When the Byrds released their first album "Mr Tambourine Man", there was a liner note mentioning how odd it was that people were on the dance floor gyrating to a song about a Welsh mining disaster ("the Bells of Rhymney").
This song presents the same irony. It's fun and upbeat. You could dance to it. The topical material is tragic.
Loosely based on the demise of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, the drunken darling of the beat era. Thomas is said to have come into the Chelsea Hotel on his last day (after a particularly heavy binge at New York City's White Horse Tavern) exclaiming "I've had 18 straight whiskeys - I think that's a record!". He died of alcohol poisoning shortly thereafter.
Give infectious irony a shot. Give this a listen. Dance, maybe, and wonder why.
Excellent tunesmithing from Bristol, UK songwriter Simon Read. |

VERY POWEFUL REMIX/REARRANGEMENT 10/21/01
Powerful song about 18th century African slave trade. Collaborated effort via Interet with UK songwriter Simon Read. First person narrative about being ripped away from one's homeland. Engaging listening with an exotic beat, instruments and visual treatment of the music. A very moving, humanist song. Download this and share it with your friends. |
