Stop Saying 1984 to Make a Point (Official Music Video) by Cosmic Bos

 Hello lovely friends,

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.

Peace and infinite love

Cosmic Bos - Bos Live #2 (2022)

 Hey!

Click Play!


Hello you,

Nice to see you here, how's it going?

In 2022, Nick and Andy worked on some really fun, exciting projects, and it seemed fitting to close out the year with a little acoustic performance of a selection of the years songs made by Cosmic Bos.

Also, the boys did a cover of a Dan Wilson song, Dancing on the Moon, which was Baby Theo's favourite song on the year (he made us play it to him lots and lots). There had been plans for a whole 'Dan Wilson' special, but alas, time got the better of us and the idea has been put back on the shelf to be revisited at a later date (WE LOVE YOU DAN WILSON - you are an inspiration)

False Promises (Cosmic Bos Mix) - Andrew Hartshorn ft. Natalie Williams Calhoun (Official Lyric Video)

 Happy December friends,


Amazing artwork by Gecko
False Promises (Cosmic Bos Mix) - Andrew Hartshorn ft. Natalie Williams Calhoun, vocalled and remixed by Cosmic Bos

Taken from Cosmic Bos Virtual Normality 2

False Promises is originally a song on Andrew Hartshorn's album Movie House, which featured Natalie Williams Calhoun's sublime Cello playing. Cosmic Bos liked the song, so Andy wrote lyrics and a melody, recorded it with Nick, sent it to Andrew, and then Nick added Bass and Drums (and a couple of other things), and we called it a Bos Mix.

Video shot on a rainy day by Andy out of his front room window.

Available on all good internet platforms, you might even find it in the meta verse, but if you like bandcamp then we suggest this link right here
