Loved this Kenny. It is amazing how one can just sit down and in a short period of time a new song is born. Such a cool gift. Super vocal and backtrack.. Scott, Thanks so much for your listen and kind words Appreciate the comments on the vocals

Hi Kenny.
It's an absolute classic and I love the whole thing from beginning to end!
Quality has nothing to do with how much time was spent. I've spent weeks on things which were rubbish!
This song sounds like it could make money.
Cheers, Rog. Hey Rog, Thanks for the listen and kind words

Nice one Kenny, As an Australian I see the title and start singing the Ganggajang song in my head House of Cards but your track forced me to focus on a different melody and treatment. Cool cross over/roots/rock arrangement, fine melody and a good narrative. I do hope you re-track the vocals when you're better able. The song is worth the revisit. Ray, Thanks for the listen and kind words and the link to the Ganggajang song I will consider re-recording vocals if I ever get better.

"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."
Two or three a day? Seriously? I'd be supremely happy to do that once a month....really.
Sounds like something we would hear on our daily listenings to various Americana playlists.
As Tom said, "The connect the dots lyrics are just open ended enough to keep the listener engaged. " Yep. And that is a sweet spot to lay a lyric.
The aforementioned write, the vocals, the band and the mix...YEAH!
J&B
PS We did watch the series....dark dark dark.
Thanks for the listen guys
I appreciate your support and kindness.

Kenny,
Nice!
You sure do know how to write hook-y song!
Loved the vocals on this.
This is great:
There’s a train comin’ thru your heart
And you’re falling like a house of cards
David, I'm so glad that you stopped by for a listen You are such a creative writer, I really appreciate your listen and kind words.

Kenny,
I don't care how long it took you or how you got it down on paper...this is simply GOOD songwriting. Song craft. Some folks "got it" (some don't) - YOU "got it" in spades. (And it seems to gets better with each song!) And it is not just the words and how they are put together, but also the melodies and the perfect cadence of how those words fit and "fall on the ear"...
Love the BAND!. The vocal is killer. Mix is excellent.
"There’s a train comin’ thru your heart
And you’re falling like a house of cards"
...not your run-of-the-mill lyric.
Excellent.
I agree with all of that!! Especially the YOU GOT IT part!! Love it!!! I love your head cold/chest cold voice! Take care. Greg
fj Thanks Greg, appreciate your kind words When will we hear your next one?

Cool tune.
That's a good way to write. Pick a topic or a line and write something to it.
I used to be with TAXI and they have listings coming in constantly. They are often very short notice turn arounds.... a few days at most. The challenge is to write on the topic, in the style, and get a polished radio ready recording finished in the allotted time of 2 to 3 days. It forces you to write, and it forces you to not overthink your work. You can't set and ponder for 3 days on one line or a few words.
I like the rawness of the song and the recording. Kinda like a Bruce Springsteen vibe going on in there. Yep.... good work there. Herb, Thanks so much for the listen and comments I appreciate your kind words.

Really nice song!
I entirely agree with Will.
You are an EXCELLENT song writer. This song just rocks! And your vocal shines...
Your commentary on how to make this song is very interesting and helpful for a "quick write" as well.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
