Music that has "meat" to it.
Welcome To My Page! I hope you like what you see and hear, um, here. As an artist, having the ability to upload my music and have others listen to it, and perhaps even give me pointers and encouragement, is so exciting!

Story behind the song
I don't think my pastor has any idea that he's come up with the verbal 'nuggets' for a lot of my songs. This one is no exception. He was talking about his trip to Vegas one Sunday and how most of the people there put their faith (and consequently money) on the chance to win it big. However, it's well known that the casino must make more money than it pays out or it will go out of business. So where do you put your money where you can get the best return? With God of course! It's all about where your quarter goes.
Lyrics
It's the story / of a boy of a man Who takes his own life into his hands He feels the world owes him what he can grab Take it and run just as fast as you can. He's got to sow what he planted in the ground And his "friends" up and turned it around They took it all and now he's living downtown In a box he dumpster dove and found He had no warning where life was going He couldn't steer it where he wanted to go No instructions to make deductions Maybe he should have left it with someone else Instead of rolling the bones... Big city / where the lights don't die Always on like the 4th of July Should you hold them? Or watch the wheel go Round and round and round and round and He let's it ride; all prayers aside It's not a game anymore, now he's hooked to the core (He don't care but) You've gotta know, it all about where Your quarter goes. You put it in and you let it go. You're gonna reap what you're gonna sow. (Ahhh....) The big city / with the towers so tall Babel ain't got nothing on us now. Making movies. It's just show biz But you put it where your heart is One day you're Vogue, but next you're cold And Hollywood just gets on with the show Don't read the papers. But maybe later You can Dance with the Stars on a one night show. (It's not fair but) You've gotta know, it all about where Your quarter goes. You put it in and you let it go. You're gonna reap what you're gonna sow. Tells you more than you want to know. Own a thousand homes but they can just burn down Blow them on yourself but you can't stick around Dig them in the ground but they will just turn brown it all about where Your quarter goes. You put it in and you let it go. You're gonna reap what you're gonna sow. Tells you more than you want to know. Give a prayer and you watch it grow. Give a penny to gain the gold. That's how the story goes.

Wish I could add more stars to the lyrics...What a work you've done here!. You have a great voice too!(and know how to use it). "Greeny"was right. This is an amazing song and you are an amazing songwriter-musician...everything. I congratulate God. Love and music, Zilia

Totally AWESOME Sandro!!! Really funky like Rodz said,this really is a great production,this reminds me of James Taylor in your vocal presentation,very strong written song I love it my friend. The rocking chorus gets a little dirty(distortion wise)in other words I think the distortion is a bit much for this song and I do think if it was just a little cleaner I would expect this on the radio.Dude this aint a little song this is a major winner hear Fantastic!!!!!!!!! An add for sure my friend!!!
