"King Of Nothing"
Power is that drug
An aphrodisiac
Some inject it in their blood
To never give it back
Dreaming of that day
Of showing the world who’s boss
Taking his rightful place
No matter what the cost
No he doesn’t give a damn
Ooh he’s making big plans
Ooh a castle made of sand
He is the king
The king of nothing
The best in the world
At showing greed
He’s got to win
No matter what the means
The top of the world
All alone
Number one
At being empty
Who does he think he is?
Like he’s the chosen one
Making an iron fist
While wearing a velvet glove
Finally he’s on top
Holding all the cards
But everything he thinks he’s got
Can’t fill an empty heart
No, he doesn’t give a damn
Ooh he’s making big plans
Ooh a throne built on quicksand
He is the king
The king of nothing
The best in the world
At showing greed
He’s got to win
No matter what the means
The top of the world
All alone
Number one
At being empty
He is the king
The king of nothing
The best in the world
At showing greed
He’s got to win
No matter what the means
The top of the world
All alone
Number one
At being empty
He’s me
When I lose humility
Maybe he’s me when I forget what it all means

Worth the wait! This is magical! Kudos to your wife on your makeup!

Brilliant Billy
Thank you :)
What a journey this song takes you on... Brilliant again Mr. BA!!
Thank you very much :)
A little Xanadu and Circumstances inspiration here! I like it!
cool man :)
Excellent!!
Thanks :)
Great Progressive Rock Video Bill !
Thanks :)
Way to go brother...absolutely awesome work!
thanks :)
If RUSH was recording today - this is their song! Bravo
:)
Crazy good song! Love it! Great transitions, great vocal ending!
Thanks :)
Great Job Billy. Just when you think Rock was on it's way out you stepped in and redeemed it. Nice vocal ending.
Thank you :)
🔥🔥🔥 Killer song and video! Nicely done! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks man :)
Good job Billy
@@1164zappa thanks :)
4.13 onwards 🤘🏽
Killer music as always Billy ✌️🤘🏽 love from India ❤- Sameet
🔊⚡🔊 ✌️♥️😎
Great song! Love the Friday the 13th kinda vibe there :)
:)
That was pretty amazing amazing Billy! I felt like I was on a rock n roll rollercoaster and I just wanted to keep on listening more. The video concept was also pretty cool!🎢
:)
Smoking !!!!!!!!!
:)
Masterpiece!
:)
Killer tune, Bravo Gents!
:)
Sweet! Love it! Harmonies are gorgeous.
Thank you :)
Kind of reminds me of Alex Lifeson solo album Victor
Never heard that but thank you!
Yeah , now we talking !!!!
:)
And it all crashed down And you break your crown And you point your finger But there’s no one around… Oh. Not that one. Anyway, what determines if it’s a billy song or a yynot song?
This is from a solo album, all vocals and most of the instruments I’m doing. YYNOT features every member, also I tend to produce those tracks a bit differently.
Strong tune, very engaging, pulls you in! So that’s what the King of Nothing looks like? Needs to get out in the sun a bit more. But isn’t he in California? The bass player had little sausages so I did not recognize him…. 😜
Ha! ;)
Fantastic! 🤘😎🎉💥
Thank you! Cheers!
👍
👍
Great chord progression here... but hard for a beginner with those bar chords...
That was AMAZING!!!!
Thanks bro :)
Excellent job Billy, that was really good! ✌️♥️😎
That's great Billy! Now the problem for me is the Power Windows tone haha.
@@watchmakerfs vimeo.com/208853585
Tone starts with the hands
@@me734 yep :)
Keep these coming!
who could ever come up with that intro part...
ummm the guitar player from Rush? ;)
Thanks, Billy - great video... and I know it wasn't the point of your whole thing here, but the tone was flippin' awesome! So many people go overboard on the gain, and forget the dynamics and use of the volume knob. Great stuff. Really appreciate what you do - especially the original stuff. Thanks man!
Yes! And thank you :)
Nice job I'm a Neil Peart freak. Can you talk about open chords. Alex talk about how it sounded so full.
@@Shawnee845 absolutely. Pete Townshend was the standard bearer on that. Lifeson readily admits he was one of his most important guitarists in this regard. Even as early as the Who’s beginning he’d use open and suspended chord voicings to widen the sound as well as broaden the textures.
@@billyalexanderguitar I never new that about Pete I will listen to some Who later 👍
@@Shawnee845oh yes even some of the Tom Sawyer chords come from My Generation. Even the “Lifeson Chord” is basically in the intro of Pinball Wizard.
I always loved playing this guitar part in bands. Great cover Billy!!!
Thanks :)
This song really comforted me when my father died eight years ago. “It’s the measure of a life.” “In the fullness of time.” The lyrics of this song and your rendition of it made me tear up just now. In memory of my father, Richard J. Powell. 1935-1985. RIP. 😢
Awesome cover, Billy. Rest in Serenity, Greg.
:)
Awesome stuff Billy
@@waynestarz thanks!
Billy I like it. Very kiss like . See you February at the Sherman theater in Stroudsburg PA
Hmmm hadn’t thought of that! Yep see ya in Feb 🤟

Yeah, baby! 🤘😎💥

Another great tune, Billy!
