Shannon Smith Drops New Single “Started Off With Lies,” Set for Live Debut at December 8th Show
In a thrilling blend of confession and catchy tunes, Fremantle’s own Shannon Smith will release his latest single, “Started Off With Lies,” on November 29. This is a track that mixes upbeat rhythms with a backstory that’s as raw as they come. Not content with just dropping the track on streaming platforms, Shannon plans to give the song its live debut at the much-anticipated December 8th show at the Duke of George—a night that promises to blend music, storytelling, and a healthy dose of theatrical flair.
“Started Off With Lies” dives deep into the themes of deception and the liberating power of truth, all set against an infectious pop-rock backdrop that makes you want to dance and reflect at the same time. The single emerges not only as a catchy tune but as a cathartic release from Shannon, who admits the song was born from a personal revelation and the consequences of coming clean.
“The song is about those moments when you realize you’ve started something important with a lie,” Shannon explains. “It’s about the struggle and the eventual relief of coming clean. Yeah, it starts off a bit dark, but it’s really about finding freedom in honesty.”
And what better place to celebrate such freedom than on stage in front of a live audience? The upcoming show isn’t just any performance; it’s a full-scale musical event where Shannon Smith and Helen Townsend will perform the narrative-driven mini-series, LOVE the Music That Binds Us, live for the first time. The evening promises a seamless blend of live music and storytelling, with each song—including the new single—interwoven into a larger narrative arc, all under the watchful eye and witty narration of Dan Wilson.
“This single is a big deal for me, and launching it at the Duke of George during this special show just feels right,” says Shannon. “It’s going to be a night of raw emotion, great music, and maybe a little bit of redemption.”
