The Ghosts of El Dorado @ Donna J Evans 3/15/20

Verse 1

Many stories have been told
Of a place, covered in gold
Men lost their lives to behold
Say the ghosts of Eldorado

There’s a fever that strikes
When glitter shines in the night
Demons drive madness to fight
Warn the ghosts of Eldorado

Chorus
So, if you’re going for the gold
Go where fortunes can’t be stole
Safe in a vault that Jesus holds
In that sacred city of gold
Say the ghosts of Eldorado

Verse 2
Fools obsessed still search for it
Ambitions of the famous and rich
Earthly pleasures bait and switch
Caution the ghosts of Eldorado
The wise keep eyes on the prize
Heavenly treasures don’t disguise
Jewels you keep when you die
Cross that golden river to Eldorado

Chorus

Outro
Seek fortunes that can’t be stole
If you’re going for the gold
Safe in a vault that Jesus holds
Say the ghosts of Eldorado
Eldorado, Eldorado

Nice write, with some clever lines in there. An enjoyable listen.

You might want to change the spelling to the more common "El Dorado". Or not, it's your song. laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Nice message. I wasn't expecting the tie between El Dorado vs. Heaven.

Very clever!

Thanks for sharing.

Good sound and nice job with the lyrics! You can't ask for much more than that. smile

How did you come up with the album art? That's really cool as well!

Cool fade in. That's rare. Neat concept and good lyrics. Your vocals fit this style and mood. Good one.

I can almost hear Neil Young singing this.
Interesting story and calm, effective backing.
The voice jumps out louder on occasion so you might wcare to add a little compression to deal with that.
