Paul Murphy - 'Exposed By Fame'

Another carriage on the nostalgia train. This week, I had an idea to go through some of the, I guess 'deep cuts', from my catalogue. Having written some 1300 songs, the well is pretty deep, and, sadly, so are some of the cuts still.

This song dates from 1990, and so far as I know, was never played live, and hasn't seen daylight in almost 35 years. I feel the same about myself, sometimes. The intro is longer than the song, what with anecdotes whilst the traffic outside disperses. The exposed, by the way, is not the singer, but rather, what happens to the audience. You won't find many performers, in any medium, who won't tell you that people's perceptions of you can change by what you do. The song is wider than that though, encompassing politics, employment. The moral clause from the recipient of such is not to exploit it. I pretty much never did, too cynical I guess, but it served me well. If someone didn't want to show any interest in me before I went on stage, I didn't want them to afterwards, unless it was the songs they were praising and not me.

Light and peace,
Me
