Description: Lyrics & info here ((try with headphones)) - Stereo info further below.A couple years ago I saw a show about past generation lesbian woman, with interviews.Two women probably in their 80's were telling how they had lived the picture of normality, marrying men (who never knew) and raising children with them. The two women had met each other late in life, after their husbands had died, and in those much more relaxed and understanding times had decided to become partners and stop living a lie.One of the women talked about she had grown to really love their husband as the father of their children, as a person, and in many ways a life partner - but that she could never really love him completely or feel true love for him.So I called this Selfless because that's what hit me most about these woman, or I guess really anyone who lives a lie.Not because they act selfless, though they might be. But selfless in that they have, through their life, negotiated away their self and have nothing left there.I think we have all taken at least a few steps down that road.And I guess some of us had no other road at all.Lyrics:---------------------------------------- SelflessThink I was born knowing how to lieand seems like half a life since IAmended my evil ways, but the guilt only growswith time and after all, I can still slide the lie:I love you I love you with all my heart.Not to say things aren't what they seemSpend your life believing a dreamNot for me - real lies replace dreamsdreams and hold me awake, here's a little taste:I love you I love you with all my heart.Too late for me to stop it nowI've gone too far too long any howDeceiving you until the end of yourlife - it's the price for being born to lieI love you I love you with all my heart.---------------------------------------Sorry for the lack of live video.. this one was a project, and I am new to music editing and stuff. I didn't want to add video editing onto it yet. Plus stereo conversions generally mean image quality is going to take a huge hit.There's a cleaner version on my shiny new myspace page:http://www.myspace.com/isodig------------------------------------------------------------------------------Making Stereo Videos------------------------------------------------------------------------------Special thanks and props go to the brilliant doctorcastille:http://www.youtube.com/user/doctorcas...He worked out how to best upload higher quality sound, even stereo, and it's a boon for the youtube musician community.Conversions and formats and editing:---------------------------------------My videos are usually MPG's and they get converted to WMV by Windows Movie Maker (which is free with XP - Hit your START button: Start-All Programs-Accessories-Entertainment). And that WMV (windows movie format) file is what I normally upload. For stereo though, you want to convert it one more time to an FLV (Flash Video) file.To make this video (in Windows Movie Maker) I just pasted in the audio track (mp3, that I created using Audacity, a free sound recording/mixing/editing package, google it to get for free, or hit eBay for CD's with effects and stuff bundled in for a few bucks). With audio set, I then added pictures, so there was no starting video (MPG file) like usual, but when I was done the process was the same - Save Movie File as small high quality output. And of course th output was a WMV file.For stereo, though, here's the basic steps:---------------------------------------- Get a copy of 'Any Converter Professional' (google it, it's free as long as you are converting things under 3 minutes).- Use it to convert your video file to FLV (you have to select that as your output type), and then upload that to youtube.You could use another converter to create an FLV file. If you find one that works well, I would love to know about it.Note:Eddie629 sent me a note about Xilisoft FLV Converter...it has a limit time of 5 minutes in their trial instead of 3 minutes and it actually seemed to do a better job with the video in my quick and un-uploaded test.It's here:http://www.xilisoft.com/flv-converter...Eddie is awesome, his profile is here:http://www.youtube.com/Eddie629Post note on this - I couldn't get it to work. Probably because I couldn't get the settings right, or maybe I should have tried a different input video, but I kept getting invalid file. Any Converter Pro still works though. If you do get the Xilisoft working, please let me know.Notes:---------------------------------------The final FLV file must be under 100MB in size, or Youtube won't take it. To get the file size smaller, you will likely have to give up some video quality. You can also give up some audio quality (lower the sampling rate), but it's not going to save as much space.In this case, I guess my flv conversion did change the audio somewhat. I uploaded the original MP3 on myspace and to me it sounds better. Or maybe it's streamed differently(?) - plus there was also the Windows Movie Maker conversion when I saved to WMV file and that might have made the difference. Still learning.---------------------------------------('Selfless' Copyright (C) 2007, All Rights Reserved.)
