Make the Grade is a VideoSong, a new medium with 2 rules:
1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).
2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).
(Note: some of the VideoSongs for this album were filmed a year ago, and that makes it difficult to be certain about some audio/video syncing questions. The intention was to be 100% accurate and to follow the VideoSong rules, but I thought I should add this disclaimer in an attempt to be completely transparent)

Make the Grade, by Jack Conte
Lyrics:
Somewhere at the bottom of the ocean
I am floating past the algae,
the whale bones, so pretty,
but my body
still didn't make the grade,
still didn't make the grade.
Somewhere in the basement I once had
a good idea but I can't find it.
My mind is drawing blanks
to fill the page,
but I still won't make the grade,
still won't make the grade.
I'm regaining patience
in the better half of man,
and the stories we'll remember
are from a different hand.
Somewhere at the bottom of my brain
I just don't care and I don't want to.
But I do, anyway...
anyway, I
still won't make the grade,
still won't make the grade.
I'm regaining patience
in the better half of man,
and the stories we'll remember
are from a different hand.
Somewhere at the bottom of the ocean
I am floating past the algae,
the whale bones, so pretty,
but my body
still won't make the grade...
still won't make the grade...
still won't make the grade.
