about

Who isn’t a little worried about the state of the world?
If it isn’t climate change, the rising cost of energy, the stealth-like
advance of AI or whether the motor car will shortly be consigned to history, some people will always have something to say on the matter.
All these concerns and more are voiced in the latest Who Shot Liberty? single ‘Some People Say’.
Despite the serious subject matter, the tune comes in a mouth-watering pop wrapper as if confected by Depeche Mode, Jimmy Webb
(Wichita Lineman, Galveston) and a Dandy In The Underworld era Marc Bolan.

lyrics

Some People Say

Some people say that they’ve run out of gas
They say they can’t go on
No more racing, no adrenaline fix
Let’s turn those engines off
Some people act like they got no soul
They don’t seem so alarmed
Slow down, take your hands off the wheel
It’s nature’s shot in the arm

Sunrise coming over the hill
Let’s make life magnificent
It’s coming into view
All our wishes coming true

Some people can’t see the wood for the trees
Or the thunder from rain
God might have dealt you a difficult card
You mixed your pleasure with pain
No more patience for the mystery man
Somebody save the day
Is creation a miraculous deal
Cos the children want to know

Sunrise coming over the hill
Don’t stop now we’re depending on you (yeah)
It’s coming into view
All our wishes coming true

Somebody saved the day, save the day, save the day let the children play

about

Who Shot Liberty? London, UK

Who Shot Liberty? is the brainchild of songwriter and composer Dan Synge. He says: “A solo career has allowed me to express my once secret crush on Euro synth pop, 70’s glam rock and Latin jazz!” French Pop Radio Show EP was a tribute to the greats of French rock, while the follow up Dream About You revealed an edgier punk/disco vibe. The new single Some People Say is out in May 2023. ... more
