New Song (The Who song)

"New Song" is the first track from The Who's album Who Are You. It was written by Pete Townshend.

Lyrics

The lyrics of "New Song" are about FM radio's demand for bands to clone their previous hits.Pete Townshend, the author of the song, once said, "This is a diatribe against the requirements of FM radio (at the time) for every band of the day to produce 'clones' of their earlier successful airplay hits. This was my signal to everyone that I had decided to deal a wonky deck full of theatrical parodies and anachronisms. Needless to say, the song didn't get airplay and neither did it make the critics happy. Great sounding cut, such a pity it is full of such cynical sentiment."

Music

Like many of Who Are You's songs, "New Song" features a slick production sound, as well as the use of synthesizers."'New Song' was the first song I ever wrote on a polyphonic synthesizer. It was blocked out on an ARP OMNI, that company's first polyphonic machine. It may have been the first multi-voice synth ever. But I cheated quite a lot; it had only one filter and envelope-shaping amplifier.", Townshend said.
