Wow. Susan Levine’s vocals are just perfect on this song about how life, and family life in particular, can be so imperfect. With Doug Kwartler backing her up beautifully a song unfolds that’s full of weary acceptance of the way life goes. Marriages fall apart, second wives aren’t great stepmoms, and all the time the train’s roll by a small town that only knows small town concerns. It’s a beauty – and The Lied To’s have a whole album of such songs – ‘The Lesser of Two Evils‘ – that’s recently been released.
Thanks Jonathan for your post and review of The Lied To’s tune “Millionaire”! You really got it and we appreciate the attention to detail and care you put into your writing. – Doug and Susan (The Lied To’s)
