please listen.[color:#FFCC00].. [/color] http://www.soundclick.com/bands/0/calvinstewartPaparazzi © words and music by C. Stewart ( Jan 12, 2015 )
I think I'm gonna buy a cowboy hat Dark shades so I can hide Maybe then, I can disappear Blend into the countryside
My fans will pay the biggest price For never seeing me I know it's gonna break their hearts But something's got to be
CHORUS.....
Man, I hate the paparazzi, don't you You've seen my face in the magazines Bare butt naked on a trampoline Flip the page, look at me, i'm juggling tangerines
You might only see a mysterious Footprint in the sand Paradise agrees with me, I'm Working on my tan
I'll be like the Invisible man That took air from the ball Bot I'll still be in front of the camera Hiding from you all
CHORUS.....

Well I've got my cowboy hat! And Shades. As always I am in awe of your writing and a very nice presentation - love the " here I am" overdubs - done just right and captures the love hate relationship between privacy and celebrity. Reminds me of this poem by Emily Dickenson I'm nobody, who are you? Are you nobody too? How dreary to be somebody How public, like a frog To say your name the livelong day to an admiring bog. I think you'll be safe here on JPF, Calvin, Time magazine probably won't find you here.

I think I saw the trampoline pic checking out at the supermarket the other day.
Another fun one!

Calvin, it didn't look as big as the trampoline, so you have that going for you. Cool vibe and some major visuals with this one that can't be unseen! Ricki

It would be a fun experience to get in your head for a while, Calvin. How do you do these without getting a fit of the chuckles?

Hi Calvin,
I really enjoyed this ... FUN, funny song!!
It's great how you really nailed the complete irony ... hiding from the cameras, but not really hiding..."hiding" in plain sight!

Calvin,
You have posted a lot of songs but I think this is my favorite of yours! Very cool tune! Reminds me of Devo. The panned voices are a nice touch also. Well done!

Really like this Calvin,
Especially like the groove in the verses and the "Here I Am" bits dancing around the stereo field. It's a very cool soundscape.
Peace,
Ian

Calvin,
These are really interesting and phonetically fun lyrics. The production behind them is ultra cool making giving this song a "Punk/Jazz" feel for me--so different. Enjoyed this!

I see you're still bangin out gems.
But I'll still be in front of the camera Hiding from you all Funny how it works, they hate'm when they're around and miss'm when they aren't.
You can hardly tell who's looking for who.
Another brilliant piece, Calvin.
