Radio Owlsnest Episode 48 - On Air with Martin Page

  • Resumen

  • Hello my lovely “Fowlheads” - I mean “OwlHeads” (I didn’t mean to offend you). We’re back for another journey into my deep song archives. I’m quite amazed how many rarities are still to be found in the dusty vaults ... and I start the show by playing a movie song I wrote way back in the day, which for the life of me, I can’t recall what bloody blockbuster I wrote it for! I just know it was for a Jerry Bruckheimer film, so I had to have explosions in the song every 30 seconds or so. I’ll spin a song I wrote with Bernie Taupin that helped land him his solo recording deal with RCA records in the 80s. There are terrific John Mellencamp vibes to be found here. When Bernie’s solo album, “Tribe”, came out, it eventually appeared as a B-side for a single release. And I can’t resist playing you a Gaelic/Celtic-tinged demo from the naughty 90s that espouses the thrill of returning home to one’s birthright country - in this case, the Bonny highlands of Scotland. I was thinking Rod Stewart, Simple Minds, Big Country when I began this unfinished ditty. While scouring the bounced files of my overused studio computer, I found a pre-mix of a track featured on my 2008 solo album, “In the Temple Of The Muse” - a song called “Try”. I’ll play it here to illustrate the subtle nuances of how a song I’m producing makes its final journey towards being the “Master”. And I touch up a favorite song of mine with added new percussion, drum and bass guitar overdubs. I love the process of “re-painting/re-visualizing” an old song of mine. I want to share its new visage with you here. And bugger me, I bring back the “Martin Page Quiz” on this month’s episode. I’ll be asking you six incredibly hard questions about my musical career. If you get at least four of these right, well then you are truly a divine “OwlHead” of mighty countenance! I’ll spin a track that promotes tolerance, empathy and open-mindedness: As Shakespeare once said, “Un Sex Me”…. And, as I sometimes absolutely adore to do, I’ll play a brand new fresh spanking track that’s in the making as we speak. A song called “Dearest Hope”, wherein I imagine “hope” as an old, wise, world-weary man who has gone missing from the long suffering community. When he eventually returns, tired and with the weight of the world on his shoulders, he’s welcomed with desperate open arms and hearts. For hope … is life’s victory. So join old man Hope by the fire for a while and throw away those cares and tribulations. It’s time to fly away with the “OwlHeads”. Martin x 🦉
