DNS.01 . Paul Murphy - 'While A Bridge Is Burning' ; 1998 recording , harsh social reflection song

From the album, 'Dark Night Symphonies'.

All the songs on 'DNS' are heavy-lyric songs. Social Commentary on Ster0ids. Some of them were new, some were songs that I used to play quite often live. This is one of the latter, in fact, this is one of the oldest songs I recorded in these 1997-1999 sessions I am 'upping' to YT, dating from, I think, about 1989. Over the years I have tried to record this about 20 times, and never once nailed it. If you've been trying to nail something for that long without success, change your aftershave.


The TV, by the way, is showing a video of the sky above my back garden today; I figured I should compromise and put some 'tube' in these... (action-packed adrenaline-rush or what!)*

Love and peace,

Notes: - - -

As with the rest of these CD-to-camera-via-speakers videos, it is, sadly, a compressed recording - the only way to make these videos, due to my illness progressing rapidly these last few weeks, is to play the CD, and point the mono 2K camera in roughly the middle of the room. The warmth, the instrumentation, the seperation, is about 50% lost, sadly, on what one hears on this, recorded direct from the speakers . But, it's a case of 50% lost, or 100% lost.

Please feel free to share this video with anyone with my blessing. My channel is not monetised, it's not here for that, and it is also free to subscribe to (where you can see the outtakes and the er, ones with some naughty words in), and the only ads are on the cover version songs, placed by the rights holders in exchange for letting me use the music.

Many of my song lyrics, should you care to investigate them further, are presented in 4 books of such (details below). If you do go to Amazon and purchase any of my lyric/poetry, comedy, or childrens titles, thank you with my extreme gratitude for that, because all royalties go to my beautiful young children, Dylan and Emily Jade.
