As always, thanks for listening and I appreciate your comments, man that Brent Mason is bad-assed! https://soundcloud.com/kfl44/macon-lightsMacon Lights © 2015 K Leverett When I was a kid we played outside All evening long and into the night Going for broke doing it right Under the Macon city lights Where all my memories still live Under the Macon lights Later on dropped out of school Got a full time job felt I was doing fine Little apartment of my own Putting money aside, bidding my time 1978 Z28, she had beautiful lines Under the Macon lights Now there’s a feeling I get Knowing that some things will never be right Rolling into town with the windows down Into the Macon lights It’s where all my memories still live And I’d give all I’ve got to give To be in your arms tonight Under the Macon lights At 23 I crashed that car On a backwoods road, under the stars Took em three hours just to cut me out Even then I’m sure they had their doubts 1978 Z28, she had beautiful lines Still think of her from time to time Now there’s a feeling I get Knowing that some things will never be right Rolling into town with the windows down Into the Macon lights It’s where all my memories still live And I’d give all I’ve got to give To be in your arms tonight Under the Macon lights Bass 701 Pop Half Notes Piano 2503 Held Chords Drums Nashville EV 8 (my fav) Guitar 362 Acoustic Strum Guitar 838 Electric Pop Clean Guitar 2449 Pop Dreamy Brent Guitar 2200 Nylon Brent

Hi Kenny, I enjoyed the listen. It sounds like you've put quite a bit of time into the creation of the song and the mix. When the introduction first started, the thought that popped into my head was that I really liked the mood that your chosen chords and mix of RTs created. Nicely done! Regards, Noel

Great vocal performance and the backing track is very balanced. Thanks for sharing!

Spectacular.
A terrific write. Interesting throughout.

Your vocal is excellent - and nicely mixed.
I really like this.

I especially liked the vocals and the nylon string guitar work.
Thanks for the music,

Really sweet, pleasant song!! The melody just rolls along so nicely. Great arrangement, and heartfelt vocal. You have a gift for bringing truthfulness into the lyrics-even if the story isn't true, it FEELS true. Very nice stuff!! Take care. Greg

Nice one Kenny. To me, it has a very early (Philly/NAZZ era) Todd Rundgren vibe going on.
Regards,
Bob

Reckon that about covers it...other than

Great production and a nice addition to our

Hi Kenny,
A nice song with a relaxed groove and vocal.
The Dreamy Brent RT is so cool and suits many styles, we've used it several times. We think it's the best soloist RT so far.

Regards,
Bob I wouldn't have guessed in a million years that there was any Todd in this one but I have to say a friend played me the Something/Anything records many years ago and I was hooked instantly, became a big Rundgren fan and follower, discovered Nazz (or is it The Nazz) and he's in my subconsious I guess, definitely a big influence. Thanks for the comments.

Wow, I hadn't noticed your location before, that's why I like you guys so much, we're fellow Southerners. I was born in Manchester, GA. went to school in Hamilton. I don't know if I ever even passed thru Macon, but I thought it's so relateable, like Memphis or NorLeans in a song. Deep south, Allman Brothers, pecan trees, fried chicken, southern girls, all that good stuff. We moved to Texas when I was about 14 and now I'm in PA so the accent has taken on many influences but I'm a Georgian life long Braves fan forever! Thanks for the kind words. Kenny

Nice song. I think this is an excellent write, performance and arrangement.
I can imagine many artists covering this song. No every song can stand strong with different arrangements and interpretations but I think this song could. That's a hard thing to accomplish and an indication to me of a very well written song. Great job.
I enjoyed my listen.
