Rebecca Barnard - ' The Drugs ' - seems to have disappeared from u-tube months ago, and its one of the GNW best songs

[pyrothesis1]

[landscapecadmonkey]

@pyrothesis1 ah ha...thanks for that.  recently uploaded sound only version, but it will do. thanks again.

[eyeshalfclosed]

@landscapecadmonkey there's a decent quality audio of it on "The Good News Week Tapes Vol 2". There's a few torrents of GNW Tapes Vol 2 floating around on the web :)

[hadikchik]

Paul McDermott + Tripod = <3

Ah-ma-zing.

[hadikchik]

Wow. Just, wow...

[eyeshalfclosed]

Hey where did you get hold of this?

[maree021]

Why is Paul McDermott doing GNW ; which I am sure he enjoys ; when he could be making a fortune singing!!I love this song.Well not only this one ; all of his ;thanks for sharing this.

[gabryssniegas]

Paul also sang this at a tribute night for my daughter, Nerija who had died a few months earlier. It is beautiful as befits her.

[tre0007]

He is a fucken genius.

Love him,

[doragzzzz]

great just great if you like it you do but i think its great

[badthreebears]

it was for me a stunningly awesome experience to be there when Paul sang this!!!!

[Boldar64]

This is what happens when you let pure talent off the leash...

[mithol]

I just learned how to play this song on the guitar and now I'm very happy.

[milp1200]

i love this song so much

it's beautiful.

[vSetPhasersToStunv]

this song is so beautiful.

[HarlieDiva]

Does anyone know if Paul has a cd out of all of these beautiful songs? There is an old one of DAAS isn't there as well?

[Frogglin]

DAAS released ICON eons ago, and also recorded a serious Blues-y one that never saw the light of day other than bootlegs. Paul released Shut Up and Kiss me but I don't think he's recorded anything else officially.

[mddawson1]

There were also a couple of live DAAS albums as well. Not sure if he recorded anything with Gud.

[myllamagirl]

There were two Gud CDs Bootleg and The Doily Dogfights.

[RESTLESSCOMPANY]

@mddawson1

Gud recorded 2 albums The Doley Dogfights and GUD Bootleg

[MitchGrinter]

@RESTLESSCOMPANY Where would one find these albums?

[mithol]

Do you know which episode/date this was performed?

[Chameleonefx]

Is this not one of the most incredible voices you have heard!!! The song is just beautiful and amazing!!! Paul's talent astounds me, the diversity and sincerity in all his performances whether it be with daas, gud or solo are just awsome...

[lman018]

Dude, your right. he has such an amazing voice. this,Stripped and Heard it through the grape vie (daas).... amazing. He will always be an amazing singer and your right, whether it be solo or in groups.

[haloosin8]

Just the jokes Paul, just the jokes.

[nickiholland]

ouch.

tool.

i'd like to see you sing this and post it...

[4gotten1s]

what a voice. he sings with such feeling. and has wit, and is funny. the man is an all rounder.

[missphoenix89]

Wow, just... wow. That was incredible

Ahhh Paul can sing this at our wedding after he's made a hilarious but romantic speech... hmmmm I'm sounding creepy now aren't I...

[scottishmuffin]

haha not that creepy. trust me, im a Grobanite - fan of Josh Groban, if you're unfamiliar with the terminology? - and we get pretty wacky lol.

paul is so amazing.

i love the bit "in space you can barely breathe"

ahhh this is such a good song.

[kimberlywalls]

Paul has, not only the best voice in Australia but the best voice in the world and he is the best comedian too.

[ashmegsiv]

agreed!!

[mithol]

My rationality says that you're exaggerating just a wee bit.. There are many great singers in the world... :\

My Paulaholic within says "Paul for totalitarian dictator of the world!" xD <3 <3 <3

[kimberlywalls]

I'm not exaggerating one bit Paul is the greatest. "his name is Paul and he's the best of all cause he's in your face like a can of mace!"

[mithol]

I LOVE the DAAS reference!!! xD Paul for president!

[harmonysound]

MMmmmmmmmmmm.

Beautiful,

Thanks.

[XxLoveJessxX]

i love paul

[FUBB807]

This is absolutely fucking BEAUTIFUL

[nickiholland]

gotta laughh.

sixteen year olds are so immature, don't appreciate crap.

have grown up listening to britney spears, with her voice that, in real life, SUCKS. the studios airbrush her to make her look perfect and spend countless time in the studio perfecting her voice.

paul mcdermott is different. his voice is natural, and sure, britney treatment could make him sound even better. he is a normal human, not like britney- she is total dropkick.

[Muglez]

Honestly, I think this entire generation (the teenagers of now) is completely boned.

[NoelFieldingLover]

im 16 and i loooove paul! hes awesome! one of if not the best male voice in australia....every generation has its dickheads, you cant generalize

[ilovemyducko]

Haha...true in some cases, but you can never generalise, and there are always exceptions. I'm 17 and obsessed with Paul - can't get enough of him and his voice. It's just a bit freaky that he's 45. The majority of people that I know, of my age, also appreciate music for it's worth, regardless of who is singing, or anything else.

[Muglez]

Never underestimate the power of stupidity in numbers.

Also, I enjoy the hypocrasy in your comments. "Sixteen yr olds are so immature." "You can never generalize".

[Muglez]

Oh wait... I see. Two different people. I gotta stop assuming that when someone replies to a reply on someone's post, that the replyer to the reply is actually the original commenter.

Weee!

[ilovemyducko]

lol...i was trying to make sense of your comment...

[Muglez]

For clarification (however overdue): Person A is the original commenter. Person B is a replier to Person A. Person C is a replier to person B. Person C is not always Person A. :P

[silverapples2]

When I was 16, I got the ABC shop to order "Dead and Alive" for me, just to hear Paul's voice. I'm only 24, so I hadn't seen much of DAAS before, (that I can remember).

There are many youngans out there who appreciate talent, they're just hard to find.

[NoelFieldingLover]

im 16....and i love paul! and have loved him since about the age of 7....so yeah you cant generalize

[mddawson1]

Does Noel Fielding know how you feel about Paul? :-P

[nickiholland]

hypocrisy- I'm not that immature.

I let someone listen to my ipod today- 'where's fergie'.

I HATE FERGIE.

And no-one knows who Tripod is, I've loved them since I was in year 4.

Because I'm 14.

And watch the news and watched the whole election telecast.

I did not just say that.

[Muglez]

I'm so very confused. Are you replying to my comment earlier about the hypocrasy of someones post? Because in actual fact there wasnt any. I just read names wrong.

Other than that, same, more or less. I'm just a slightly more recent Tripod fan.

PS: I watched the election telecast too. >.>

[Boldar64]

wow..I thought i got pissed.. I not know what you om but get me some???? lol

[XxLoveJessxX]

i am 15 and i know who tripod is

[Muglez]

Congratulations. Want a cookie?

[karennishere]

SIGN THE PETITION PEOPLE

[BazBarry9]

Where is this petition? Because I would like to sign it

[Boldar64]

Well vote on website to get Sideshow back on next year! Won't happen without votes:-/

[lolsista]

He's got such a beautiful voice,

he's great for the job on the sideshow!

Its a shame its over now.

[lane0065]

Paul McDermott has a beautiful voice!

This was the second take of this song cause the audio guys screwed up - the first time he really belted it out so his voice can be powerful when he wants it to be.

I am a voice student/tutor so i can tell you that technically his voice is fantastic, great tone and quality

[F00D1ES]

There is nothing particularly special about paul's voice. He hasnt got a powerful voice, it isnt a beautiful voice, it's kinda pretty. He's just lucky that he is also quite funny so that he has a fall back plan if the musical thing doesn't work out coz he's got the sideshow. He would be better of in his old band than he is doing now, in his solo career

[ZX12R1]

Gee thanks for your kind words Zoe! And at the highly experienced age of 16, how many professional bands have YOU sang for??

[missphoenix89]

Um.... congratulations? What has this got to do with Paul Mcdermott?

[nickiholland]

yeah what the fuck?

who cares...?

[497678]

hahahaha, yeah this guy mustve been drunk when he posted this. makes it harder to type...

[nickiholland]

reckon.

he can't spell either.

it's musicians?

a bunch of 43 year old illiterates...

[Muglez]

Someone obviously missed the fact that the universe didnt start when you were born. Protip: Paul's been around a hell of a lot longer than you, has sung for a multitude of people, and will continue because even though he's getting old he can still sing, which is more than anyone can say for alot of people when they get older.

Thanks for your completely ignorant time. :)

[F00D1ES]

I NEVER said that the universe begun when I was born! Thats just stupid! And I never said that he couldn't sing, I said his voice is very pretty but nothing particularly spectacular! AND YOU DONT NEED TO BE THROWING INSULTS AT ME, THE COMMENTS PAGE IS FOR OPINIONS, NOT SPITE AND HATE. And their are actually quite a few people who still have beautifull voices when they reach old age! such as Paul Mcartney and Bob Dillan...

[mithol]

Dude. Bob Dylan never had a beautiful voice. He still kicks arse though. His songs weren't about his voice.

[F00D1ES]

yeah, but he was a great musician. Btw, The Beatles rule...i lurv dem.......WHAT? IM ALOUD AT LEAST 1 RANDOM CONFESSION COMMENT!

lol...I get wat ur sayin thanks 4 the comment dood (peace)

[mithol]

What do the Beatles have to with...this discussion?

[F00D1ES]

just coz i luv dem... I thought i would share :)(PLZ DONT EAT ME)

[mithol]

Yeah, that was random...

But accepted. The Beatles are my favourite band. I WORSHIP them. NEVER be ashamed of liking the Beatles. Wear your admiration of them with pride. I do. I think all my Tshirts are actually Beatles Tshirts.

Who's your fave?

[F00D1ES]

I love them all to bits and I AM SO PROUD!^_^ I might say John is my favourite, but I love george 2...and Paul and Ringo r kool 2...GRR IM JUST GONNA SAY JOHN :D

[mithol]

Dude. John is my favourite too! Hands down. I used to have a big crush on him, and he's just the coolest and the deepest and the best. High five!

[akilimatsu]

the beatles are so in right now in australia - you are worshiped for wearing vintage tee's

[JangOutProductions]

i ate a beatles curry the other day. It didn't make me Paul McCartney but it sure as hell made my ringo. (dahdumtsh)

Enough Beatles more Paul

[whilak]

Dylan sang exactly how he wanted to.

[F00D1ES]

and I would very much appreciate it if you wouldnt call me names such as ignorent thankyou...

[Muglez]

I love playing with emotions. It really is great fun. I understand why women screw with emotions so much.

The best bit was all I had to do was state the bleeding obvious and call you ignorant and you got all up in arms and started shouting. Would you like some dip for that chip on your shoulder?

[Celticheart111]

i first heard this on th show and i couldn't stop shivering its just so beautiful love paul's voice

[RhaevynEmber]

Paul sung this song so beautifully I cant help but be in tears. It's just perfect.

[sleepingpirate]

Is that Cameron Bruce on piano? I can't see his face properly.

[gnu740]

Yep, that's Cameron.

[theresahanhnguyen]

i love his voice its so good. i would honestly buy his songs. he should sell records

[Ladeemyst]

This song never ceases to give me goosebumps. I think I actually prefer the strpped back GUD version its simpler somehow, but in any form it is sheer bliss. What a talent!!

[scifigurl]

This is incredible, Paul McDermot is a true artist indeed. Thanks for posting this!

[daipu]

Oh no, he had to do it all over again?!?! I wish we could hear the first time he did it~

[matopattto]

Yes, very good. I was at the recording of this episode at ABC studios. This is actually the second take of the song. He belted it out and gave it everything he had to finish the night, only for the producer to say "Paul, didn't get it mate, you're going to have to do it again". Paul thought he was joking and had a few choice words to say when he realised he wasn't. Poor old Pauly's voice was almost shot and he had little left in the tank when he did this take.

[scifigurl]

mddawson1 YOU ARE A GENIOUS!. Thank you for uploading this you so ROCK!

[iragenustik]

the additions make so much more sense from the original GUD version. still love it! certainly sounds more like a song of great loss.

does anyone know if it really is about holly or someone else close to him?

the pictures this man creates with his words are something i can only aspire to.

til next....

~Kits~ (in awe of his genius all over again)

[majordag]

He wrecked it when he added that section in towards the end when the band started playing. The GUD version is definitely better. Anyone still looking for MP3 versions. I have almost every GUD song on MP3...post a message on my page..

[spoco2]

This is the first time that I'd heard the song, and I have to say, it really is superb.

I get the impression perhaps it's about a child that Paul lost or similar? Don't know, it's hard to come by information on his life, he's very insular.

[JadedMinx62]

I cant beleive you have this clip, i'd lvoe you forever if you could send me the vid file or the mp3.

sapphire_loki@hotmail com

[BrentCanDj]

Again my email is Audiobox24 @ hotmail com

Please send the video file or mp3!!!

Thanks!

[BrentCanDj]

OMG! Please send this song to my email as in, the actual mp3 or video file! My email is Audiobox24 hotmail

Thanks!

[centreofthings]

I love this song, though wow has it changed since Gud. I love Paul's angst songs. The original Gud version is on their CD, though no idea if it's still available, sorry! Thank you soooo much for uploading this!

[M4A0S7H7]

Where can I get an .mp3 of this?!

[KaanKaant]

ohh, that song's so sad.... When I watched it on TV I couldn't believe how the mood of the show changed so fast...it's so good though!

[minniebannister]

Thankyou soooo much for uploading this!!!
