Seven Days In Vegas (With Floyd Jane) - 08/31/18 04:17 PM
This was actually my first introduction to BIAB. I had written and recorded a song called Seven Days in Vegas, that was primarily guitar driven, that I posted in another forum. I had envisioned a Springsteen type arrangement. Floyd heard it and contacted me, offering to provide some BIAB tracks, including piano, to solidify a more Springsteen like arrangement. He sent me some piano tracks, a rhythm guitar track, an organ track, as well as drum and bass tracks, from BIAB. I am uncertain of what particular files were used. However, I soon thereafter ordered BIAB for myself. I was hooked. Floyd also kindly agreed to add backing vocals to this song. Everything on here is BIAB, except the lead guitar, acoustic guitar and a portion of the bass, which were played by me. As I recall, there may be some drums, as well, which had been programmed with Drummer, in Logic X, which is where I mixed all the tracks. Lead vocal is me, with Floyd on backing vocals.

VERSE 1
Seven days in Vegas
I spent searching for the prize
Now I'm back in Southern Jersey
Manufacturing a lie
From the Gulf of Mississippi
To the Atlantic City shore
I've rolled the dice too often
When I win I just want more
CHORUS
I'm livin' in a ghost town
My ex calls me a clown
Livin' in a ghost town
Her lawyer's got me down
The bank just called my mortgage
And my odds ain't looking real good
Seven days in Vegas (x3)
There's only crap
Where I once stood
VERSE 2
I was dealt two bullets
So I split without a thought
The ten grand for her necklace
Was just the tragic loss
The dealer turned a dewey
As I choked back on the bile
A deuce was soon to follow
And the dealer cracked a smile
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I hit a natural high
When I turn a one eyed jack
But then the next card rolls
Just like a knife in the back
It seems with table games
I've lost my little knack
It's really no big deal
Tomorrow I'll hit the track
SOLO
CHORUS
