The Death Of Rock N Roll (remake) (Patreon)

Hey folks,

This is a remake (& slight re-write) of an old song from my pre-Miracle Of Sound days. It's all about my wish for great rock music to regain the same universal appeal it used to have. 

I hope ye like it :) I don't usually charge for remakes but I was thinking of making a proper live action video for this one which could be quite costly. Would that be an acceptable reason to charge for this one when it's done, in your view?

The Death Of Rock N Roll  

Come on down to the city at night

And see how the people cry

Wish away the time 

To the rhythm and rhyme

Of a lifeless lullaby

And everybody wants for something

Everybody wants for more

Swimmin’ to the lands

Of the shimmerin’ sands

And we drowned just off the shore

All these voices sound the same

All that changes is the name

And I just wanna hear some music with some soul

So many sheltered shades of grey

I’m not about to mourn the death of rock’n’roll

Cast your broken shackles away

And sing like you mean it

Sing like your feeling something 

Passing the hours 

In the glittering towers 

As the valves begin to shred

Toppling down 

On top of this town

They scatter on a sea of red

And everybody needs a detour 

To get off the same old road

Take a look around

Turn your radio down 

It’s there in the lines of code

All these voices blend to one

Add the minus, come to none 

And I just wanna hear some music with some soul

So many sheltered shades of grey

I’m not about to mourn the death of rock’n’roll

Cast your broken shackles away

And sing like you mean it

Sing like your feeling something 

Everybody wants for something

Everybody wants for more

We wanna hear the jack plugs hum again 

Everybody wants for more

All these voices sound the same

All that changes is the name

And I just wanna hear some music with some soul

So many sheltered shades of grey

I’m not about to mourn the death of rock’n’roll

Cast your broken shackles away

And sing like you mean it

Sing like your feeling something 

Everybody wants for something

Everybody wants for more

We wanna hear the jack plugs hum again 

Everybody wants for more
