Wouldn't That Be A Thing

from Live at Very Fine Solutions by Daniel McBrearty

/

about

The most recent song on the album, written in 2018. This came out of disgust at the failure of politicians to do anything useful at all about the climate crisis, and the fact that it falls to schoolkids to make any kind of point about it.

lyrics

“I get numb watching the news right now
Rich old white guys do their thing
They don’t speak for us anyhow
Wouldn’t That Be A Thing

“I don’t don’t hold with all the things they say
The madness of a king
Hoping change is on they way
Wouldn’t That Be A Thing

“And I’m wondering about you right now
Tied up in your own string
I don’t get through to you anyhow
Wouldn’t That Be A Thing

“It’s yesterday’s connection now
A sell by date on the tin
Got no use for it anyhow
Wouldn’t That Be A Thing

“I get tired of waiting for you right now
Poisoned by your own sting
Got my own wounds to clean anyhow
Wouldn’t That Be A Thing

“The kids are smarter than the grown-ups now
Showed the whole damn world something
Hoping change will come someday now
Wouldn’t That Be A Thing”

about

Daniel McBrearty Ghent, Belgium

I write and play music for fun and to stay sane. Mostly saxophone, occasionally clarinet, but I do the singer-songwrtiter thing as well.

I do it for my own satisfaction and pleasure, but if people (you) like it, well, that’s great. I’ve also messed around with making music videos too (but these days I don’t have time), and those you can find on YT (link is at the top).
