https://soundcloud.com/kfl44/vegas-till-the-moneys-goneVegas Till The Moneys Gone © 2014 K Leverett Running with the boys Who just wanna change their lives From the trailer thrash trap We’ve been living in Longing for the dreams That are always out of reach Wishing for what the other half have Can’t be a sin Made a plan to pull a hold up Made it fast as any hit and run Didn’t think anything could go wrong And it would all be one and done We’ll go to Vegas and live like Kings Till the money’s gone We’ll stay drunk enough to forget What’s right or wrong But we robbed a bank in Canton Shot a man who blocked our path And I’m sure the cameras caught us And we won’t escape the wrath All we wanted was a chance Like anybody would Take a badly dealt hand Turn it into something good Staring into the abyss Waiting to be found Feel the darkness closing in Surely going down We’ll go to Vegas and live like Kings Till the money’s gone We’ll stay drunk enough to forget What’s right or wrong But we robbed a bank in Canton Shot a man who blocked our path And I’m sure the cameras caught us And we won’t escape the wrath

Too much good stuff to hit all of it!! This is spectacular. I'm a huge fan of this theme in movies (A simple plan, Fargo, Carlito's way, etc., etc,). You've captured it so well in song form. Love the sparse arrangement with the strings, and the vocal delivery is perfect, as is the tremolo electric. Beautifully done Kenny!! Take care. Greg

"From the trailer thrash trap"
Now there's an alliteration that works!
One line out of many, many strong ones.
This tune should be rolling with the credits
on an episode from one of the good cable
series.
Everything worked for us!

Great! The lyrics are fantastic and the delivery is just right.
Agree would make a rock anthem for a movie. Can almost see the movie. Desperado's head for Vegas. Never make it . Die in the desert. Cheers.

Greg Thank you so much Greg, it's mutual, I really enjoy your songs as well, man I love Fargo, the movie and the first season series. I recorded this last year as a medium rocker and thought it could be better as a reflective type ballad. People have told me that they hear Springsteen or Mellencamp, but I'm probably just as influenced by Mark Knopfler. The Shrangri-La album was a particular favorite. Thanks

J&B "trailer trash trap" sounds offensive doesn't it, but makes for fun alliteration! I'd be in hog-heaven if this were to be played during the credits of anything, thanks to both of you, look forward to your next posting. Kenny

Kenny,
I had to listen to this for 2 reasons as my son is in Vegas at the moment and I also like your songs.
The arrangement and mix is wonderful and I see Mark Knopfler's influence but this is all you...excellent
A big +1 to all the other posters comments
enjoyed this a lot

I like the piano and the rest of the band. Your vocals keep the mood of the song.

Hi Kenny, You had me as soon as I read the title! I immediately thought "what a great topic for a song" Everybody wants to find a universal theme that people identify with on at least some level, and this song's lyrics are a virtual collection of such themes... How many literary or movie plots are based on the desire to come up with a plan to change one's own destiny, to rise up from a difficult situation... ? or even apart from all that... I think everybody has fantasized about going to vegas and partying until the money is gone! But most of us never do, so a song that lets us do it vicariously through your tragic character satisfies some part of that yearning in us. I like your stylized vocals... they are quite distinctive, and that's a good thing. Total agreement with all the other observations, particularly Greg's. He has a way of making the same observations I would make, but he always beats me and says them first!  I haven't been very active on the forum lately, so this may be the first of your songs that I've heard... but now I look forward to hearing more!

Kenny, I am quickly becoming a big fan of your work. Really cool write with an effective delivery. I thought the tremolo solo could have been louder. You make little movie songs. So glad you showed up! Tom

Kenny,
I love the way you put instruments together for just the perfect sound. The piano and acoustic...the addition of strings..and the tremolo guitar - each coming at the perfect time to make you sit up and take notice...
I love the way you write.
"All we wanted was a chance
Like anybody would"
Such a perfect line.
Love the way you sing. Pure heart...
This is wonderful.

Kenny,
Very modern emotional approach with both the lyrics and the vocal treatment coupled with an arrangement I wasn't expecting that really gives the song it's own unique identity. One of your best.
