about

In these dark times, music keeps our sense of wonder alive-it shines a light.
The Fortune Teller (Pretty in the City) is about finding magic and beauty in a heartbroken world.

As a kid, I remember going to the Crystal Beach amusement park and hearing a vintage radio show blasting through the old speakers.
When recording this track I wanted to conjure up the atmosphere of a carnival by the sea, a sound from a place almost lost in time and memory.

It was with this ethos I created a retro yet futuristic sound, combining 60's inspired drums, 70's guitars, and 80's synthesizers.

"The Fortune Teller ( Pretty in the City)" came to me via a strange, mysterious dream. Half asleep, I picked up my trusty old guitar and the song appeared to me in a flash!

I think of dreams as the jukebox of my imagination: songs and fables glowing in the dark, waiting to be discovered and played.

I hope you are able to reflect on the themes of serendipity, fate and mystical predictions in your own experience as you listen.
Bill Majoros (The Foreign Films)

lyrics

Lyrics:

The Fortune Teller (Pretty in the City)

The Fortune Teller said that "the stars will align"
I said 'Darling won't you give me a sign"
Long last looks and astrology books
Yeah she poured me a glass of wine

It's in the stars my friend, no we can't pretend
If I could I'd do it all again...with you

She's going to California with the sun in her eyes
and the moon glow in her heart
The Fortune Teller said that "she's painted from dreams"
And her beauty was a work of art

It's in the stars my friend, no we can't pretend
If I could I'd do it all again with you

Far above this desolate city
Oh my dear, you look so pretty tonight
Tonight, tonight
Pretty in the City tonight

The Fortune Teller said that "the stars will align"
I said "Darling won't you give me a sign"
Long last looks and astrology books
Yeah she poured me a glass of wine

It's in the stars my friend, no we can't pretend
If I could I'd do it all again with you

Far above this desolate city
Oh my Dear you look so pretty tonight,
Tonight...
Pretty in the City, Pretty in the City Tonight
