about
- "It really stands out as the sort of song that would send shivers down your spine if you were to hear it being performed live."
Rebecca Cullen - Exposed Vocals
Inspired by Queen’s emblematic “The Show must go on” Dimitris Chrisanthakopoulos (music,lyrics) and George Paloumpis (vocals)[pictured on the cover] release their international debut under the wings of the Greek label POLYMUSIC: “The show went on”, a progressive pop song that does not reveal all it’s intricacies with a first hasty listening, while remaining within the boundaries of radio-friendliness.
With it’s high-standard production (101 Sound Studios), lush arrangement (full flegged strings and brass sections, a choral ensemble, and a small rock band united), and caleidoscopic lyrics accompanying George Paloumpis’ charismatic performance, “The show went on” is a song aimed at a world-wide audience, and dedicated to everyone that believes that no matter what, the show goes on!
lyrics
THE SHOW WENT ON
So in a world of “ones” and “zeroes”
No place for “twos” no place for heroes
Well, that’s how it goes
And in a city full of strangers
No queen no throne
Just hold my hand so we can dance alone…
And carry on – the show goes on
So take me home – before it’s gone
A thousand ends and still beginning
Everyone scores but no one’s winning
Still, we’re keeping score
The show goes on and nothing changes
Please stay a while
Go wear your face and find a matching smile
And put it on – let’s dance alone
The show goes on – and then it’s gone
And where it goes – nobody knows
So take me home – before it’s gone
Just let it go – it’s just a show
We dance alone – then go back home
Go with the show every night and be clever
Strike a pose and be gone with the wind
Go till it’s gone for it goes on forever
No one got hurt no one sinned
Sleep every night in your morningless places
Wake every day in a new different bed
For now the show goes on inside your head
And there it stays – the DJ plays
That famous song – we’ve danced along
Take of your face – we’ll find a place
To call it home – the show went on
Oh! The show went on - (the show went on)
But I don’t want to go with the show, on and on, on and
On, I’ll stay here waiting, dancing and dancing alone
The show went on – be brave and strong
The DJ plays – his final song
Inside your head – the show goes on
So you can stay – but I’ll be gone
Before you know –a brand new show
We dance alone – then go back home
