OK, we thought our post of the day was the one below this (regarding George Ezra). But we're waiting patiently (somewhat) at the Austin airport after two days of festival fun and a third day of impromptu rainout maneuvering (drive to Dallas to catch the Cowboys win over the Washington Redskins), and our personal setlist included “Celebrate” by Jerry Fish. The song was perfect for the situation and our mood – “This party’s over, I’m going home!”
“Celebrate” has an enthusiasm and a rock guitar that combine to grab the listener’s attention and, if you appreciate the genre of the song, the attention isn't released until the last note is played. There is an energy build that keeps the song from becoming stale.
Jerry Fish is based in Ireland. According to his website:
"Jerry Fish is a carny soul, one who has spent much of his life on the road, a shape-shifter, showman, shaman, producer, songwriter, performer, entrepreneur, supper club crooner from Lynchville. Whether operating as The Mudbug Club’s ringmaster, a rock peacock (An Emotional Fish), or patron of poets and spoken word performers (Michael Madsen, The Revelator Orchestra), he has always favoured innovation over orthodoxy."
“Celebrate” by Jerry Fish
Below are the lyrics to "Celebrate."
She insists that she's a lunatic
closer to the bone
She hardly ever visits upstairs would
rather telephone
Well I guess beauty does what beauty
does best.
It's beautiful.
She says that's the trouble with
reality it's taken
far too seriously, do hope God is good
to me
and Santa Claus to the children.
Celebrate. This party 's over, I'm
going home.
Celebrate. This party's over, I'm going home.
Celebrate. This party's over, I'm going home.
His essential complications, are hung
up on confused
It's a planet full of traffic lights
and traffic light
abuse, but that's no stranger than
strange, or any
other stranger.
He claims its dangerous to be innocent
as your
the victim everytime, histories of
insanity
intruding on the sane.
Celebrate. This party's over, I'm
going home.
Celebrate. This party's over, I'm going home.
Celebrate. This party's over, I'm going home.
Are histories of insanity intruding on
the sane
and even if your problem is the
problem.
Do we have to play those games ?
When a heartache is enough for anyone
to shoulder
see that's the trouble with reality
it's taken far too seriously, do hope
God
is good to me and Santa Claus to the
children
Celebrate. This party's over, I'm going home.
Celebrate. This party's over, I'm going home.
Celebrate. This party's over, I'm going home.
Celebrate. This party's over, I'm going home.
Celebrate. This party's over, I'm
going ... home
