Feb 2022 folky topical pink floyd
Mike: I tried a couple different styles in approaching @coolparadiso 's lyrics and finally settled on Pink Floyd, which I never tried before. I liked his second verse so much that I repeated it twice with just a touch of contrast.

So this was from the random collaboration thread ! my music have gone Pink Floyd woo hoo
It's always sad news that makes the front page
The headlines that draw you in
Doesn't matter on the accuracy
They just use their spin
Insane husband! House Fire!
Love triangle gone wrong!
Lunatic with shotgun!
Suicide song!
But tomorrow's another day
To build relationships
What was yesterday's headlines
Now wraps fish and chips
They call it human Interest
But it rarely brings you joy
It's there to get the ratings
Just another ploy
They look to draw each story out
Milk it for all its worth
Not tell you all the details
"A meteor hits the earth!"
Insane husband ! House fire!
Love triangle gone wrong!
Lunatic with shotgun!
Suicide song!
But tomorrow's another day
To build relationships
What was yesterday's headlines
Now wraps fish and chips
Now wraps fish and chips

This is a great social commentary, "What was yesterday's headlines / Now wraps fish and chips" is a brilliant line. I love the treatment of the lyrics in the arrangement, the delivery of the vocals allowed me to appreciate the lyrics and the music equally.

Good topic for a song and the killer lines for me are 'What was yesterday's headlines / Now wraps fish and chips'

I spent a semester in college in London and remember all the "fish and chips" shops that served everything in the page of a newspaper. Do they still do that?
Anyway--that's why I had to listen to this. Well, that and the very prolific @coolparadiso was involved--I'm a fan, as he knows.
You did a great job with this @mikegtz . Very nice collaboration, gentlemen!

And the worst thing is that it works, media sucks us in, and we can't help but look and read and react.
Good interpretation of the lyrics!
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
I really like this. The last line/hook is great! Wonderful message. Great delivery!
@srcoops Feb 2022
The lyrics give an interesting perspective, Music and lyrics are nicely put together.
@billwhite51 Feb 2022
interesting to hear johns lyrics recited over a pink floyd chord progression.
@panch Feb 2022
Yes, definitely a Roger Waters, Animals era Floyd feel to this. The lyrics feel Wateresque as well to me. Nice collaboration.
@jyllian Feb 2022
What a wonderful twist at the end. I do think the news has gone a bit astray and sensational! We take these ridiculously strange stories and wrap them in a mundane meal. Great collab!
@mjv Feb 2022
love the honesty behind this your phrasing reminds me a little bit of Daniel Johnston to my ear

Great lines, very truthful. I like how you speed up with the headlines and am glad you repeated it. A great write, melody and collab!!
