In general, I appreciate a self-deprecating sense of humor in people and also in artists who don't take themselves too seriously. Justin, you have those qualities in spades. So let me say that you may not acknowledge it, but there are countless individuals who feel you are one of the best songwriters of our time. Given your extensive discography and the fact I've had the pleasure of seeing many of your live performances, I happen to agree. May the Lower Reaches bring you a Higher Peace.
It's been said already quite a few times below, but this IS better than the album version...which I already thought was pretty damn good. Big thanks for posting!
This version is awesome like it better than the album version note to Texas studio bands YOU DON'T NEED LAP STEEL ON EVERYTHING ! Lol keep it up me currie
Great song, looking forward to seeing you live and back with your amigos next year. Keep up the good work JC and I agree with DrMorris you should post some more live acoustic performances on here.
I agree and I disagree with you Glinda. Mike McCarthy did a great job on Little Stars, Every Song's The Same", and Into A Pearl but didn't do any favors for Priscilla and Falsetto. I wish Justin would release an acoustic version of the Lower Reaches album (perhaps with My Soul Is Stolen). He might called Acoustic Reaches.
Can anyone get me chords for both guitarists parts ? Would love to sing this drunk to my girl . Even the uploader could manage to pass on the chords i reckon lol Regards
Wheel me to the theatre, it’s gonna be a ball That shadow that shuts on life is the Greatest love of all I calculate some way to keep it still Make the approaching panic that’s so keen to kill Bend to my will Strap me in and shut me up, bring the actors in Two pills in a paper cup, here we go again They swing out the big light I know the drill But I won’t slip away from them, not until They bend to my will So I face the gaping lion’s mouth with a little grin And I feel my body going south so I take the scenery in They say there is a moment when you spill But my only confession is I won’t leave her until She bends to my will

Justin has the best voice on the planet
Love this version. 💚
We agree Glinda. The "What Is Love For" album is masterfully produced and one of the best albums of all-time.
Justin Currie. A master songwriter and performer. Cheers from Houston, Texas, mate.
All recordings at the Kyoti Studios are TOP! A super talented and ingenious singer & ssongwriter! 🎤 Authentic, natural...just perfect!
🌈🤗❤️
I love this man. Enough said.
we absolutely need an acoustic album with these versions from Justin!

I think I like the acoustic version better than the album version. I don't like that producer on Lower Reaches.

id love the words for this song
Wheel me to the theatre, it’s gonna be a ball
That shadow that shuts on life is the
Greatest love of all
I calculate some way to keep it still
Make the approaching panic that’s so keen to kill
Bend to my will
Strap me in and shut me up, bring the actors in
Two pills in a paper cup, here we go again
They swing out the big light I know the drill
But I won’t slip away from them, not until
They bend to my will
So I face the gaping lion’s mouth with a little grin
And I feel my body going south so I take the scenery in
They say there is a moment when you spill
But my only confession is I won’t leave her until
She bends to my will
