Snow White In Vegas

Merry "whatever you celebrate" and Happy New Year to everyone who has helped out and participated in the "Lost Vegas Art Project" since it started in May !!!

2008 has been the best of times and the worst of times for sure. Last week I received an email from Chris James in Las Vegas (who also wrote the song "Las Vegas -I'm Going Back" ) with a new song he had written that he thought may work well for the project. I loved it and thought that with Las Vegas getting it's biggest snow storm in history a couple of weeks ago it made sense also.
Thanks again Chris...Chris?.....Christmas !!!

Who knows what 2009 has in store for us all? I believe that great changes are on their way.

Here are the lyrics to "Snow White in Vegas" @ Chris James

Snow white so up tight
Seems your prince is gone.
Left you all alone.
Took your from your home.
Stripped down, kicked around
And made you cry...

So while the nights still young
Come girl lets have some fun
Summer days in the sun
Looking out for number one.
I know a place... ya
We both can find.

Mmm Hmm...Tell me
Have you ever seen the sunrise over Vegas?

Well the way the stars shine so bright,
On a Maryland Moon lit night.
Oh ya...
Princes should never live at all
Till his towers fall tonight.

Money don’t mean a thing.
Neither do diamond rings.
Just strip it down tonight.
You can’t buy your happiness
And you never will be blessed
Till you break those chains tonight.

Have you ever seen the sunrise over Vegas?
Oh the way the stars shine so bright.
On a Maryland Moon lit night.
Oh oh...
Princes should never live at all
Till his towers fall tonight.

And when the Prince fades away.
You gotta live with the choice you made.
And find a better day !

Money don’t mean a thing
Neither do diamond rings
Just strip it down tonight
We all wear our mask
Pursuit-O-Happiness
Is gonna drive you home tonight.

My Princess never lived at all.

SIN CITY

"Sin City" the song playing under the Lost Vegas images this week is by a German punk rock band called "The Radioactives", and the "Lost Vegas Art Project" has now gone International.
I get a real kick out of trying to find the appropriate "quotes" to match the sense of the song that the viewer is hearing well as matching the sense of the images? After I had chosen the quotes that I wanted to use for this song I googled to try and find the lyrics to the song. Here they are:

Sin City:

"A run down man once showed me this place
That l’ll now show to you.
You gotta have some action, you gotta feel the power.
And never regret the fun!
You ought to booze, right now you ought to f***.
Just play with the chicks.
The cuties don’t know who I am.
Satanic Blood runs down my veins.

Chorus:
Committing sins won’t be in vain. I’ll surely get what I deserve.
But before I’ll die, I’ll share everything. I’m alive! – In Sin City.

As long as I’m here, I can feel the pulse pounding.
I can feel the heat of the night.
The heroes have died mistaken, anyway.
And the bad ones have won.
The city is awake, no doubt, it’s so moving.
The good guys to the bad.
Can you blame me? Am I guilty?
Listen! “Life was built on a sin!”
by The Radiactives

Great song ! Unnerving really?

Now look and listen to it again...
