Free song download! Victim


Hi There Su Bloggers

The latest free download is a song called "Victim", written by Linda Dawson, it is one of seven songs that I purchased from her estate after her unfortunate death.

"Victim" was part of the Insisters repertoire in the early 80's and one of my favourite Dawson compositions. It was a song written in anger at the time, her anger against the world, her psychiatrist and anyone who kind of got in the way.... I have re-recorded it and tried to put a more quizical tone to it while retaining some of the harshness.

Enjoy

Hugs

Su

Download "If That's What You Want" mp3 by The Insisters - FREE

If That's What You Want was the first 7" single from The Insisters, co-written by Linda and Su in the early 80's.

Linda and Su are the only Insisters on this record, which was recorded in a studio one dark murky weekend with an errant sound engineer. Linda arranged it and played all instruments except drums, which were handled by Su. Sue did the lead vocals while joining Linda on backing vocals. The sessions were most certainly inspired by the Chinese take-away across the road in Jeppe St, Johannesburg City Centre. The song became "Berksie's" hit pick of the week on Radio 702 in 1981, and from there we launched into TV work and shot one of South Africa's first music videos for "Pop Shop".

It was a song written for Linda's then current infatuation - her psychiatrist. But, can be interpreted to cover many situations.

It was this song that caught the ear of Jonathan 'Rat' Handley and he signed us to Radium Wreckords his own label and got the then WEA Records and Benji Mudi to distribute and promote. Unfortunately the original master of this song has gone missing - if anyway one finds it or has it please get in touch with me.

I am going to re-record this song.

Hugs
Su

Free MP3 - Don't Hide Your Love From Me


Don't Hide Your Love From Me is a song written in the mid-70's.


Never recorded properly, and was never part of the Insisters repertoire.

It is one of my most sentimental slush-puppy songs, but seems to have stood the test of time.

Some things never change and I am as full of romantic gush now as I was then, probably worse.

Candlelight, good food and red wine. Holding hands across the table.
