The Guy on TV (original by des0free)

[Nelson]

Love the lyrics and The panned guitars sound great.
Got that Margaritaville vibe.
Instant classic camp fire song.
Nicely done

[WarpCanada]

Nice song and the mix sounds great.    Getting a bit of Wreckless Eric vibe.

Not a blackout bump: I went to your jukebox and clicked something down the list a bit.

I love this! It's straightforward and honest. Writing like this sounds simple, but it's not – not for me, anyway.

This is like an different take on CCR's "Proud Mary." But "Proud Mary" speaks of life on the river like tourist who made some facile observations on a vacation he claims changed his life. (It didn't.) "The Guy on TV," is much more convincing. I believe that this guy has found his zone.

When I was stuck in Arizona for most of 2020 (unable to return to Madagascar) I started to explore local Arizona music, and somehow discovered Tyler Blue Broderick who's "band" is called Diners. Described as "friendly pop songs." He's not particularly famous (even in Arizona), but his vibe is a lot like yours.

EDIT: I'm the fifth person to use the word "vibe" in a comment on this song. I think we like your vibe.
