Another Lonely Night in the City

A kaleidoscope fever dream contemplating the nature of a big city at night...

An older song rearranged and remixed to reflect things I've learned on this forum. For the curious, included a couple of screenshots at the bottom showing the setup for Rear Bus mixing, gain staging of the held guitar, and a few other subtleties. Happy to add details on any questions.

THANKS in advance for any listens and/or input!

Lyrics: R.W. Davis

Standing in the light
Of an incandescent street lamp
I plugged my mind into
The outlet of 100 million screaming amps

I faltered for a moment
As a drunkard passed by and said simply “hi”
I coughed into my palm
Wiped the sweat from my forehead and sat down to cry

The policeman hustled me on
He said the time was gone
And life had passed me by
I fetched him the drunkard
And told him that I heard
That I was gonna die

Another lonely night in the city
Another lonely night to be so pretty
I found the spirit of adversity
Chasing me into a crowd of pity
The rain was falling
And I was calling for a cab
The cars were scurrying like crabs
And they looked like germs
Underneath the microscope
They were writhing like worms
And dangling like a corpse on a rope

Standing in the shade
Of an oversized hotel
I just had to laugh
At the doorman in his fancy coat tails

He held open a car door
As he held open a big black umbrella
And a group of kids
On the corner sang a song acapella

(interlude)

I listened to their voices
And the huge Rolls Royces
Splattered water on those guys
As they drove by too fast
And didn’t have the class
To stop and apologize

Another lonely night in the city
Another lonely night to sing so pretty
I found the spirit of the dead city
Alive with the thoughts of being witty
Jokin’ ‘bout immorality and perversion
Black market surgeons
Everyone’s learnin’
How to stay alive
Work from nine to five
And never care enough to help anyone survive
Just ignore the nitty gritty
Decide your fate by committee
It’s just another lonely night in the city

A Whirlwind Of A Song!
Going to places I could not have predicted.

Y'all packed a novel into that 3 minutes.
I had go listen again. Then again.

A fun, wild ride.

I dunno what your first song sounded like, but this was very entertaining and so reminiscent of the 80's, Elvis Costello-ish. Totally agree with Floyd's comment: Going to places I could not have predicted. You managed to capture the hustle and bustle and surprise of city life in both music and lyric.

Nice voice too!

Ron, what a fantastic smorgasbord of musicality!
Dylan type lyrics set to a rocking groove with a little A cappella thrown in for a drastic change - brilliant!
Your vocal and lyrics made this song.
All mixed to perfection.
IMHO your best to date.

Thanks, Floyd! With lyrics this ambitious, it can be a little intimidating to approach the music. So I just let it rip and hoped for the best. Glad it worked for you!

Why thanks, Bob. You write such coolly evocative city songs that I take that as a high complement indeed. Huh.

Yeah, I would have been rocking some EC in the early 80's for sure. Late 70s, too. The vocalist is Dusty (per the OP credits) but I totally agree! THANKS!!

Doh! Don't compare the lyricist to Dylan, it'll go to his head. AGAIN. Ha! Actually, I think he always wanted to be Bernie Taupin. Too bad I'm no Sir Elton. Ha ha! I am a tiny bit pleased with how the a capella part turned out. One of those big swings that somehow connected. Glad you enjoyed the tune!

Thanks, Brain! One of the challenges with burying an Easter Egg like the a capella section is keeping the attention of the listener until they can get to it. Then hoping that little change of pace will sharpen their interest in the rest of the tune. Change of pace bridges are my favorite part of songwriting. Glad you enjoyed it and the tune!

Dan, thanks! The lyricist really has a talent for story songs. Suspect a lot of the imagery in these lyrics was taken from life, but combined in a new and interesting way. That's always fun for me. Dusty is always rock solid. Sometimes I think "Well, I'll just post the version with my scratch vocals this time..." but then I listen to Dusty's and decide that his version is by far the better listening experience. LOVE his voice. Glad you enjoyed the song!

Great lyrics, I especially liked :
"The cars were scurrying like crabs
And they looked like germs
Underneath the microscope
They were writhing like worms
And dangling like a corpse on a rope"

Upbeat music for the rather sad narrative which surprisingly works quite well. I am curious about D.A. Hughes. Is he real?
I enjoyed the song and quality production. Also thanks for the informative screen shots.
cheers Ron.

Quite the ride!

Very cool write, and Dylan always sounds great. Loved the acapella part!

Mix sounds great also, well done!

P.S. I meant Dusty, not Dylan wink

Izzy, the verse you quote is my favorite, too. Was worried that four car similes in a single verse might be a bit much, but the lyric pulls it off. First version of the music I put to these lyrics was a slow, minor key dirge. It was kind of cool but missed the "fever dream" interpretation I had in mind. So ended up with this major key rocker, and it seems better suited to the narrative. Yes, Dusty is real. Only the band (in a box) is fake. Ha! Glad you enjoyed the tune!

Dave, THANKS, glad you enjoyed the tune. One day I'm going to do a song a capella start to finish. But then it won't really be suitable for a User Showcase, will it??

Vic, THANK YOU for the listen and feedback. Turning somebody else's lyrics into a song is an interesting exercise, and one I enjoy. Always rewarding to get positive feedback.

Hi, Ron.

Ha! Love it - especially the rhymes, the unexpected rhythms, and the "a capella" bit. Excellent pop sound and vocals as well.

As floyd jane said, a wild ride. smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

If I could use just one word to describe this:

Entertaining


Cool rocking song.

Hey, David! Never really know when going out on a limb whether it will support the weight. Glad we didn't crash!

Herb, "entertaining" is the objective, so...SCORE! THANKS for the listen and feedback.

WOW! Big sonds from the big city. I really like the lyrics. The melody is the hook, and I am hooked. I like the nod to Belmont Avenue with the a capella bit. Man, you, R. W. and D. A. are an outstanding trio.


Enjoy whatever happens!
