Song of the Day: On With The Show – 5omerset
5OMERSET‘s latest single, ‘On With The Show,’ is an acoustic pop song inspired by the Shakespeare quote: “All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players.”
Written with Juno nominated songwriter and producer Dajaun Martineau in L.A., 5omerset perfectly conveys the pressure of everyday life as he trembles:
“Curtails close, shed my clothes, drop the act, let out a cry and clear my throat. Take my time, I’ll be fine the world could be mine but I’m about to lose my mind”
5omerset played all the instruments live Gold Standard Records in Toronto, to create a bitter-sweet sample, with the help from legendary musician and engineer Paul Phelan who played the beautiful pedal steel.
So here’s your chance to listen to ‘On With The Show’ and remember – “when the acting gets harder, shut up get on with the show” (5omerset’s favourite line from the song).
