Seth Swirsky – It’s Still Love
“You don’t need an invitation to go and plant one seed.” With that permission I shall plant the seed of advice to eartaste readers – this is a fun album. You’ve heard me rant on and on about The Red Button. Well, as I begin this rant about Seth you’ll understand why – he’s one of the creative voices in The Red Button. Does this reach the self-established standards Red Button has set? Yes. And, in truth it is an earlier album, but I was curious as to the roots of these guys. “It’s still love, I believe, that the world’s aching for.” I’m old enough to remember how we believed that was going to happen. So, I was naïve about the imperialism that is the United States. No matter, I still believe it’s possible with good leadership, and I’m agreeing with Seth – “It’s still love that we need.” The shoutout tune is a totally different type of song – a poetic meditation on a friend – Roger. Outstanding production. Seth Swirsky

SEth is a hypocrite to the highest degree. "it's still love" he professes as he writes about his support of geogre bush and the republican war monging machine on his website. Seth, is it still love while our young soldiers are dying in a civil war whose reason for getting in was a sham? Mr. Swirsky is a "still" a phony.
I went to seth's website - www.seth.com - and read the note you were talking about. Most of it was vitriolic against the democrats. I'm also against the democrats - for different reasons, I guess. Not one of them stood up to fight what I still consider an illegal war.
Anyway, as much as I am against the war, I'll support Seth's right to write whatever he chooses. He does, apparently, support George Bush. So do 5 or 6 others in the world. A person can be wrong and still write great songs, and I'm here to tell you Seth writes great songs.
I actually took "It's Still Love" as a diatribe against Bush, which just goes to show you can read whatever you want into a song.
I'm so against what Bush has caused to happen that I hear anti-bush n everything these days. If I hear a child doing his scales (My Dog Has Fleas) I picture the dog as my country and the fleas as Bush and Cheney.
