I feel that the voice is not loud enough compared to the piano.

Philadelphia’s super-group, Guerrilladelphia, have released a driving and celebratory updated version of their 2008 World Series hype anthem, “Unstoppable” with a shout-along chorus that exclaims, “there’s just no stopping us! It’s all Philly tonight! It’s all Philly!” The song is a sonic throwback to over-indulgence with distorted guitars, stadium rock vibes, the Eagle’s Jason Kelce, Phillies announcer Harry Kalas and nods to Live Aid and Led Zeppelin cassettes in old Corvettes that is bound to please and get the heart pumping of any Phils fan pregaming the Series this week.

Don McCloskey's new verse of “Unstoppable” is not your typical jock jam faire. Filled with Philly nostalgia from driving to Veteran’s Stadium blasting a Led Zeppelin cassette to the massive Live Aid Concert in ‘85, the ghosts of Philly-sports-past converge with the present-day tailgaters in the JETRO Lot and the pre-gamers on the mechanical bull at Xfinity Live to pour into a modern day Roman coliseum to ring the bell so hard it cracks. 

 If Robyn’s “Dancing on my Own” is the feel good sing-a-long after a Phillies win, “Unstoppable” is the locally-sourced, organically made, pre-game rallying cry to get the hometown crowd rowdy.

Lyrics:

There's just no stopping us!!
It's all philly tonight, it's all Philly!!

It's that champion sound, Philadelphia
Base loaded, we explosive
Bang it out the park watch the crowd get open
Wylin out get rowdy and loud
Y'all know what I'm talkin' 'bout
City of brothery lo-o-o-o-ove
Streets crowded North to South
Marching cause the city proud (Heeeeey!)
World Series y'all hear me out
We repeat, stamp our mark in the game
we play with all heart
Yeah Philly's the name
Bases loaded we explosive 
Bang it out the park watch the crowd get open
Bases loaded we explosive 
Illadleph y'all, the game's over
The game's over.

There's just no stopping us!
It's all Philly tonight. It's all Philly!!!

Turn it up
Like your uncle heading down to The Vet
Engine roarin' in the old Corvette
95 like a speed limit sign
Lit cigarette and a Led Zep cassette 
This is a retro tracks for the freaks in Jetro
Who worked all work now it's time to go(Gooooooooooo!)
Act a fool, doing back flips off mechanical bulls
We on parade tonight
Stadium lights
'85 Live Aid tonight
Cause if it's bread & circus 
We the berserkest
Punch the clock and it's back to work 
When the time comes we bang the war drums 
Philly hot, Philly fire
Here it comes
Get crazy raising hell
Then hit it so hard that you crack the bell
We on a roooooooooollll

A late-stage rehearsal straight to cassette for reference. Recorded shortly before going into the studio, probably at John Henry rehearsal rooms. This is Mark on guitar, Lee on drums, and myself on piano and organ (the bass was always addressed in the studio once the basic track was down, which is why it doesn't feature here).
It's best to take the 8 minutes out and listen to the end, preferably in headphones, and in a quiet space,

Genesis

This is something I originally wrote in the late 1980s, but always thought it had a sort of 1970s feel to it. I had written lyrics for the first verse and chorus, but my friend Christian Beach, at one point, wrote different lyrics and called the song "A Second Look." But "A Second Look" never really made it to fruition. I finally finished off the lyrics for the rest of the verses and bridge over the past few years and re-recorded it. This is a 2014 remix of a 2012 recording of the song I originally posted here.

October 23, 1993- Joe Carter wins Game 6 of the World Series with a series-ending walk-off home run.

Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas on the call

Harry Kalas On Joe Carter Walk - Off HR

so terrified that he'll hear this song

°lyrics°

There’s a giant of a man 
named Will Perdue 
just two inches short of seven foot two 
 you won’t find his name in any hall of fame 
but in the early 90’s for thirteen minutes each game  
he was a backup big man for the Chicago bulls 
I’ve been going through his stats 
‘cause I’d really like to know 
why the Spurs traded for him back in 1995 
will, teach me your ways 
teach me how to survive  

Will Perdue  you’re a champion
like a tomato’s a fruit
 somehow traded straight up for Dennis Rodman 
four years go by, he gets a ring again 
Will Perdue  I wanna be like you  

So kick back and relax 
you’ve earned it, Will 
you fought through 13 long seasons
 on such a meagre set of skills 
y’all spanked the Pistons so hard they sucked for ten years 
you hit one single three pointer in your entire career
 against Seattle in December ’91  
without your 13 points the bulls wouldn’t have won
 but wait 
basketball-reference’s “Wins Over Replacement” gives you a negative ranking 
you had a hell of an agent, Will  

you’re like the blue, blue sky
 reflecting and refracting better lights nearby  
Will Perdue, you played your cards right
 22 million career earnings on 4.7 points a night 
Will Perdue  I wanna be like you

  old figures cast aside
 the game marches on 
we may have forgotten Will
 but he has as many rings as Lebron  

there’s nothing here to learn 
there’s nothing we can do 
 if you’re hearing this song
 you’re not as tall as Will Perdue 
his is a template no one else can use 
his is a path I would kill to choose  
punched by Michael Jordan 
coached by Phil Jackson and Pop
 millionaire and family man 
couldn’t get free throws to drop 
extraordinary 
 and unremarkable, too
 former NBA center
 Will Perdue
