Guest guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Dear All, This afternoon I finished the Demo Tape of my song, "One Night Love". If you'd like me to send you the file over the Internet as an MP3 file, let me know and I'll forward it along to you. I wrote the song several years ago to point out the futility of promiscuity. It is written as a Country Ballad, and today I finished the arrangement and the recording of the Demo. I'm playing the guitar, doing the singing, managing the drum machine, and doing the mixing all at the same time ;-) LOL. My son Bryan is doing an awesome job of playing the base guitar. The Demo was done on a home recording system and is a rough version (not done in a studio), and I'm hoping it'll sell when I ship it off to Nashville and a couple of producers there. We'll see. Wish me luck, and I hope you enjoy it when I send it to you. Yours in Knowledge, Health and Freedom, Doc PS. If you can't understand the words due to the quality of the recording, I've attached them below. One Night Love ------------------------------ 1. Lonely Girl, Lonely Man, Get together for a one night stand. Whispered words in the heat of the night, Can’t stand up to the mornin’ light. Closin’ door, Silence falls, Shadows play on motel walls; Nothin’ left but the sweet memories of, Reachin’ for a one night love. ------------------------------ Bridge: Loneliness will bring you down, Smokey blues keep a comin’ around. Emptiness has found a way To steal your love for another day. Love never seems to work out just the way that you plan. ------------------------------ 2. Wanderin’ eyes, Searchin’ for, One who’ll give you somethin’ more. Tender touches and a promise to stay, Endin’ up in the same old way. Dancin’ to, a country band, Stolen (or “gentle”) kisses while holdin’ hands. Still your left with the sweet memories of, Reachin’ for a one night love. ------------------------------ Bridge: ------------------------------ 3. Lonely Girl, Lonely Man, Go out lookin’ for a one night stand. Closin’ bar at the end of the night, Single footsteps in the cold moonlight. Passin’ time, Still the same, Gotta stop this losin’ game. Nothin’ left but the sad failures of, Reachin’ for a one night love. ------------------------------ Bridge: ------------------------------ Copyright © 1981, 2004, 2008 by Doc Shillington.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Darn'it Doc, but you are good. I know it's only a demo low quality recording, but you could give George Strait a run for his money.
