"With the release of "The Shot Heard Round The World", Tim Piper has encapsulated his love and appreciation for that moment in time 50 years ago when the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. That seminal moment for Tim rings true throughout this new release. Infused with a pop sentimentality with lyrics taking us back in time when the fab four brought our country out of darkness and changed the world forever".
BIO: TIM PIPER, musician, actor and songwriter and a member of various Beatles tribute bands, Piper has distinguished himself as the pre-eminent 'John Lennon'; with roles in the CBS production of "The Linda McCartney Story," E! Channel's productions of the "The Last Days of John Lennon," and "Beatle Wives," and more recently as the singing voice of John Lennon for the NBC TV Movie of the Week, "In His Life -The John Lennon Story."
lyrics
The Shot Heard Round the World
Fifty years and counting, though it seems like yesterday,
Sunday night in black and white we heard the angels play.
The shot heard round the world,
The likes of which we've never known before.
For the first time in forever there was magic in the air,
Now we knew that love was everywhere.
Camelot had fallen, the king was on the ground,
A nation lay in mourning waiting for the sound.
Then came the shot heard round the world,
The likes of which we've never known before.
For the first time in forever there was magic in the air,
Now we knew love was everywhere.
And it's still echoing… can you hear?
Flowers in the summer, revolution close behind,
They shouted from the rooftops, you know they blew our minds.
Fifty years and counting, and a thousand years from now.
We still will hear the voices that changed the world somehow.
It was the shot heard round the world,
The likes of which we've never known before.
For the first time in forever there was magic in the air,
Now we knew love was everywhere.
