Part of the rewards for my top tier Patreon supporters is a cover song commission request. Queen's Radio Ga Ga is the first one I've completed, for patron Justin Edwards! Thanks, Justin!
In 2021, I'm writing and recording a brand new album of original music. Also, I'm streaming every Tuesday and Thursday evening on Twitch as I work through the creative process of planning it.
Supporters on Patreon get exclusive access to mp3 demo downloads, and, for the biggest supporters, unique merchandise like a custom coffee mug and album cover sticker set.
lyrics
I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly
So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know, or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (radio)
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you
We watch the shows, we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years
Let's hope you never leave, old friend
Like all good things, on you we depend
So stick around, 'cause we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour Radio (radio)
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Someone still loves you
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (radio)
