https://soundcloud.com/kfl44/the-miracle-mileThe Miracle Mile © 2015 K Leverett 8/09/15 A young Elvis in the elevator Checking out all the chicks with small feet But burning love’s in the incinerator And even the King can have a bad week A street troubador playing Hillbilly rhythm Shuffle up and drop a dollar in his case But like big E I’m busting outta this blue hotel And I’m off to join the human race I said I’m gonna make a change for the better It’ll get better in a little while Cause I’ll be riding with Johnny in his big black Caddy Cruisin down the miracle mile The miracle mile Well I got off the train in Memphis My inner compass spinning out of control The air filled with the smell of fried chicken As I wandered down the streets of soul Checked into a room with dark curtains Sent a message to the one I love so true Maybe you could see me for old times sake Maybe it’s the least you can do You’ll see I’m gonna make a change for the better It’ll get better when it can’t get worse Cause I’ll be riding with Johnny in his big black Caddy But we’ll both be leaving in a hearse Down the miracle mile The miracle mile And I’m trying to find something more real Cause people forget what you say Even forget what you do But they don’t forget how you make them feel And so I’m gonna make a change for the better It’ll get better in a little while Cause I’ll be riding with Johnny in his big black Caddy Cruisin down the miracle mile The miracle mile Going nowhere, but riding in style, down the miracle mile Bass: 2260 Funky Groove 60s Drums: Funky Groove 60s Piano: 2157 Electric Vintage Guitar: 2158 Funky Groove 60s Guitar: 637 Roots Rock Dirty Guitar: 1167 Soloist - Brent Horn Section: 2348 Funk 2 Part

Hi Kenny,
very groovy. Great lyrics and vocals. I especially like your background vocals. Very enjoyable toe tapping listen.

Nice tune. Wonderfully quirky lyrics and I really liked the horns and backing vocals coming in. I might make the horns a bit louder in the mix. The desperation in the lead vocal really makes the song convincing. A good listen!

Absolutely love this one!! The music track is so natural and soulful. The vocals just work perfectly. How did you record and process the lead vocal? This is one of the most organic, natural sounding tracks I've heard on the forum. I'll say it again--Loved it!! Take care. Greg

Rob Wow, thanks, I don't know too much about Green Day, they did an excellent job backing Ringo on his Rock n Roll Hall of Fame induction, if you had a chance to see that. Weird is a good thing, we need more weird, thanks for listening and commenting. Kenny

Guenter Thanks, just what I was going for, some feel good with a little Memphis Mafia confessions thrown in the mix. Kenny

Thanks for listening and commenting, I went back and forth on the horn section mix a few times, I just wanted a taste of it in there but it probably should've been pushed to the front a little more. I appreciate your input. Kenny

Thank you for sharing your art with us. This is a wonderful forum for posting original music. Not to mention a great product for creating music. You have found a suburb community of generous artists who love to listen to, and comment on other artists songs. If only to give feedback to others who are also sharing their art.

Yes I have, thanks for pointing this out. There are some very creative people here, and surprisingly open minded for a lot of folks that I know are experiencing their 5th or 6th decades of being on earth. This is a great community and I already feel a closeness and admiration for many here.

Greg Thanks Greg, I always appreciate your comments and enthusiasm, and I'm a fan of your music too! On the vocals, I wish I could tell you something useful, sometimes I get lucky. A lot of times I'll clone or record a second lead vocal and mix one dry with one with effects. This time I ran the vocal thru Izotope Nectar 2 Indie Folk and Sons setting (for a start) I used the harmony setting to create a unison vocal which thickens it nicely to my ear, tweaked the reverb and eq, killed the delay all together and stopped when it sounded good in my headphones, yes phones, good reference speakers would be better for sure but I'm too deaf in one ear and usually do my mix in phones. Thanks again, Kenny

Awesome, Kenny!
A very cool song - terrific write. The opening is exquisite!
Excellent vocals. Excellent arrangement, production and mix. The horns are done perfectly.
This is good stuff! Top notch. A little Petty, a little Costello, a little Memphis, a little Detroit...
Cool.
