High energy rocker for Soundclick's 25th anniversary
pop rock guitar
Artist picture
Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
A brand new song written for the Clickers Club Soundclick 25th anniversary song challenge, this is about that constant need for music many of us share. a raw-edged rock tune that hopefully steps outside the formula with some oddball chord changes (yes there is a D to G# in there) and an unusual bridge. I've been on Soundclick since 2008 and I'm not going anywhere - great site, great people. Big thanks to the site owners and many congratulations for 25 years in a tough business. Profuse thanks are also due to Rodz and Carlo for their untiring efforts on this little club - a constant source of wonders and a haven for unsung talent. I've learned so much being on here and I'm sure many others have too. Rock on.
Lyrics
Alive or dead? Silent animation Is suspended by a thread Can't abide the quiet The sounds I like Sound more like some kind of riot It's something that you can't resist Watching that picture disc spin around The algorithm won't compute Take the machine off mute Click sound Click sound Click sound click Soundclick Click sound click Soundclick Click sound click Soundclick Click sound Silence is grey I need something To sing some colour into my day I can't hack the stillness Soundtrack addiction's an affliction It's an illness We're all helpless fools Watching those cassette spools spin around The algorithm won't compute Take the machine off mute Click sound Click sound Click sound click Soundclick Click sound click Soundclick click Click sound click Soundclick Click sound Running to a clicktrack My kick is a drum Looking for feedback And that pickup hum But the song's the thing That makes me tick See that play button Have to click Click sound click Soundclick Click sound click Soundclick Click sound click Soundclick Click sound It's something that you can't resist Watching that picture disc spin around The algorithm won't compute Take the machine off mute Click sound Click sound Click sound click Soundclick Click sound click Soundclick click Click sound click Soundclick Click sound Click sound Click Soundclick

High octane right out of the gate. Always amazed by the consistent craftsmanship. The turnaround from brilliant minor verse to brilliant major chorus via that brilliant pre-chorus is, er, well brilliant.

Oh yeah, a real ballsy rock song version. No one does this as good as you. This is 100% your 'sound' and it certainly 'clicks' with me. See what I did there. Dare I say that there's even a touch of a Rocked up Steve Hillage in that solo? Excellent. Good luck Steve.

Stunningly good!! What a great hook & melody! Love the punchy, dynamic styling - perfect for a vibrant, busy music site! Superb job on the lyrics & the riff just stays with you long after the song has stopped playing. A magnificent job!
