Silver star by Hardlock rat a tat and Kenny mac

[kenny mac]

This song started like with Tods excellent drum track ,then Harlock added some instrumentation.
With an excellent piece of organ I may say.
Had a bit of time tonight so jumped into the studio and added some acoustic guitars to it and some horns at the end with a lead guitar.
I changed the song about and used certain parts for a chorus etc.
It tells the story of 3 outlaws  the Kings riding into town and meeting the town sherrif.

3 Kings and a star 
Hope you like it.

3 brothers named King
Headed down to the town

Tied up their horses
And ordered a round

Of drinks in the saloon
And all raised a glass
To the guy with the silver star.

The sheriff replied I know who you are.
Pointed to the poster nailed up by the bar
The oldest he smiled and stroked on his scar
I believe your mistaking he laughed

Chorus
Your fate is in front of your eyes
The end of your terror and lies
Your mind running wild and it crystal
This is the end of the line

Let's all take a walk
Take this business out side
He said sheriff no problem
We've nothing to hide
They walked out the door
Side by side

Chorus
Your fate is in front of your eyes
The end of your terror and lies
Your mind running wild and it crystal
This is the end of the line


They went for their guns
 like a lightning bolt
the sheriff fired rapid.
They all gave a jolt
Dropped one by one
By the light of the sun
And the glittering  silver star

sounds really great men.... 3 great musical minds each doing really great stuff.

really clever idea with this Kenny..

I agree also the organ is super...

interesting topical lyrics and wonderfully delightful vocals!

[Zoltan]

Wowser! The three riders of the Storm! What's crazy is that the song has all the trademark sounds of all of these very fine gentlemen.

Fine storytelling and songwriting! Musical delight and slightly weird too.

Very original idea and tying this in with Christmas is very cool. It has that old classic work feel in part due to that great organ sound. Damn, that lead is brill too. Great stuff guys.
