'Mistress' and 'loved one' are not mutually exclusive, but 'loved one' is inclusive of a much wider range of relations, so yeah, I took the liberty. Youtube lets you change the playback speed of the video, to better see the quick cut still shots or just goof on Buck's facial expressions. I made myself laugh. I'm wondering how to get the video in front of a larger audience, and I wonder if people who have no idea who anybody in the video is would be interested in seeing it and listening to the tune. Is anyone playing just the audio on the big streamers? Any feedback from this crowd would be helpful as I am thrust into the role of promoting my own self. Buck, I have pushed it out on my Facebook and instagram pages, and asked my friends / family to share and encourage that as well with theirs, but, like most of us, I am a really, really, really small social media potato and those are my only platforms. Can anyone think of anything else we can all do to get it circulating to reach a larger audience? I’ll throw a crazy idea out there… I was thinking maybe a “Solo Buck Dharma mini tour”.. Highlighting some of this and other new BD music, older concept music, acoustic BOC and some of “Flat out” as well. I saw John Waite do it last year and I thought he was fantastic. Was a mix of acrostic, Bad English, Babys and his own new/old stuff. He brought down the house. I immediately thought, if Buck did this I believe it would be AWESOME! Not “SOBAKING” here but I really think it could draw a lot of fans and attendance in small to medium venues like the Kent Stage (642 seats) here in Ohio where I live. Acts like Lindsay Buckingham, Dave Mason, Jonah Koslin, Ani DiFranco, Stephen Stills, Tom Paxton, Joan Baez, Richie Havens, Bo Diddley, Melanie, Janis Ian, Loudon Wainwright III, Livingston Taylor, Nickel Creek, John Gorka, David Wilcox, Al Stewart, Leo Kottke, Pete Best, Leon Redbone, Vassar Clements, John Cowan, Little Feat, etc have been packing the place every week for a few years now. I just saw Donnie Iris there and he was outstanding! I think with the unfortunate, and total demise of real rock and roll, and todays unlistenable pop music, people of “our generation” want to see acts that take them back to a better time. And Buck, through your music, talent and legacy you take us back to a much, much better time! “The end of every song” is a fantastic example of just that! Another thought is: How can we engage a social media “influencer” to take it viral? Is there a classic rock social media influencer out there that anyone knows of that could be nudged to promote it? I know that there is no shortage of idiotic influencers making an ass ton of money being stupid, but there has to be someone legit. Right? Sorry if I sound crazy or I am out of my depth here. Just my two cents..

Facebook took down my link to the video, saying I violated some outside link violation… Hmm .i better check my links then. That’s what I dislike about Facebook. Pull whatever they think/want whether it makes sense or not.. Unless they think it benefits them! We need to find a higher social media way to get this video out there. I’m going to text you Agent Chuck.. Oh and thanks for the kind words on fb

Buck, I can't believe you left out Gene Frenkle! Look again, Gene is in there. Both the video and the credits on the endofeverysong.com website. I wasn't gonna forget how important Gene was to the band's success! Bruce Dickinson either!

Facebook took down my link to the video, saying I violated some outside link violation… I'm learning that platforms don't want you to embed links that leave their place. Just post the title, artist and say it's up on YouTube, I think that's permitted.

I suggest you do The Michael Berry Show!
The Czar (of talk radio), his Morning Show makes The Redneck Country Club live on

I think adding it to playlists helps with the promotional algorithms. Same with likes and comments on YouTube. I would suggest everyone here could leave a review for the song on iTunes and Amazon. I’ll do that, been trying to think of some eloquent things to say. You might have to buy the song to leave a review - but hey, it’s 99 cents. BD, you could send the vid to YouTubers and podcasters that have interviewed you in the past. Maybe those that haven’t, as well.

I frequent another music board quite a bit, and someone had already posted a link to the video. Someone else commented (besides liking the song and the video) that he wished there was a way to identify all of the folks in the video. Enter me…so I sent him to the endofeverysong.com site, so he could go through and identify who’s who.

As noted by Rob in a recent post, I as well have listened multiple times on Amazon and Spotify, Pandora and is on my playlists.. I have hit the You Tube as well more then a few.. I can't get enough of the song and to watch the video.. Even if one does not know the faces ( I only know a few) it still puts me in a trance when watching.. I think watching it would only make one seriously listen and even maybe think deeper into the song. I think a person not knowing faces would still love this video..It is a song that I can actually block out all that is around me and deeply watch it. . I myself watch it as Buck produced it. It is of pure quality and perfection. I am going to head in and add a comment if I can figure that part out . I also think the credits website is such a plus. It lets us see actually second by second see who is who if they do not know or 'think' we know.. I can't say enough about this Video/song. Just my opinion

I'm listening to the audio only version on Spotify when I'm driving. Anything to help get the numbers up. I don't do social media other than LinkedIn which I use to keep up with business contacts mostly, and a few friends. Guess I'll have to make my very first original post about "The End of Every Song"! For what its worth, I am pestering my friends and family who are on social media to listen, watch, comment, and share all they can!

To zero in on the still shots I broke the video into its 8,146 individual frames, each as an image file. Just need to make an Excel cheat sheet with your time stamps pointing to the range of corresponding file names. Then just view the relevant individual image. Don't ask! (My wife wants to see the what/who the picts are of but has no patience trying to find them and I have no patience doing that for her. Now I should be able to step through things quickly with her. Don't ask on this part either!)
As for broadening the audience, you've been able to get invited (or have invited yourself ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ) into a number of podcasts and interviews lately. The interviews seem to get cloned and spread from site to site. You've mentioned in a few that you were working on a new song. Maybe you can invite yourself to follow up on that subject??? Pointing out where people can hear it/watch it of course! {I just now saw the robreich suggested some of this a few posts up}
Ritchie has played a part in the creation. Any way he can give you some plugs via the Band Geeks? I dunno.
Don't take this seriously in any way shape of form, but it seems to work for certain others. Do something centered around the song just naughty enough to get yourself arrested and plastered all over the news rags. Let them pay for the publicity. Please don't go with anything "mistress" themed though for obvious reasons.

Buck has mentioned that he wants DFTR to be played at his service. I wanted it to be mine as well. My mind has definitely changed. This song hits me in so many ways. I picture my friends that would be in the video.
