FAWM: "My Nights With Ian Payne"

My Nights With Ian Payne

Skirmish: my nights with ___ (@fairplay)

Liner Notes

an overtime skirmish but felt skirmishy to me.

Lyrics

4am i can see it from both ends
is it late or early?
4am ian payne again
peace from the hurly burly

lbc is good enough for me
a bit of night time company
callers from all round
standing different ground
it's a social symphony

he puts his foot in it
funny way to look at it
i find it gently amusing
it's like he's born today
how'd you get away
with finding basic things confusing

4am ian payne again
something mundane to latch onto
i can't sleep at all
so i listen to some calls
tune in if you want to

i dont know ian paynes, but ive had plenty of sleepless nights listening to call-in radio. i like the introduction very much, and how when you pop in it sounds like you are just waking up from a brief attempt at sleep.

Can’t sleep? If I listened to that guy and the callers, my blood pressure rising would surely stop me from getting any sleep, anytime soon. Too many people just want to be heard, and it just makes me angry. Liked the way to introduced the topic and presented it. Always a treat to listen to you.

I like the In Your Face attitude of the song. No-nonsense, put-that-in-your-pipe-and-smoke-it. Cool song!

…great intro! - great performance! - a really nice dynamic and a hint of sleepyness in the presentation with a touch of serenity overall -nice!…

Love the broadcast start and the melodious song that follows which give us a glimpse about the show and the person watching it at 4 am in the morning. Some great lines and phrases “social symphony” “something mundane to latch onto” Lovely delivery!

Fun details to give shape to a character who I previously knew nothing about.

@jeremykazoo 20h

I wasnt sure you'd get the lyric in that minute and a half. But you sure did and it didn't feel rushed. Now I need to find Ian Payne on the radio!

@richaaaay 20h

Another brilliant write Wobbie. The opening line is perfect. Quite like the bouncy rhythmic phrasing. You are so good…

@mixedbydan 20h
