This is one of the most POWERFUL ballads I have heard on Broadjam in a long time. From the first verse, this excellent storyteller draws the listener in with the story of a young girl chasing her dream in Los Angeles. Love the "welcome to LA" introduction. The story is heartbreakingly familiar and true of many who chase their dreams in that town. "show some skin". Winding up dancing in a bar. The phone call that never came. WOW. Excellent lyrics. I really felt sorry for the girl. The song hit me in the gut. Bridge is creatively written, placed and sung. Instrumental augments the story perfectly. Really pulls in the blues of it all. Vocal is clear, understandable, believable, passionate. This song should go far, really far, and I hope that it will serve as a warning to many of the dangers of chasing stardom far from home.
This has an Eagles sound and you don't get any cooler than that!! Terrific story, Great production on this tune! Top notch pick of instrumentation....there's nothing more to add!! Wish I'd written this composition!! In the meantime, I'll get over it!!
I really enjoyed this tune. It reminds me of Noel Gallagher especially the songs he sang while Oasis was still together. The lyrics to me are excellent "...have to show some skin, before we let you in." is especially great.
