The City Will Believe You Tonight

Liner Notes

#pop #rock I made this track and wasn't really vibing with her, so she said "Get someone to help you dummy!" Oh! Ok! Thus I asked Beth and she generously agreed to write some lyrics and sing them for me. What she came up with was perfect for the track and miles better than anything I would have ever come up with, which I view as the best of news. She unwisely permitted me to post without hearing it first so I made some unusual choices, but I think it works. The voice is more than just singing, it's also an instrument now, which the track kind of needed. Music by Toomey : Lyrics & vox by Kille

Lyrics

If you walk like you know where you’re going No one will question As you breeze on by They’ll all be asking, “Hey, how do I know her? Some kinda CEO? Leading lady in that new hit show?" I tell you she’s clearly powerhouse They will never know

Prechorus Threads from the discount rack Rockin’ those HOT fake leather pants Clip-ons earrings catch the light They only see you wearing diamonds Aviators from the five and dime Hide the mischief in your eyes That perfume from a magazine fold But you’re lovin’ life and living bold

Chorus You can be anyone You can go anywhere You can do anything The city will believe you tonight (repeat)

Verse 2 If you walk like you know where you’re going They’ll all be watching you As you breeze on by Steam risin’ off the street Struttin’ in time to the city beat You got that je ne sais quoi Maybe you’re above the law Got the moves, got the style Catch that million dollar smile

Repeat chorus

Fake it til you make it! Great collab -- the swagger of the music matches the bravado of the lyric. Great lines: Threads from the discount rack / Rockin’ those HOT fake leather pants," I can imagine tightening up a few spots and really leaning into that flow.

Thanks! We were both pretty ill the last week or so and this I'm extra glad we got it together in time

Really cool track and collab! Beth pens some killer lyrics. I really like the rhythmic flow of the lyric going on here, and that groove just screams city. Very cool!

It's impossible to use any sound like that and not have it scream U2. My voice doesn't help that problem at all. 🤣 Beth solved both those challenges well.
