Description
this song is for the open mic coffee house forum. I greatly appreciate the invitation to play. This song was taken in one record take with reverb that I thought is pretty close to some coffee house stages in my hometown downtown . Java J's to be specific. I only did one take because I wanted to preserve the live performance feel of the song. At one point my vocal performance is a little off, so bear with me. Thanks for listening and thanks again for inviting me to play at the "Open Mic at Our House MJ"! Check out the link below for the forum:

Lyrics
Smile At me, I love the way it's beaming,
It is like you're saying, "I love you!"
And you're the reason I'm alive,
And our love with last through all of time!

Dancing on a Star, finding who we are,
With your hand in mine,
Dancing on a Star, finding who we are,
Dancing in a galaxy!

Hold my hand, I love its warming,
Understand the feeling, I love you,
And I'll wipe the tears as they fall down streaming,
It's like our souls are screaming,
I am yours and you are mine,

And that's enough for me to go,

Dancing on a Star, finding who we are,
With your hand in mine,
Dancing on a Star, finding who we are,
Dancing in a galaxy!

See my love, I've lain it out, We're in love without a doubt (2x)

Dancing on a star, finding who we are,
With our hearts intwined,
Dancing on a star, finding who we are,
Dancing in a galaxy!

Dancing on a star (2x)

Cool song and performance
Good job Marshall... I *really* like the song, and I thought your guitar work was great. Singing was quite good too! The lyrics were nice, but definitely got jammed up a little on the chorus line "dancing on a star-finding who we are", that was a little breathless. Fun intro, and felt very coffee-house-ish. The recording was a little clipped here and there, and I think you had the reverb set for "school gym" instead of "starbucks" :)

But bottom line is that I think you need to take this song and run with it... work on it, it feels like a gem in the making!

ttfn,
Drakonis

thanks drak!
I'll definitely give it some extra work. When I listen to it again, the reverb is a little too lively. I'll see what I can do.

Who knows, another take, a little extra work, it could be good.

Thanks for listening!

the first try was a little premature I think, i'm getting a better track in the works down the pike....pretty much this track is the only the basic idea.......

Great Stuff
Yea, I wouldn't be too harsh on your vocal man. You did a great job. Your voice has that great singer/songwriter feel to it. Also that is some rockin acoustic you are playing there. I hope to be able to play that well one day. Keep up the great work.

Peace,
Lank

Good performance
Enthousiastic, and with good basic material.

Easy on the controls, please. Lots of high frequencies, not enough bass. And it clips in places.

thanks Vic!
lol! no kidding! I am coming up with a studio mix which Mark Holbrook has volunteered to collaborate and do the mastering for. For which I am very grateful!

Thanks for the input! The next version should be much less an ear-sore!

Thanks for listening and commenting!

many thanks!
Thanks a bunch for listening! I guess I am overly insecure about my voice. I am working on some more "live" pieces that Are just me jamming. Nothing special, but it might spur some ideas.

Thanks again!
