‘Loyalty’, it would be fair to say, is a pretty awkward title for a song, but there are #reasons. It was written for an exhibition by the excellent Greek artist Stefanos Rokos and ‘Loyalty’ was a musical re-imagining of his painting, ‘Loyal to the campaign for a beautiful terrorism’.
lyrics
I will be loyal to this campaign for a beautiful terrorism
I’m so spoilt, you picked me, the keenest face in the queue
Your bidding, so cruel, yet endlessly fascinating
Then emblazoned, in sunshine, the badges with your face anew
Count me on your inner team, to bring about this awful dream...
Loyalty, to the Queen, to your beauty and all between
Liberty, so seldom seen, dead to me, it’s just a dream
I’ll be your foil, in the battle to establish your endless rule
Commitment is total, we’re chattels, like the posters said we should
But no turmoil, will rattle, the folks when bang on queue
This Spring’s new fashion, is action, our hearts no longer made of wood
Count me on your inner team, to bring about this awful dream...
Loyalty, to the Queen, to your beauty and all between
Liberty, so seldom seen, dead to me, it’s just a dream
“We will mock your victory, all praise endless beauty
Standing here to obey, thoughts we cannot convey...”
Loyalty, to the Queen, to your beauty and all between
Liberty, so seldom seen, dead to me, it’s just a dream
Loyalty, to the Queen, to your beauty and all between
Liberty, so seldom seen, dead to me, it’s just a dream
Alexander's Festival Hall is a sort of English pop confection, a mix of regretful ballads and occasional pop rainbows. New
album 'Not From Above!' is both music and book of stories. Twelve lush romantic songs and a collection of darkly comic thought experiments.
A great album of imaginative Springsteen covers (you read that right) featuring AFH covering "Empty sky" and many good musical friends... Alexander's Festival Hall
Absolutely beautiful album superbly recorded, and well worth the wait on Tangerine coloured vinyl! My favourite ‘go to’ record for relaxing weekends already... well done Sammy! 👍 Mark Hart
Rhodri Marsden really accomplished something here - capturing in music the sheer madness of Brexit. And now apparently Marsden has a disco album about the Convid pandemic coming out. Should be a hoot. gkweir1
