Thanks for listening,

A Card In Fate’s Right Hand
© 2015 K Leverett

From the day you were born you were trapped
With these black Kentucky hills at your back
Even before the strip miners took so much away
It never seemed to go your way
Still waiting for a better day

And you say that your life
Hasn’t turned out like you planned
Darlin’ you must be a card in fates right hand
When you put all your trust
In an angry man
Darlin’ you are just a card in fates right hand

And you keep betting on a long shot to come in
Then wonder why it is you never can win
Settled for a mining man
Thought he had bigger plans

With all the dirt beneath your painted fingernails
You’ve long since given up on any fairy tales

And you say that your life
Hasn’t turned out like you planned
Darlin’ you must be a card in fates right hand
When you put all your faith
In an angry man
Darlin’ you are just a card in fates right hand

Darlin’ you must be a card in fates right hand

Thanks for posting. This is a really nice song and performance and the lyrics are well written. Good emotion in your vocals and backing vocals were a nice added touch. I thought the overall mix was good. Look forward to hearing more from you soon.

I really enjoyed how you put this together. All the background parts creating a soup of sounds and the drum and your vocals propelling the story through it. your vocal phrasing reminded me of Tommy Petty which is meant as a compliment as I like how he can sound urgent and laid back all at the same time. Great job.

Hi Kenny,

Welcome to the forum.
A very nice first contribution. Indeed, your voice reminds us of Tom Petty, like Patrick said. Good vocals.

Hi Kenny.

THIS IS QUITE SIMPLY THE BEST THING I'VE HEARD FOR SUCH A LONG TIME.

The lyrics are brilliant. "When you put all your faith in an angry man". Just brilliant.

The backing is exactly right for the mood of the song and the vocal delivery is full of emotion. The mix is good and the whole package is extremely professional.

Welcome to the Showcase and please post some more like this.

Welcome to the forums Kenny.

This is a great song. Your voice is spot on and your lyrics are great.

" And you keep betting on a long shot to come in
Then wonder why it is you never can win" and " With all the dirt beneath your painted fingernails
You’ve long since given up on any fairy tales" are great lyrics.

I can see someone like John Prine singing this.

Ps - your backing tracks fit the song perfectly also.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
