Haven't been very active lately, for various reasons. (We've been busy on the 90 dB 2015 Dive Bar World Tour, and preparing for the 90 dB 2016 Hospice World Tour) Hearing a lot of great stuff in the User Showcase. Thought I'd contribute a little song. I used RT's almost everything, but I've lost the original .sgu file, so I don't know which ones.  I love this program! Regards, Bob https://90dbband.bandcamp.com/track/cold-cold-worldCold Cold World ©2015 Robert Randall Burke/BMI City of Angels She's livin' in her car But this time next year She's gonna be a star. She's been waitin' tables In some old Venice bar She starts to think She'll never get that far. The old man in the corner Has been where she is now He'd like to give her comfort But he just don't know how. Oh, girl It's a cold cold world Yeah yeah yeah It's a cold cold world You put your best foot forward Keep your nose to the stone Give it everything you got But the harder you try The harder you fall And baby, you'll fall a lot Oh, girl It's a cold cold cold world. All along the Boulevard The street of broken dreams Where nothing is as golden as it seems A thousand nameless people Do a thousand closing scenes That'll never play On a thousand silver screens. The old man on the corner Has been where she is now He'd like to give her comfort But he just don't know how...so he says.... Oh, girl... It's a cold cold world Yeah yeah yeah It's a cold cold world You put your best foot forward Keep your nose to the stone Give it everything you got But the harder you try The harder you fall And baby, you'll fall a lot Oh, girl It's a cold cold cold................ world.

"A thousand nameless people Do a thousand closing scenes That'll never play On a thousand silver screens."
Love that, Robert.
The whole lyric, actually... solid start to finish.
The build of instruments is terrific. Rocking! by the end... and super catchy. (I did want that ending guitar solo louder!!)..
A little Bruce, a little Billy, a bunch o' Bob...
I'm thinkin' I75 may have found their opening act...
Great listen. And it gets better with each one... Real LOUD.

Bob, As floyd says Great listen. And it gets better with each one... Real LOUD. So I played it loud with my back door open and got the cockerel and geese in the house behind me squawking, so the birds love it! (bird is British slang for women!) great song and again as floyd I wanted the solo LOUDER Anyway back for another listen Alyn

I always look forward to your posts and enjoy your songs. You were the first artist who caught my attention when I first started listening here on the forum. You're still one of my favorites. Good write, performance and production.

There's no mistaking your signature sound. Reverb dialed in!
I echo the things Floyd had to say. I too wanted the music up a bit, closer to the vocals and drums. Are those RDs? They're righteous.
Southern CA throughout. Solid write and a good story.

I love new and creative takes on old themes. I admire a writer who can take a theme like this and breathe a ton of new life into it. That is one clever, inventive and engaging lyric.
That'd be enough for me to like the song but then comes the vocal, the arrangement and the production that is outstanding.
I don't want to define Americana but IMO this sits in the midddle of that spectrum.
Classy!
