Everyman, the metre, rhyme and emphasis is all really well done.

In my opinion, though, itā€™s let down by the accompanying music, which doesnā€™t match the tempo/volume of the words. This might be an audio issue with Dailymotion.

I think Right Said Fred might well be interested in your piece (with regard to musical arrangement). It might be worth contacting them. Theyā€™re really nice guys.

Hi Rob, thanks so much for taking the time to listen and give some feedback. I agree 100% with your comment, I recorded the song in one 10 1/2 minute take with one acoustic guitar on a Zoom H4 and it shows! Iā€™ll try and contact Right Said Fred, Iā€™d love some established musicians to record the song.

cheers!

Great stuff, E! Shows what a small group of ordinary joes can do even with the small means at our disposal, to have a disproportionate effect on the collective mind. Keep pushing it, bro! Well done!

PS: Liked the way the lyrics were subtitled, otherwise people with my defective hearing acuity might not have got them.

Thanks Rhis! thatā€™s exactly my idea, protest in my own small way, try and influence the conceptual framework of the mass mind.

I appreciate the feedback!
E.

I think itā€™s brilliant. My only criticism is the last line in each verse of the subtitles tends to be obscured when it drops down behind the ā€œMovie Makerā€ logo/message.

Iā€™ve emailedl it to 20 really clued up friends so hopefully itā€™ll travel far and wide!

Agree with Rhis abt the subtitles.

Cheers!

Hey Rich, thanks for the support and thanks for sharing it around.

iā€™ll explain briefly about the ā€˜movie makerā€™ message. Having an old computer with no movie maker on it I searched and downloaded the first movie maker I saw. I laboriously did the lyrics, not knowing how to do them non laboriously, and then clicked to ā€˜make the filmā€™, and not until THEN did I get the message that the film would be created with a watermark, unless I paid ā‚¬40.

So I published it with the watermark, thinking that after I get feedback Iā€™ll do it again either buying a movie maker or finding a free one without watermark.

I agree it messes up the lyrics.

best wishes!

Philistines. (YouToob that is) Maybe it was the line about kissing Big Pharmas ring, which did make my eyes water :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Everyman, whatā€™s not widely known is that Right Said Fred (formed by brothers Fred and Richard Fairbrass) were the biggest selling British act ever in the USA - in terms of $$$, far more than even the Beatles.

Although the Bros Fairbrass are in the minority like us (and one of the few musos who have the courage to speak out) they probably get inundated with songs. I donā€™t know Fred and Richard personally, but I do know that if you can manage to get through to them they will be interested in your song.
