Feb 2022 live-one-take collab
David sent me these lyrics a while back. I played it once it came out very punky and noisy(I didn't even let him hear it) and just felt like a punk cover of another song so I figured I'd save it for fawm and try again.
Now granted if left to my own devices for a little while with this it could and would very easily end up punky and noisy again, but this is just a live one take I just trimmed the edges of, so pardon all my errant tamborine stomping.
Your Kiss and The Radio David L Graham
Mozart never played the blues
But he knew about the moonlight
Maybe he never held a guitar
But he knew the heart and the night
But who needs conversation
With the music down low
so who needs conversation
with your lips and the radio
So, nada...and so true
Your kiss and the radio
Dylan never lost his rhyme
But he got lost a time or two
Maybe he never learned a roadmap
But he sure had a big world view
But who needs conversation
With the music down low
so who needs conversation
with your lips and the radio
So, nada...and so true
Your kiss and the radio
That radio and your body are drowning out all my thoughts
Right now all I know and want to know is
Your Kiss and The Radio

Nice! I just came from listening to the B-Side, I really like both versions and the contrast. Reminder how a great lyric can be interpreted in so many different ways and each can be a great song (Bob Dylan is a great example of that, remember seeing him once when I didn't recognize a single song until he started singing the lyrics, the whole show was reinterpretations of his classics).
@ductapeguy Mar 2022
I came here from the B side. This version is lovely, the gentle electric picking allows the story to come through so well, but I must say I prefer the B-side.
@mctown Feb 2022
Wow... thanks for all the kind comments...and listens.
@vaughan Feb 2022
Wonderfully dreamy!!
@ballyhoot Feb 2022
I liked this song. Nice lyrics and I liked the stripped down approach, but I could definitely hear some potential for additional instruments. Really liked the refrain, "Your Kiss and the radio." I started off getting a strange acoustic Guns and Roses vibe, but then it morphed into a David Bowie feel and then quickly to a Bob Dylan feel, which is funny since almost immediately after I was thinking "Dylanesque," that Dylan line popped out. Anyway, good collab and nice song. Thanks for sharing!
@elesimo Feb 2022
Really nice performance, I like the nakedness of the guitar/voice/tambourine, it sounds very genuine. And the lyrics are clever... really solid song, I love it!
@potentialspam Feb 2022
This is really cool. Really stripped down sound, interesting lyrics, and the tone on the guitar is awesome. 10/10 would listen again!
@mrblitz000 Feb 2022
sounds like some kind of modulation on the acoustic guitar? just a bit of a 'detuned' sense. whatever it is, it sounds good. overall it reminds me very much of marc bolan.
@gardeningangel1 Feb 2022
This feels like that one slow song on the rock album that gets put on repeat for high school make-out sessions. Great lyrics. Nice work letting the song tell you how it wants to be played.
I'd still like to hear the punked out version. That's the version you play at full blast while ugly crying after the breakup.
@heliosonorous Feb 2022
This turned out really good and your performance is nicely done!
@jorh Feb 2022
I love the what he didn’t know / what he knew playoff between the lines in the verses . The guitar sounded ace here as well!
@dragondreams Feb 2022
Who are you and what have you done with the real @dzdandcunfsd?!
I came here expecting your glorious sonic mayhem. And what do I get?
Actually I get a really great track. Tidy write, and a very effective interpretation of the lyrics.
You're forgiven. ;-)
@ttg105 Feb 2022
Shockingly normal for you! Nice laid-back vocal and reverby sound. Is that a keyboard in the background or just echoes? This is like Syd Barrett meets Galaxie 500 meets Johnny Thunders. Cool 70s glam-rock feel!
@andrea Feb 2022
Gave me a 'Patience' vibe by GN'R. I love the guitar and your vocals are super appealing. The mood of the music fits perfect with the lyrics. Great collab!
@candle Feb 2022
I could see how this could get pretty punky pretty fast. But I'm glad you restrained yourself. This is excellent! But, like @elainedimasi says, doa punk version & you can tick off the ASide-BSide challenge :D
See You In The Shadows…
@themelgoexperience Feb 2022
This is giving me a Pixies vibe--love the verbed outness of the whole track! Nice tambourine stomping too :D
@estebanlartigue Feb 2022
Loves the mood, the flow and guitar pattern and i think the voice melody is great !
@elainedimasi Feb 2022
Sweet. Love all those suspended chords. The turn in the second "so who needs conversation" in the choruses is to swoon about. The little drench of reverb on everything is just right.
Now record another punk version and you've got the Aside-Bside challenge down too!
@sbs2018 Feb 2022
Oh, love the mellow guitar and soft vocals! Nice @mctown lyrics digging up memories of kisses and the radio.
@deena Feb 2022
Great title, cool sounding guitar! I love the hook!
@yewnorker Feb 2022
Wish I could play like that! An absolute one take wonder.
@nahlej381 Feb 2022
Sick collab y’all! You know I love big o delayed guitars! Awesome lyrics from a familiar face. Great performance. Well done!
@emkaydeebee Feb 2022
Love your vocals in this, well done for keeping it audible! love that line “your kiss and the radio” - coupled with the vibe of the song, can picture myself in a haze-filled room with people sat round in that bliss like state you get when everything that matters make sense and everything that doesn’t make sense, doesn’t matter.
@mosley Feb 2022
Nice! Totally great vibe on this, with the echo and tambourine and all, I totally dig it
@djtjb Feb 2022
Helluva one-take! I got some Bowie vibes from both the lyrics and dzd's performance. Just chilling out drinking some coffee and this hit the spot.
@wacha Feb 2022
Oh, this song is sublime! I don't know that I've hear @dzdandcunfsd sing so much in a song before and I LOVE it. @mctown wrote some smart lyrics and gave them to the right person to bring them to life. Well done to both of you!
@berni1954 Feb 2022
Fine acoustic "live take". Arranged for a whole band I could really hear this as an outtake of Loud Reed's "Transformer".
@lymonster Feb 2022
Nice vocals, I like the global mood of the song. Punky feeling for a lullaby ^^
@unkept Feb 2022
Very nice lyrics and I like the way you interpreted them, nice tones and composition.
@mctown Feb 2022
Cool. Always good to have a new song and boom, there it is. Great job on it. I enjoyed listening to it this morning.
@fuzzy Feb 2022
You know you have a quality song if you can play it in a number of different styles and it still sounds good.
All that reverb really works with this for sure.
The nice uncluttered guitar work here shows off the vocals.
Lovely.
@ineloquentsd Feb 2022
I can definitely hear how this could easily be played in a more punk style and still sound amazing, but I also really dig the softer guitar along with the more crooning vocals you went with for these lyrics. It feels nostalgic, like two people hanging out in a living room while one fusses around with a guitar.
@kanttila Feb 2022
Really nice singing and melody here! Works really well with the lyrics, which have a natural tunefulness to them. "Punky and noisy" is what I expected when I clicked play so it was a nice surprise to hear this.
Well done!
@franniezest Feb 2022
The tone of this goes perfectly w the lyrics! Great combo :)
@intoyourlight Feb 2022
I like this very much, it has a 70ies vibe to me, like a demo record of early Led Zeppelin, just roughly recorded. Could be because your voice reminds me a bit oft Robert Plants‘ :)
@steviej Feb 2022
great lyrics, would like to hear the vocal a bit more in places but I overall you've done a really good job with these lyrics. great hook!
@dreamscuba Feb 2022
Great one take song. Well done.
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
Always fun to mess wuth Davids lyrics. Wow great twangy guitar and very catchy, lovely feel to this! Real nice one guys
@daveyboy103 Feb 2022
I often wondered how Mozart would have made music if he were alive today. Probably with a bank of electronic equipment, certainly not an orchestra.
Love the feel of this but would to hear the vocal a bit more toward in the mix.
@dock Feb 2022
I couldn't get it to play.
