Disappointed fan// seem like a soulless band
I havnt followed catfish or this Reddit page in a while, got tickets for Australia and they cancelled last minute and watched everything unfold and was like wtf?!?!?? Ever since then I kinda zoned out and I used to fucking adore them. But ya know Iv been listening to Sam fender and like…. In comparison to showtime, it just makes me think that Vans writing just doesn’t have much depth anymore.
Like he’s writing about getting back to the graft again. It’s just so bland and dissapointing. GIVE IT SOME HEART AND SOUL.
I actually went to google the lyrics to showtime and google gave me cold chisel showtime instead (for the Australians) and my god even that kicks Van in the guts for lyricisms.
“And I'm kneeling in the backroom Crying Lord I'm just a trouper, let me play it one more time”
There’s something really lacking w catfish. They lost a lot of soul w ther music. And I’m not saying showtime is crap. It’s alright. It’s got something. I think it’s just missing a lot of truth and honesty and character and depth. And it’s not giving, I love music. I dunno if I’m being unreasonable?
