I was thinking about this February songwriting thing, fawm. I have no desire to do this but thought I’d try a quick write. So I decided that the first intriguing phrase that I came across reading a news piece I’d make my song title. There was something on House Of Cards, the Netflix series. I’ve never seen one minute of this show but I thought it sounds like one of my songs already. So, house of cards, it needs an action verb, falling like a house of cards because we know it’s a fragile setup. So the hook needs three chords and will be the pay off line in a four line verse. I wrote down a few rhymes with cards, the most interesting to me, guard, yard, and heart. Two of the four lines in the three sections are mostly already written, I just need to fill in the descriptions. The setting - the same old dirty town, it’s the first thing that comes to mind, off and running. I’m writing about a drama that I’ve never seen, it’s wide open. The pop singer in my head comes up with the bridge And if da DA da then da da da da da da wtf da DA da then da da da da da da (make that last line longer) I could write maybe two or three of these a day, is it good? I don’t think it’s as good as letting an idea or song live in your head for a few days, giving you time to be your own critic or come up with a better version. Nothing against the FAWM writers, if it sharpens your tools, then good. It was fun, writing a new one always is. Thanks for listening, comments are welcome even if you disagree with everything I’ve said here. It’s OK Nobody’s right or wrong about songwriting. (write backwards)

House Of Cards © 2019 Kenny Leverett
Same old dirty town Where everybody loves to drag you down Holding to the same old guard And falling like a house of cards
No one looks you in the eyes Once you know their petty lies You’re a chained dog in the yard And they’re falling like a house of cards
And if you’re standing still You’ll only get left behind Where’s it written in stone That we can never change We can never change our minds
Listening to the same old song Even when you know it’s wrong Train comin’ thru your heart And you’re falling like a house of cards
And if you’re standing still You’ll only get left behind Where’s it written in stone That we can never change We can never change our minds
There’s a train comin’ thru your heart And you’re falling like a house of cards

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.
