about

Joel Stanton's Pay Me Please is the second single from his upcoming album, In Harmony. The song confronts the ego-bruising nature of the creative hustle, on a bed of analog synths and groovy rhythms. The single is accompanied by a video; a jumble of cheeky public domain clips from 1950s films.

lyrics

Big game incoming
Earth tones and clean living
We upgrade, but no fame
About fifteen years in the making

Rock life, free women
Rock wife and two children
We showed up, we play out
Three or four times around the nation

Stepping up everything
Feel the chorus in your jeans
Flashing lights, LED
Hollywood, pay me please

Is it time, time to let go
The illusion of the midnight show?
Is it time, time to let it go?
Do we owe our life to rock and roll?

Truth told I’m changing
Losing my patience
The new sound we compound
For three or four weeks in rotation

Stepping up everything
Feel the rhythm, energy
Flashing lights, LED
Hollywood, pay me please
