I felt it when I wrote the words. Vincent felt it when he read them (and was compelled to write hot, throbbing music). And Ruthie felt it when she heard the song (and was compelled to create a tasty video montage of vintage bump and grind).
If you don’t feel it, you need hormone supplements.
Vincent puts his creatively uncommon music up on the Web under a Creative Commons license. Somehow Ruthie found it and made a creatively uncommon music video for our song Under Her Dress.
Although this is his first music video, it’s not the first time Vincent’s music has been used by others. It’s been picked out of the haystack that is the Internet and bundled in a Linux release, used by college students in their film project, put on a startup’s website, and used in the soundtrack of a movie about snowboarding, among other things.

I wrote the poem—with fridge magnets—right after I’d decided to move to Paris to be with Vincent…
You can also listen to the song and play with the nifty music player Vincent made on his site. Needless to say, he gets a lot of hits on Under Her Dress on his website. (Buncha pervs. Speaking of which, this is the post I get the most hits on. Buncha pervs.)
But who am I to talk? ;-)
Thanks Ruthie!
I just loved the way it invoked a feeling of “innocence lost” ;-)
Hi Peter. I hadn’t noticed that myself, but it does have that element in it too! Thanks for listening and commenting!
