about
Studio Creatures become political with a movie in a song.
There comes a point where, after 13 years of being lied to, and seeing the potential replacement doing much the same, that you realise you've had enough.
The song was inspired by the downward spiral of politics to become a shabby way to get power and enrich you and your mates quickly without interference, particularly if you're supported by the media, owned by a few billionaires you spend your time courting.The fact the same billionaires are opposed to any actions to deal with climate change adds to the song's rant.
The French have the right idea, they know how and when to protest, and haven't been infected by the supine malaise that infects the UK.
In this song I tried to recreate an unfolding of events, aided by my memories of what I'd hear at night whilst growing up in Belfast in the 1970s.
In my head this is John Lennon meets Heaven 17 meets 1970's Blaxploitation soundtracks.
Thanks to Auntie Vicky for reading the news to come.
Let's testify, brothers and sisters.
lyrics
Let’s Start the Revolution Now
Start the revolution now, my friends
Let’s start the revolution now
The time has come for us to say, my friends
Let’s start the revolution now
The Labour red and Tory blue, they have the same contempt for you
The billionaires just tell them what to say
They make you think you’ve got a choice, until you try to raise your voice
And then you’ll find out there’s a price to pay, oh yeah……
Start the revolution now, my friends
Let’s start the revolution now
It’s time for us to take them on, my friends
Let’s start the revolution now
Anxiety and stress creates the legions of depressed
And all because we’re not supposed to live this way
The pace of living never stops, they’ll make us work until we drop
While they drink in the Stranger’s Bar all day, and we pay. So…
Start the revolution now, my friends
Let’s start the revolution now
I think that we’ve all had enough, my friends
Let’s start the revolution now
The rivers die, the forests burn, we’re at the point of no return
The oceans fill with plastic and disease
While they sit with their friends on far more money than they’d spend
In a thousand lifetimes whilst we starve and freeze. So….
Start the revolution now, my friends
Let’s start the revolution now
It’s time to make a better day, my friends
Let’s start the revolution now
Start the revolution now, my friends
Let’s start the revolution now
It’s time to grab the future now, my friends
Let’s start the revolution now

Why should the kids have all the fun? We started writing music together in 1980, stopped for over 30 years and then started again, developing niche pop music for old people. You learn a lot in 30 years.
