New Video/ Song shot with a Canon 650D. Feedback needed plea

[Muso1070]

I was kinda thinking the song is to long?
And maybe the lighting is to much making unwanted shadows?
Also is it just me or does the video look a little squeezed or something?
These are only small issues of course.

It does look a bit squeezed, but that's probably just some weird encode setting when you export the final version. Stretching vertically by about 135% will correct the aspect ratio at a slight loss of quality (depending on the source).

As for the length, lighting, etc, I would chalk those up to personal stylistic choices.

What are you editing the video with, btw?

Hi all, for anyone who enjoyed the song here are the lyrics

Tonight by Chris Keys

V.1 When will you see
what you mean to me
listen to your heart
and walk on out, from the dark.
HHHHHHHMMMMM -----------
what must i do
to make it clear to you
love is all we need
so please oh please, wait for me.

C.1 And the day will turn into the night
with you by my side to hold
and the moon beams down
over our little town
it feels so right, tonight ----------
Oh -- Oh ---------- Oh -- Oh ------------ Oh -- Oh

V.2 How can i try
to keep you on my side
believe in all you dream
and meet me somewhere in between.
HHHHHHHMMMMM -----------
One of these days
we might find our way
two lost and lonely minds
oh please oh please, oh be mine.

C.2 Repeat C.1 with 4th line:
It shines so bright, tonight -----------
Oh -- Oh ---------- Oh -- Oh ------------ Oh -- Oh
2x Oh -- Oh ---------- Oh -- Oh ------------ Oh -- Oh
