Lyrics
All it takes is being at the right place At the right time. Knowing that someone who will cut You a deal. Whenever a star is born Another will flicker. Lost in the final reel. You think all your years of experience means anything? You're sadly mistaken. When all the dust settles it's a cold reality, Out of the game. All it takes is being at the right place At the right time. Knowing that someone who will cut You a deal. Whenever a star is born Another will flicker. Lost in the final reel. As bright as the star is shining, One day it will all fade to gray. Your time will be a memory That's forgotten in the new play. All it takes is being at the right place At the right time. Knowing that someone who will cut You a deal. Whenever a star is born Another will flicker. Lost in the final reel – lost in the final reel. Copyright © 2019; Bob Forbes

Very nice song with an important message. It must be hard having everyone's attention and then suddenly be out in the cold. Very nice tune and your vocals are beautiful as always!

Nice use of synth and space in this smooth flowing melody. The vocals and lyrics are top notch and the guitars have a really sweet tone. Very fine new song to add to your great catalog of fine songs Bob!

Thought provoking stuff Bob. Sums life up really. It's all smoke and mirrors. That smoke is always going to escape your grasp :) I still think you are Alan Parsons masquerading as Bob Forbes - Cool track buddy.

A really thoughtful, upper echelon tribute. Such a treat to hear your killer vox and pro studio skills, it's been way too long, enjoyed this number very much, bravo my friend.

Fame does seem to be very fleeting...Andy Warhol coined the phrase "everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes" and this song sums that up perfectly. A great song about movie icons - here today, gone tomorrow...expertly delivered with your fantastic signature sound.

Plenty of melodic and harmonic twists in this treat. No mistaking that Bob sound right out of the gate. :)
