Song for today from yesterday
author: Doug
Another excellent album by Bill Mumy. The songs on this album are definitely thought provoking. The title track "Dying To Be Heard" is, in my opinion, one of the best of the best of Mr. Mumy's songs. Once again, with only a couple of exceptions, Bill has written, recorded and mixed the entire album. And from my previous experience with the amazing talent of this man, this is quite apparent. Even though these songs were released in 1997, the lyrics of "Yes You In The Blue" are amazingly pertinent to our current times. And with "The Ballad Of William Robinson", Mr. Mumy mixes his past acting experience on "Lost In Space" with his creative style of music.
Another quality album one must have to add to their Mumy music collection. Buy it! You won't regret it.

BILL MUMY IS DEFINITELY HEARD!
author: Holly
Yet another great cd from the miraculous Bill Mumy! Two of the most beautiful songs he has ever written are Our Beautiful Life and So I Sit By The Sea! Amazement is one of the many feelings you will get when you listen to these songs! You forgot he was from Lost In Space at first until you hear the enchanting song The Ballad of William Robinson! It was an absolutely wonderful song! All Lost in Space fans need to here that song! This album, yet again, is a must have for all of the die-hard Mumy fans out there! Yes, Bill is heard now! And beautifully at that!
Much love to you, Bill. xoxoxoxoxo

Most of us are Dying To Be Heard but usually we are not!
author: Cecilia
My favorite song here starts "Started off in Bishop, on my way to Denver" in Denver Thing - the tempo is dance music!
Nero's Fiddle reminded me of LA's riots and other madness.
Dying To Be Heard though is the big mystery. He pulls off a LA freeway to write both the music & words and they are both sad stories of urban life. I love the softness of both I Know We All Go and So I Sit By the Sea. They are his trademark swan songs to close out the CD. But the Ballad of Will Robinson is a simple, lonely cry from the empty skies of the heavens. He really needed a woman up there!!
