about

“They’re already laughing / might as well join in” sings Paisley Fields in their newest single “Over The Radio Waves”. The song explores the secret defenses you need when society paints you as the outcast, an entertainer on display simultaneously revered and mocked. Written from the perspective of a rodeo clown, Paisley and co-writer Aaron Lee Tasjan tell a story of how our protagonist is saved when a country song comes on the radio. Aaron says, "Working with Paisley Fields on the writing and recording of Over The Radio Waves was life affirming for me! They are achieving inspiring new heights as an artist on this track. It was a very special moment to be part of!" The song was produced by Andrija Tokic at the Bomb Shelter in Nashville, and the accompanying video was filmed & directed by Kate Sweeney on location at a rodeo in New Jersey.

lyrics

They're already laughing
Might as well join in
I'll play the joker like they made me
I've been the punchline
For all to see
Secretly saved by a melody

Caught in a moment
A song in slow motion
Over the radio waves
Then came a voice
Like tears of joy
Over the radio waves

Under the spell of arena lights
Refracted by kicked up clouds of dust
Sweat on my brow
Paint in my eyes
Watching the cowboys riding by

Caught in a moment
A song in slow motion
Over the radio waves
Then came a voice
Like tears of joy
Over the radio waves

Off on the side there's a medic standing by
1000 pairs of eyes trained on me
From the speakers through the air
A country song blares
And I'm just lifted away

Caught in a moment
A song in slow motion
Over the radio waves

Yippie kiyayay the cowboys ride away

about

Paisley Fields New York

Paisley Fields writes country music. His songs are tender and authentic, but also pretty good with a joke. They’re mindful of tradition, but deeply informed by his singular background -- as a teenage Midwestern church pianist, a Manhattan piano bar survivor, and a touring member of pioneering queer country outfit, Lavender Country. ... more
