CITY OF ANGELS (Steve Dafoe (Copyrighted 2020)

Chorus:

I'M JUST A DRIFTER PASSING THROUGH IN THE CITY OF ANGELS

CITY OF ANGELS

A LIFE IN PERIL; ALWAYS A MESS IN THE CITY OF ANGELS

CITY OF ANGELS

I HOLD MY BIBLE, AS I CLOSE MY EYES IN THE CITY OF ANGELS
CM7 (up on strum)
CITY OF ANGELS

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSE 1:

I GOTTA THINK THAT TONITE, JUST ONE NIGHT
THAT I'LL BE ALRIGHT
THAT WHEN SHE WHISPERS MY NAME
THAT THERE'LL BE NO SHAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSE 2:

THE PAIN WITHIN ME IS REAL
FOR ALL MY LIFE, IT'S ALL I FEEL
I TOLD HER ONE DAY I'LL BE FREE
TOLD HER TO WAIT AND SEE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSE 3:

I INJECT THE NEEDLE, I CAN'T STAND
NO ONE REACH'S OUT A HELPING HAND
AND I THOUGHT TONITE, I JUST MIGHT
BE ALLRIGHT

Beautiful vocals, front & backing. This is well sung with the vocals out front where they should be.

Being from the LA area, it was great to hear a song about the city of Angels...even though the person in the song isn't having such a great experience there. You wouldn't know if from the mood he presents in his very fresh, crystal clear, happy sounding vocals. He is actually having a pretty rough time as a drifter, and ends up injecting a needle to forget the pain. (Maybe he should have read that Bible he was carrying!) High marks for originality. Beautiful instrumentation. The mix and production are PERFECT for this song.
