“Speakeasy” by Mark McGowan – A Song Feature

     “Speakeasy” is enjoyable from the perspective of melody and exceptional from the perspective of rhythm. That is, Mark McGowan isn’t afraid to use his voice as a member of the rhythm section. The song is undeniably soulful, but not with “The Motown Sound” emphasis on distinctive melodic and chord structures. Instead, the experiences that shape his music are reflected by the inflections and power of his voice.

      Mark McGowan is a Glasgow-based vocalist/songwriter/storyteller. The acoustic guitar is his instrument of choice, which he uses to blend a folk vibe with the soulfulness of his vocals. In 2018, McGowan signed with NHMM, LLC, a new label out of powerhouse publisher Notting Hill Music. “Speakeasy” is the title track of an EP that was released last November. Quoting a description of the four tracks on the EP:
    “From the subtle sensitivity of 'Betty' and the rousing momentum of 'Bones,' to the emotional storytelling of 'Roles Reversed' and the grizzly vibrance of the title track, 'Speakeasy,' Mark channels a thoughtfulness and depth beyond his years.”

Lyrics of “Speakeasy” by Mark McGowan
Speakeasy!

Let me show you
Goes like this
Now I said
First you turn
Then you twist
One more
Time, she said
Tell you how it is
You’re free to leave
But you'll sure be missed

Yah, I'm just hypnotized by your step
Paralyzed by your kiss
And I
Love the way you speakeasy
Tell me, loves at the bottom of your list

Woo-ooo, woo-ooo, woo-ooo, woooooooo
Speakeasy
[Repeating]

Why won’t tell you
Turn off that phone
We both know you're
Not going home
One more time
Tell you how it is
When you leave
Aww, you'll sure be missed

See I’m hypnotized by your step
Paralyzed by your kiss
I love the way you speakeasy
Tell me, loves at the bottom of your list

Speakeasy
Woo-ooo, woo-ooo, woo-ooo, woooooooo
[Repeating]

Hypnotized by your step
Paralyzed by your kiss
I love the way you speakeasy
Tell me, loves at the bottom of your list

Woo-ooo, woo-ooo, woo-ooo, woooooooo
Speakeasy
[Repeating]
