THIS IS AN OUTDATED VERSION, but still feel free to listen if you want :)
The second song off my ADVENT EP. The sound I was going for was a Rock n Roll type bop with some pop rock thrown into the mix. The chorus riff was actually the very first riff I've ever written on guitar and the title 'Face Like A Movie Star' was a name I've been sitting on for years but just didn't know what to do with it, until now.

ADVENT is my first EP, straight out of my bedroom and into the digital airwaves. This is my first time sound engineering/mixing instrumentals and vocals. Could've turned out worse if I do say so myself.

LYRICS
Chorus
Shades and the suede
Stepped right out of Broadway
Wearing a face like a movie star.
Stilettos, tuxedos
Touches nothing that’s faux
Blessed with success of a movie star.
Oh yeah

Verse 1
Ohhhhh, the job is plain
Just entertain
The crazies, the psychos, and the most deranged.

Self-esteem
Is the only means
Of harboring countless vanities.

Oh heyyyyyy! That face your wearing.
It shouldn’t come off so goddamn easily
All your faaaaaans! Don’t keep 'em waiting.
You have the entire masses on their knees.

Bridge 1
Up there Norma, can you see?
Your effervescent legacy.

Chorus
Shades and the suede
Stepped right out of Broadway
Wearing a face like a movie star.
Stilettos, tuxedos
Touches nothing that’s faux
Blessed with success of a movie star.

Verse 2
Preserve panache
When the cameras flash.
They’ll stick to you just to see the crash.
Empty words,
A blessing and curse.
What good is talk when you’ve got allure?
No waaaaaaaay that face you’re wearing,
Was with you ever since the starting line.
Look baaaaaack, look back and relish
Look at what you’re gonna leave behind.

Bridge
Don and Phillip we’ll take gladly
Pastel-enamored legacies.

Post-solo bridge
Legacy still thrivin’.
King of Rock's still inspiring.

Chorus
Shades and the suede
Stepped right out of Broadway
Wearing a face like a movie star.
Stilettos, tuxedos
Touches nothing that’s faux
Blessed with success of a movie star.
