On one of his visits to Mark and Brian, he played an earlier version of this song. I happened to record it on a tape, but have since lost it. That version was much less produced and Pop-Perfect than this one, and hence much better (in my opinion). If ANYONE has a recording of this earlier version, I would LOVE to get a copy. Thanks.
One of my fave tracks off this release depending on the given day : ). "Shaming" is an album worth it's weight in gold. I'm so glad I was turned onto his talents.RIP KEV
" ... Making such a circus of the best laid plans The clowns arrive in a pirate ship And pose before the crowd Hilarious remarks and inactivity They throw the dog faced boy a bone Command him to play dead ..." talent will out, huh? well ... not always requiem en pace (sp?) kg ☮
i kinda consider a solo act though where you perform and create a whole cd a band. even if it is centered around you, you still need people playing drums and what not. and that makes it enough of a band for me.
@zezimashelpr her entire career has a death count. after her tonight show appearance after "leaving las vegas" and her saying the album was "autobiographical", the author of the book killed himself.
You know this isnt actually a band right? Its just Kevin Gilbert. The Shaming of the True was a solo project right before he died. His bands Toy Matinee and Thud and Giraffe are good though.

The drums were played by Nick D'Virgilio on most of the tracks... he did some back vocals as well as some other details to finalize the album!

Love this song. My favorite KG song. The Demo version is even better, uses toy keyboards during the opening and the little interlude part.

I agree. Great key change, feels like it's shifting gears. This whole album is fantastic BTW.
