Description:
This is a pretty cool song that rings a little like The Talking Heads. The chorus is rather catchy and the solo is a cool break. One of my favorites so far.

Lyrics:
Hollywoodn’t

Lyrics: Chris Winters. Music: Rich Huston, Chris Winters. Recorded May 6, 2007

I know I’m grinning
From ear to ear
Once this deal goes down it’s the end of my fear
Producer’s calling
Can’t stop the phone
13 years in this dumb town I can finally call my home
I started slowly
Now I’m rising fast
Gonna step into the light gonna make this feeling last

It’s just a dream but
That’s what life is for
I came to the fountain
I wanted something more
So many others are just
Ghosts among the hills
I’d die if Hollywood
Wouldn’t let me drink my fill

Running out of patience
Money’s getting thin
I know I gotta stick it out, ‘cause this is how I win
At the Farmer’s Market
The writers turn away
My agent hasn’t called me back in 17 days
I hear the rumors
The deal fell through
The director’s sleeping with my girlfriend too
The sky is falling
It’s crashing down
Why did I ever think I could make it in this town?

Dont call us &mdash 05/15/07 - 01:02:05 AM
This has a really cool groove Rich, and lovely bass and guitar. The mix on this is really nice - the vocal and guitar sound great. I get Talking Heads; some of the guitar sounds a little like the Strokes/Pixies, but really, this just sounds like Ghost Hoodie! Really nice vocals from Chris here - his voice sounds wonderful.

Jeez, you keep clockin' up the songs, dontcha??

I worked on your song a bit this weekend. I think I'm going to try and scrap the drums and put some live drums if everything this weekend works out (have a drummer coming over). Anyway, it's next on my list.

hey ... &mdash 05/15/07 - 01:31:08 AM
.. don't worry Rich, you've obviously got a lot on, at the rate your postin' stuff. I had an operation on my sinuses, so I have two songs currently waiting vocals ... one is a collab with Willywaggy that's a Velvets homage, and the other sounds like Danny Boy meets a-ha!

LOL

I love that band. Scoundrel Days is one of my all time favorites

Nice new one &mdash 05/15/07 - 04:42:31 AM
Good to hear another Peng song. I guess you and Rich make a nice team. Bowie-like vocals, but you probably get that all the time.
Have to say lyrics are important and you write really good ones, bro.
Excellent

Peng is Rich, btw. I'm Chris, the voices and guitar. I usually just lurk here and let Rich do the posting...
