After Ever After

This video, by John Cozart, is probably one of my favorite videos on YouTube.  In this video, he sings about what happens after the "happy endings" of the Disney princesses Ariel, Jasmine, Belle, and Pocahontas. Not only is this video hilarious, but he also brings attention to current and historical events. Hint: oil spill, terrorism, bestiality, and guns, germs, and steel. What I loved most about this video is that every beat, rhythm, or note heard in the song is all done by John himself. Everything is done acapella, and he did it all by himself.  He was very interested in music at a very young age, so his parents had him take piano lessons.  From then on he wrote his own piano music, then lyrics, and then he began to make YouTube videos in middle school.  Towards the end of high school, he began to take his videos a little more seriously.  He began to make videos about movies such as Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, but his song After Ever After is his most popular song right now.  This video took up to four months to make.  It took him three weeks to write the lyrics, and a month and a half to record the audio.  What made the process longer was having to re-record certain parts of the song. I'm glad he put so much effort into this song because this guy really has some talent.

  1. I really loved this video. Sure it hurts me in the childhood but sometimes you don't notice things until you grow up.
