Slowpaw Hat (Seven Deadly Sins collab promo)

Views: 257
Slowpaw Hat - the sad story of a wealthy man who dropped from a very great height and found himself alone and homeless walking the streets, his only precious possessions became his faithful pet cat, his cigar box guitar and a hat given by a concerned passer by in the rain...The Police call homeless people "Walkers".The song is my "Pride" submission for merle's "Seven Deadly Sins" collaboration album due out in a few weeks. Forgive my crude attempt at animation, though it kind of has its own naive charm!

    thanks for submitting it to the 7sins album.

  • Hey man, I love all vids with cats as main characters!! BTW, great song, Steve.

  • yeah will definately include it in next year's setlist, (but the double track vocals could be a problem! )

    ...it'll have 'em dancing! (-;

  • Nice tune Steve, and I like the vid its not crude it fits the song its honest like the recording.
