Gary Myrick - The Message Is You

[holadonkey]

gary was good.underrated.maybe if he lived in england he would have had a lot more recognition.

[kilyecho]

One of my favorites from 1983. Thanks for sharing it.

[TimeBomb197585]

Gary rules! Big fan of everything he's done.Had these records in college,went backwards to the Figures then realized it was all him with John Waite No Brakes.Saw him gig a couple years ago in Long Beach.Played and sounded just as cool as ever.

[Aggedor1959]

As a young man this song REALLY made an impression on me. I'm glad it's coming out on CD soon.

Killer post, daviddennard!

Go to Gary's website for an incredible collection of songs and info - one very cool dude.

[TheDaveomatic]

never understood why this song wasent big..great stuff. everytime i hear it i cant get it out of my head.

[DeepSouthWrestling1]

I might be in the minority, but Gary's jumping the shark here... the albums with the Figures are untouchable, but there's a discernible difference in the solo stuff.

[1HotMilf]

YAAAAY!

[NowhereGirl79]

*sigh* i just love this song. gary is awesome.

[nerrawrellim]

This takes me back to high school...early MTV; when it really was videos and VJs! Anybody remember Martha Quinn, JJ Jackson, Nina Blackwood and the rest of the gang?

[daviddennard]

Thanks! The music should be available on CD soon from Wounded Bird records. 5/25/09

[gmyrick709]

Awesome indeed.

[redfishradical]

Great song, great vibe, very atmospheric. Gary's done a lot of great stuff, just destined to be one of those talented musicians who never quite gets the recognition he deserves.

LOVE THIS SONG!! Hey I have the MP3 for this song but where can you get this EP?

[thesullivanXXX]

great song and love the whole EP, but really . . . pretty silly video, even for back then.

[redfishradical]

Man, I've been searching for this on CD. Anyone know where I can find it? I had the original on vinyl. Haunting, moody & able to be listened to over & over w/out getting tired of the beautiful melody.

Thanks a ton for posting. One of my fave new wave tunes. This is back from when MTV was still MUSIC tv instead of the evil, soulless corporate dictator of commercially viable hip attitude.

Man, I'll be listening to this sucker the rest of the night while I try to write!

Thanks Brother!

[daviddennard]

The early Gary Myrick CDs are being re-released in extended form by a Sony sub-label soon so watch for them. David Dennard, The Figures

[redfishradical]

Thanks Brother, appreciate the info, I'll definitely be looking for this. Damn I love this tune!

[redfishradical]

@daviddennard Just came back to this (another writing night). Appreciate the heads-up David, I'll be looking for it this week. Thanks, peace!

@redfishradical

Great comment....I can soooo relate....

[redfishradical]

@rockenrollertami Thanks Rockenroller!

[MitchGambino]

Huh. I wonder why this doesn't have more views.

[BlueShark45]

I had two Gary Myrick albums and I was a heavy metal guy from the 80's.

He was cool in my book. Guitar Talk Love and Drums.

[BlueShark45]

He says: "She let's her hair down for a picture,sends it to you nation-wide"

There was no internet back then. Kinda cool.

[mikelj3]

A real 'haunter'... Once heard it doesn't go away. From the great early M-TV days & Gary is a kewl guy too. Doo da doo doo doo do do do....

Thanx 4 posting it!

[paulncolo]

OMG! I love this song. Bought the EP in 83 and figured I'd never ever find the video! It's awesome!

[sadisticon]

Wonderful... I have looked for this song for years to no avail, and all because I was looking for 'The King of Rock N Roll' by Prefab Sprout I stumbled across this. Serendipity indeed.

[jeffhanson60]

I have the MP3 if you want it. Just let me know and I can email it to you.

[redfishradical]

Dude you'd be a serious rock star if you could send that to me! One of those all time classics that never got its due & is hard to run down!
