Where's The Money Mr Blair Salisbury, Wilts, UK |
 Raising Awareness December 21, 2005
Written by sazerac
I’d like to congratulate you and everyone involved on the result of your effort, Where’s the Money, Mr. Blair? I expected some pointed/clever writing, but was happy to hear the quality of the song as a piece of music to be in my estimation, exceptional. That’s a rather convoluted way of saying, "Well done, Vicar. I love the song."
I find the chorus sticks with me throughout the day, which can only be a good thing - especially in the context of a song intended to raise awareness. Another sign of quality is that the instrumental mix also stands on it’s own - the orchestration feels particularly British (from this American’s perspective) and reveals a commitment to quality not usually present in activist endeavors.
Raising awareness requires the broadest of audiences - so it would be folly to employ a musical style that generally appeals to a specialized musical pallette; it would be unreasonable for the listener to have an expectation of a Crimson-esque composition. In terms of musical style, I think the song is strategically, as well as musically, sound.

Sorry, Vic. It’s not the music media’s fault this time. I haven’t so viscerally (Vicarally?) reached for the ’stop’ button in ages. Maybe he’ll send the money just to end the suffering inflicted by this appalling Read more
