- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มิ.ย. 2024
- Filmed over the course of two years and compiled by Adam Heffernan.
Glimpses of those fleeting instances on the road where connection is found in the nature within and without & the fertile ground that is musicality.
Gratitude to all who feature in this video & to Adam for his friendship and craft.
In a world where distractions are infinite don’t forget to daydream and cultivate some wonder with others and in the curiosity your own company.
Radiate a Smile was recorded with and produced by Gavin Glass in Orphan Studios.
I’m currently on tour and working on releasing the new album and other new materials that have been coming to life over the last year or so.
Best to you and yours,
David Xx
Radiate a Smile Lyrics
#Verse
A swaggering stick you carry it quick
Attired up and looking fine I’ll persevere and wait in line to hear what it is you’ve seen
The tattoo on your chest makes me want one of my own
We flew the nest when we were bold enough you know the rest we talked before and said too much
Power is reaching a place where no one needs to know I’m empowered I’m alive now ill thrive now that’s more than enough
Radiate a smile cuz we’re only here for a short while and I don’t way to miss a day because I’m missing you
#Verse
Larry is heavy handed and gets in your space a space invader who’s deaf in one ear
Scudders is still skulling bags of Galahad, oh I wish I Galahadn’t last night
The crowd roars and soars the crowd soars the engines roar pyros flash smokes choke they joke
He doesn’t pay his child support, but he never misses an away game
Why are you all dressed the same all the young men are wearing black on black with black trims
Speak suicide as a closing remark then disappear into the darkness and the glow of their own hopes, glories, dashed and redeemed
#Chorus
Radiate a smile cuz we’re only here for a short while and I don’t wanna miss a day because I’m missing you
Radiate a smile if we’re only here for a short while
No I don’t want to miss a day cuz there’s so much we must do.
#Verse
How can I put this in the best way, Mully is a nice Man
I don’t mean to be reductive but what’s wrong with being nice man
Or decent and humble in the way he inspires the young to take their feelings and then weave them into a tapestry of song
Louise is slight but carries herself like a giant she walks in the footsteps of Bridget and Ériu writing her own myth,
And she sees through the bullshit and the little ones look to her as an icon that leads them into the light
People rush and push everybody is rushing and pushing and vying, vying to be heard
There’s a song that was sung at the battle of Verdun it went like who will really thrive if there is nothing to be won.
#Chorus
Radiate a smile cuz we’re only here for a short while and I don’t want to miss a day because I’m missing you
#Verse
An embrace so tight it asphyxiates the lungs then a look into my eyes
That says I know I’ve lost I’ve done my share of bringing beauty into this world
And my share of hurting beauty in the process of it all
Give me a ring a ring ah Rosy here’s a locket you chose for me I chose you
There’s a belly load of butterflies in this tune
Now let’s release them let them play amongst our rhythms and our blues
#Chorus
Radiate a smile cuz we’re only here for a short while and I don’t want to miss a day because I’m missing you
Radiate a smile for the ones who built the bonfires of hope and love and laughter when the odds seemed stacked
No we don’t want to miss a day because there’s so much we must do. - เพลง

While our screens and minds are inundated by tripping moderate but overpaid fitballers, forked tongued and over egoed politicians and too ancient and sadly unrepentent media tycoons, at least we can depend on the most talented tanktop to cheer us up with his genius.
I'm very happy people like you, your friends and co-magicians, exist in the world.
thanks for another beautiful and heart-wrenching song. It's making me think/feel -
hate/love you for that :D
