, introduction got away from me there, back to proceedings.

I present to you our latest video offering ; Flashes


The song 'Flashes' is from Cosmic Bos Improv-revisation Ep.12: Ash, Stax & Charlie
Hear the whole episode on our website (or you can scroll down this blog, it's here somewhere)
https://cosmicbos.libsyn.com

The video was possibly our laziest offering to date, as it was quite simply a locked off shot of an mp3 speaker that we did some editing trickery to, which reminds me, the video was directed by Andy Jackson, edited by Nick Jackson and filmed on location at Castle Stax, home of our special guest on Ep.12 - Mr. Donny Stax (Check him out, he's a certified legend, I've seen the Certificate!)

The song Flashes is really a work of piano genius from the legend Ashley Carter, with some splashing vocals and guitars fleshing it out, fleshing out them flashes.

I hope you have enjoyed your time here with this blog, it is a work of passion rather then a work of work, we here at Cosmic Bos make no money for our musical output, currently, but it does seem possible in this ever changing landscape that the time of the improv music is coming, and our particular brand of home made musical leanings might find a bigger audience. Here's to that future, and being rich in all the ways that matter, stay safe and beautiful

Andy (Cosmic Bos)

P.S - Here's a playlist of all of previous videos (and future videos as it will update as life goes on, so depending on when you a reading this, it will be a different song, I propose a game, just to make the blog a bit more interactive' - post a comment saying what song is on the front of this here playlist, when you have visited this blog. This will be interesting, see if anyone from the future reads this.)

Cosmic Dosh! - Send us all your money :D (and part 6 of the documentary)

Hellooooo, Jethro here.

I've taken over Andy's blog for the time being, since he's busy doing music things and I am just sitting around eating all the honey, and currently that's not a problem, because bees count as key workers right? I'm sure they do, Key Bee Workers around the world are still busy making that sweet sweet honey. Hooray.

So anyway, I'm actually meant to be introducing the GoFundMe page that I've set up so you can send me all your money. And here it is!

Cosmic Bos GO FUND ME link

It said I could embed it, but it didn't work, so you'll have to just click the link I'm afraid. Sorry about that, it's hard to work all this modern human technology with my small monkey hands, so you'll have to forgive me.

Anyway, all your money can be sent to me finally, just as you've always wanted to do. I promise it will be spent wisely, I know a thing or two about spending money, I've been doing it for years, years and years, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that I have managed to spend ALL the money that I have had, I've even managed to spend some other monkeys money. Now let me show you how good I can be at spending your money.

Right, well with all that monkey business out the way, time to move on to the special presentation of this blog, the real reason you might be here, here for the pleasure of your eyes and ears (and any other sense that responds to documentary footage of a bunch of idiots), I present to you Cosmic Bos Making it Up as We Go Along Part 6: Recording the Podcast.

So yep, it's a podcast, starring ME (Jethro) and to a lesser extent Jeffrey and Nick. Except the last episode, episode 12, that was hosted by Treeman, it was a Treeman takeover, because of these lockdown times. we were not able to get together and record our classic banter about nothing in particular. Hopefully this Corona business will conclude soon and we can get back to doing it together again, but until then, we will make do won't we? What else can we do?
Oh yeah, send us all your money, that's what you could do... I'll just leave that honey link here again, just in case you missed it above...

SEND ALL YOUR MONEY HERE

Thanks for your eyes, love you
Bye!
Jethro
