Jay Foreman 'Radio 4' (Live)

Jay Foreman performing his new track 'Radio 4' live at City Screen Basement in York

Even ignoring the comedy, what a wonderfully melodious tune! Jay is a absolutely
superb guitarist

This is possibly my favourite Jay Foreman song. It's very human, it deals with an important issue (the fallibility of authority, especially the media) in a funny way, and has great melody and guitar playing.

Edit: and the whistling. The whistling is good.

I would like to point out for all of those who don't know, Jays brother "Beardyman" is a frequent guest and has been a host on radio 4

This reminds me of a line from the Pretend You're happy song. All the things I trusted and believed are run by people just like me

[glapots]

Rhyming 'for' with '4', I like it

[FutureAbe]

Stuck in my head you’re a genius Jay Foreman

[alyburr]

Jay Foreman is such a great songwriter, this is awesome

[moothevegan]

Would be funny if this was played on radio 4

In a world of noise and ignorance, there's a place called Radio Four,
where they calmly tell you just what you need to know!
but the last time i tuned in, I heard someones voice i knew from before,
'cause he went to school with me in the year below!

I don't to what to think anymore, I don't believe in Radio Four!
i can't accept the authority of some who used to be younger then me!
i don't think I'll tune in anymore, I don't believe in Radio Four!
it never will be the same to me

all the world made sense and we were safe till I last heard Radio Four
,
the human endeavor showed signs of doing well!
but its now become an institution, I just cant love anymore
if crying, shorty, mcdandruff's there as well!

I don't know what to think any more, I don't believe in Radio Four
!
a simple humans fallible views,
can't be true and can't be the news.

no where to look ill stare at the floor
, I don't believe in Radio Four
I don't believe in the BBC


[whistles]

I don't have faith anymore, I don't believe in Radio Four
!
I'll have to face the world on my own
, slightly scared and so very alone

what will i use my radio for
? I don't believe in Radio Four,

and certainly not in radio three!

[derekmarshall]

I love this, I’ve been listening to this since Jay did his living room lockdown gig. Is the whistling the BBC pips ?

[Blue-Maned_Hawk]

It's crazy to think of how late in life some people will lose their childhood innocence.

[tomkenning]

This is great, always a good day when Jay uploads

[BoraCM]

Where can I find the music sheet for this song?

TWO COMMENTS? THIS NEEDS TO BE RECOGNISED

[fromthegamethrone]

Reminds me (in a good way) of Hey Hey 16k
