The Story:
While I was in San Francisco
a couple of years ago for a corporate gig, this song (originally "Vlogged" about on previous post) starting revealing itself in my quaint, little room at the very-interesting Phoenix Hotel, which is described as:"Famous for A-list rocker guests and an artsy, cool vibe, this one-of-a-kind, converted 44-room motel may have seedy Tenderloin District surroundings and bare-bones rooms, but the unique, SoCal-style courtyard pool and happening Bambuddha Lounge keep the hip crowd happy." oyster.com
The Photo (of said "staircase" in lyric):
I have slightly mixed feelings about this tune, being that my goal has been writing songs and tracks capable of being covered by other artists or for TV/Film placements. Since it's about a specific place, the chances of it's universal applications go WAY down. Guess I'll chock it up as an "artist song" (me!) and move one. Nice to put something new out there.
I may get enough of these together and do an album (mixed and mastered by someone other than myself!).
PS. Interesting. It's the second song in my catalog that happens to have San Francisco as it's setting AND "Tony Bennet" in the lyric. The other being, "Let's Take The Stairs". What's up with that?......Ah, heck!....you can have that one as a freebie, too! (Banner to the right>>)
