about

'Limelight' emerges twitching, writhing, pulsing and electronically convulsing. Like Bowie and Suicide in hi-fidelity 4K, 'Limelight' is hypnotic, with waning vintage synths and tribal-esque drums, the latter evolving from the coal freight trains passing through regional NSW. The middle of the song blossoms into glittering star and spark melodies before the lights again dim and the mood darkens.

Across six minutes Wade uses his voice as ancillary instrument to the machines at his disposal, creating a rhythmic, textural exposition on a family of industry grifters. "It retells the story of a stoned sound guy continually telling the same obsessive story daily about some lame “IKEA” band he had been touring with whilst on tour with myself and my band. Yuck!" recalls Wade.

lyrics

LIMELIGHT

You rat faced fuck
and bimbo brother
smoking’ dope with Dad
the failed film maker

friends of the actor
shake it up, shake it up
shake it
let’s go cruising
let’s go cruisin’
with your bimbo brother
shake it up

limelight
smoking’ dope with Dad
shake it up

Dream, stream

The boys, the boys
for the boys
boys
limelight for the boys
for the boys
