I was thrilled when AndyG. presented me with his unique idea for this song early last year. A lot of work went into the finished product, with everything coming together quickly and well. What a blend of musical talent!
John, you've made a
most impressive MCS collab debut with your vocals on this one. Great job!
AndyD, thanks so much for your
riveting guitar contributions.
Erick, thank you for the tremendous drum tracks.
Paulo, a big thanks too for your superb keys and synth solo, and for the
masterful mastering.
AndyG, again a huge thanks for the musical vision. It's always a pleasure to work with you.
UPDATE: MARCH 26 - Paulo has just completed a BRAND NEW MIX with NEW DRUMS.

Show Your Face(v1)
Too much stress, too little rest
Making us dysfunctional today
Maybe it's a curse as we wait for the worst
While sanity slips away
Welcome to century twenty-one
Who knows what went wrong
Flower Power replaced by guns
When we turned our backs so long
Chorus
If anybody's out there
Come on out and show your face
Call off this mindless marathon
Or we'll lose the human race
If anybody's out there
Come on out and show your face
Please rearrange the panorama
Stop the deadly psychodrama yeah
(v2)
With a pace this fast, we can't last
Feels like it's already Hell
Hopes and dreams spill through the seams
Hear the tolling of the bell?
Effexor, Zoloft, needles and pills
Crime scenes everywhere
Booze and drugs, a life that kills
Violence poisons the air
Chorus
If anybody's out there
Come on out and show your face
Call off this mindless marathon
Or we'll lose the human race
If anybody's out there
Come on out and show your face
Please rearrange the panorama
Stop the deadly psychotdrama
Bridge
If it's not over soon
We'll colonise the moon
Our spacecraft and our freighters and our probes
Will all fill those ancient craters
With the sad debris of men
Who'll destroy themselves again
Chorus
If anybody's out there
Come on out and show your face
Call off this mindless marathon
Or we'll lose the human race
If anybody's out there
Come on out and show your face
Please rearrange the panorama
Stop the deadly psychodrama
C'mon and show your face
C'mon and show your face
C'mon and show your face
