GUEST SPOT # 11 - Show of Hands - "Roots"
This weeks guest spot is by Andrew Brown (AKA Grumpys Shed)
Show of Hands - Roots (2005)
I heard this in the background while I was doing something around the house a couple of weeks ago. I was in a 'standards today are not what they used to be' mood and I heard the reference to Australian Soap's and pubs now with TV's and no more live music etc... I thought that this is a song after my own heart. I wound up the volume and found myself unusually stirred enough to sing along and my mood lifted. I've found that you
become more nostalgic as you put on the years and, whilst life goes on (cue for Noah and the Whale song), let's not forget our roots. After hearing the title and the band at the end of the song I checked them out and have since downloaded the best of 'Show of Hands' album with further stimulating and meaningful songs. Perhaps more to come!
