The Unblinking Eye Limited Edition CD Out Now
Roger Taylor "The Unblinking Eye (Everything is Broken)"

Twelve years have passed since Taylor last expressed himself so openly (with "Electric Fire"). Any thoughts that those passing years may have dulled Taylor's sharp edge are immediately dispelled with the arrival of a new solo single from Taylor, "The Unblinking Eye (Everything is Broken)".

"What happened to the protest song?" Taylor's liner notes for the new single ask, lamenting "music is now so polished, shiny and predictable, we have forgotten to try and 'say something with it'.

"I am getting old and like everyone, have the right to say something about the 'state of control' we live under - powerless to do anything about it. "

So what riles Taylor enough to ruffle the now famous goatee and goad him sufficiently to want to go public with his concerns?

In what comes across as both frustration and bridled fury, Taylor's song weighs into those elected to govern our everyday lives:

..."In case you hadn't noticed...The high street is full of holes...We are fighting a pointless war which is killing our young soldiers and which we simply cannot afford....the nation is not only broke but utterly bankrupt...we are spied upon by 5 million cameras...We have thousands of petty rules and regulations - more than ever before - no wonder people are bewildered and confused...As a nation we own almost nothing including "our" water, electricity, gas, airspace and major manufacturers. Personal privacy is non-existent. We are directionless.

"I'm p*****d off - you should be too."

Taylor is encouraging others sharing his feelings of frustration to similarly express themselves. The single "The Unblinking Eye (Everything is Broken)" also carries a fully instrumental track Taylor has called "Almost Completely Nude" to provide a vehicle for others to write and perform their own protest song.

"You know who to send it to," says Taylor.

"The Unblinking Eye (Everything is Broken)" out now.
