In the old days, low-budget productions were usually limited to a few locations. But with the advent of digital backgrounds, at little or no cost, you can move the action to scores of settings. This happens with fascinating artistry in Jeremy Massa’s “First Time for Everything.” In addition to directing, Massa sings in this kaleidoscopic three-minute rap video. The backgrounds range from realistic (a merry-go-round, a gun shop) to nostalgic (an ancient computer screen) to surreal (a graphical cityscape). The imagery is terrific, but it does not upstage Massa’s clever lyrics (pasted in below) and masterful performance.
You can learn more about Jeremy Massa (aka Nerdy Jerm) on Facebook, on YouTube, and on LinkedIn. his website. His performance of “First Time for Everything” at his wedding gives an additional perspective.

Lyrics of “First Time for Everything”
There’s a first time for everything
Haven’t had a history of happy songs when I sing
That’s exactly what you bring
And You’ve Got Me On A String
So I guess I gotta change something
Wham Bam
Satnam
Shanti Om
And No I didn’t Know
That that’s how you spell lexpro
Hey Babe
Can you do me a fav
And keep it down so I can meditate
I’d like to be less cray cray
“Fourteen Days To Flatten The Curve”
Guess We’re Watching Re-Runs of Planet Earth
Not allowed to go to work
ADHD has got me feeling like I’m gonna burst
Create some coping methods while the world is at it’s worst
Breath in Breathe Out
Sacre Cacao
Burn Your Intentions and
Believe they’re happening Right Noe
“There’s A First Time….”
My Chakras need to be aligned
So grab selenite
Wind Chimes
Turn on the night LIght
Alien abductions always come as a surprise
I’ve got an appreciation
Is now a good time
Hit up a vortex
Manifesting from the cortex
Aw heck
We should have some More….
Sophisticated conversations
Concentrating on the destinations
Find the patience
While I’m working on Communication
Breathe In
Breathe Out
And Believe It’s Happening Right Now…
There’s A First Time For Everything….
This couldn’t have come at a better time
Information Uploading in terra bytes
I process like a Commodore 64
Keeping up the pace when you’re feeling the pressure
Running Through a race when there’s inclement weather
Sheltering in place and embrace
Cause they’re telling us
There’s something in the air
So you better stay right where you are
So I’ll be where you are…
