"Levon" by Elton John - The Verbas

This is our fifth video, with Jessica as the lead singer and pianist, Katie doing harmony and bass, and Ben playing the drums. Levon is by Elton John. Enjoy!

Levon wears his war wound like a crown
He calls his child Jesus
Because he likes the name
And he sends him to the finest school in town

Levon, Levon likes his money
He makes a lot they say
Spends his days counting
In a garage by the motorway

He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
When the New York Times said God is dead
And the war's begun
Alvin Tostig has a son today

And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon

Levon sells cartoon balloons in town
His family business thrives
Jesus blows up balloons all day
Sits on the porch swing watching them fly

And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus
Leaving Levon far behind
Take a balloon and go sailing
While Levon, Levon slowly dies

He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
When the New York Times said God is dead
And the war's begun
Alvin Tostig has a son today

And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon

Very impressed, mainly because of the age of the performers and your skill level at that age. The vocals were great, awesome bass player (Im a bass player also) and the drums were very well timed. You earned a like.

Keep practicing. The day comes when everything just clicks. Its a great feeling. i practiced & practiced & thought I sounded bad. The struggle finally paid off one day, when everything just fell into place. After that it wasnt work anymore, it was fun.

Its really magical & non-musicians will never know the feeling.

Its a proven fact that musicians have higher IQs than non-musicians .

KEEP PRACTICING, the day will come when you sound like the recording.

Its a life long love.

Thanks again!! :D
