Kevin Walsh Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 (edited) Here's another one from the reject pile. I wrote this and did the balance of the recording in 2019 but for some reason I so loathed this song that I put it from my mind and promptly forgot about. I ran across it this week and thought, gee, that doesn't suck too terribly bad. I know it's a bit rough around the edges but I don't think it deserves the derision I mentally heaped upon it. Anyway, here it is, The Show. Update: My apologies for reviving this, but I had neglected to post the updates based on feedback. I've adjusted the mix to tame the snare and actually ended up changing the drum set. I've also brought back some guitar bits that I had inadvertently left out of the last mix. Thank you all for listening and critiquing, it's been a fun learning experience. the show kevin walsh 10/23/2019 they always come at night just before the closing invoking certain rights with the guns that they are holding same old show same old show just waiting for that minute when you have let your guard down and you find that they have left a candle for your take down same old show yeah they know and they always seem to know which way to go and they always know just how to make it so woah woah humiliation burns you while they carry out their shakedown and you're choking on the bits of the situation breakdown well you know yeah you know they're sifting through the bones while you hide among the ashes and they hum their little songs and the flames race up the sashes so it goes yeah so it goes and they always seem to know which way to go and they always know just how to make it so oh yeah i know there's something oh yeah there's trouble on the way yeah i'll be there in the morning oh yeah might be here to stay you handle all the setbacks and you rise above the anger but they'll always be behind you and you'll always feel the danger so it goes yeah so it goes you know there's something to it cause you read it in the paper try not to think about it save it all for later so you know so you know and they always seem to know which way to go and they always know just how to make it so Edited November 29 by Kevin Walsh 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPAREELS Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 My god M8! you actually loathed this ? You have a few gems but this ( if sang by our old hero Lennon ) would so much be in history as one of the best. As an artist I think you always underrate yourself ... or maybe it's just me ..but' don't think so ... I have heard some dross over my long years, but this bit of work is nowhere near that sht pile. Love the vocal and really good lyrics and the fact you posted them for me to read along ...Great work 👊 Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 Interestingly dark lyric, in the main the whole thing ain't bad. If I was to raise a small issue I found the snare a bit to hot and relentless, bit to in the face during the verses, just my two Triganic Pu. What do I know though. Still enjoyed the song.

Thanks for listening, as always, your critique is on the mark. I can't un-hear that snare. Must fix it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not much of a fan of it, but if JL sang it, I guarantee it would sound so much better than what I have now and I might come around. 😀 It's hard to listen to, let alone like my own music, especially when I hear the work of so many much more talented people, many of whom post regularly on this forum (yourself included). I very much appreciate you listening and your very kind comments are most welcome. It's very nice to hear that something I've done has some value to some folks.

steve@baselines.com Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 I like this a lot. The only thing I would change is the snare drum. The story fits the music and your voice is perfect. I like the harmonies as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 Hi Kevin, this is really good, apart from the snare which is a little too much, as others have already mentioned! Apart from that, great song , really enjoyed it. Cool Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
