New Demo - Out Of My Dreams

It's been a while since I've written a song even though I've been working on two or three songs for some time now. (Hopefully they'll get recorded soon). It was while I sat at the piano wainting for Pro Tools to wake up in preparation to record one of these said songs when Out of my dreams dropped into my life. Strangely enough that's how I used to always write my songs. Await inspiration then go with the flow allowing the song to write itself. Aftr some useful and constructive comments on some of those songs I've recently spent more time 'perfecting' lyrics and honing melodic ideas. So this trip back to this old style took me by surprise, BUT .... I didn't allow the song to direct in the same way and spent some time on the lyrics after the initial melody appeared. I even collaborated on the lyrics with my good friend J. Brian Hill.

The result is this demo which needs virtually every track recording again, but I'm so excited about the song I wanted to share it with you all. I intend to record the piano, voice and bass again and add strings and possibly acoustic guitar. Some slight modifications to the arrangement as well nd if I feel inspired maybe a guitar solo So watch this space and expect an update in the next decade. I hope you enjoy this love song which I dedicate to my beautiful wife Tamara.
