The Fish In My Bathroom |
Well, I was quite certain Oh, no, it was not locked up. You should always lower the toilet-lid. He was standing there, The Fish In My Bathroom "Nice to see you, Mister Fish." Fishes need water! I enliven him with the jet The Fish In My Bathroom The fish in my bathroom I was born under the sign of Aquarius - Old fish, I need a windplayer for my brassband, The fish in my bathroom He can't play the trumpet He even doesn't sound fishy to me |
Musicians: J.O. Simon (vocals, guitars and keyboards) Reviews NIGE and TREV: Yes! We want the fish to pay OUR bills.. Hmmm... Nige'n'Trev are normally very suspicious of anything Fish-like due to a traumatic childhood experience with an angry Anableps but this slick JO Simon composition soon washed away our fears. We were immediately lulled into a pleasant but false sense of security thinking it was going to be just a standard blues song but we'd forgotten about Mr. Simon's unique imaginative musical creativity and we were soon marvelling open mouthed and dribbling at the unexpected twists, turns and changes in this classy composition. Humourous and excellently written lyrics with a wonderful effortless quality to the vocal phrasing. (Those JO harmonies are just so SMOOOOTH!) An inspired arrangement & production that is anything but predictable (We LOVE the panned marimba at 1:51!)and it goes without saying that the bursts of juicy guitar playing are of the highest quality. The fish may be 'really boring' but the song is SUPERB! Paul Nery: I hope it´s not the singer from Marillion...neither a "candiru". Candiru is a Brazilian fish (from the Amazon river)...oh well...they like to...forget it... the quality of the recording is amazing! Superb mixing work as usual. The arrangement is fantastic, as well as the vocals... So many things to listen , small piano , guitar and brass parts... The guitar is particularly great! Congrat J.O.! Tetsuroh Konishi: It's very nice title "The fish of my bathroom" And This song is very unique !! I always think, Your chorus work is very beautifull indeed!!! By the way, Is middle of song trumpet sound real? or sampling? J.O.: The trumpet is real, played by Jörn Bösel cboggess: Oh, yeah, those smooth, tight harmonies! Puts me in a liquid state, if I am allowed to say so. Great to hear your imagination played out in each of your pieces. This, of course, is no exception. The trumpet is a nice touch, too! I can never wait to see and hear what you come up with next. More exciting than receiving the new issue of Bass Player! Crystal Anthony Marcus: It was truly a pleasure working with this man on the "Enlightenment" track on my page. I always knew he was a "Zappa Head", but this one takes the cake. Once again, J.O. Simon delivers nothing less than the very best. |
