I believe "Spread the News" was written on the 19th August (based on a vivid dream the night-before) - the day of our first session where, upon arriving at the studio, we bumped into none-other than the Robert Heart. The track has become a Garibaldi favourite seeing release on 2009's Sold Out and accompanied "Suffocating" the same year as double a-side single from Wicked-McButt-Heart's debut "(Also Known As) Constellations".
Spread The News (Spread The News!)
A
man walks down a corridor
No-one
knows his name
All
around people bustle for
The
kick-off of the game
Strolling
down this corridor
Two
people he meets
Brushing
them accidentally
He
drops down to his feet
Sound
the news!
News
spreads from the corridor
A
media rush ensues
Who
was this man, what did he want?
“We
have the breaking news”
Police
had blocked the entrance
Word
of mouth had travelled far
The
stranger was a stranger no more
He’d
become a film star
Russell
Crowe? Spread the news!
Next
day, the World wakes in shock
“Murdered
film star” headlines
Conspiracies
and tributes
Who
did this heinous crime?
A
man dies in a corridor
Propelled
to worldwide fame
In
all this media confusion
We’ll
never know his name
