Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

I was asked by doreen to post a link to a sample of my singing....

The following link is with GarageBand, hope you are able to listen without having to sign up........its the only place I have the tune linked to.......

Anyway....sheesh, rambling........

I co-wrote the tune with friends, cj denecia and Greg Gavitt. I wrote the lyrics, the guys wrote a melody to go with the lyrics......

I sing the tune, lead and harmonies.....

Hope you enjoy:

The link worked.. I clicked on "A Reason" on the right hand side and the garageband.com mp3 player opened up. But I can't get it to play! I'm feeling rather stupid. lol... I even clicked "download mp3" but nada... it didn't download. Do you have a copy of the mp3? If you want to email it to me, I can put it up on our server and post a direct link to the song. Sorry this is so much trouble. I'm trying. Maybe it's just my browser and everybody else can hear it ok.

My boyfriend's musician friends have been working with me on covering Judy Blue Eyes; basically they're using me to help find the different harmonies, and then they'll tell me where they want my voice............The boys are having a hard time with the harmonies.........

Here are the lyrics:

A Reason


For every thought
there's two that include you.
The memories all around me
of how it feels knowing you
The depths of destiny
are swimming through my mind.
A possibility of hope I felt
that I would never find.

Chorus

There have been days
when I wanted to crawl away and die
Looking deep inside for a reason,
another season to survive
I found a reason,
its the dawn to a long cold night
Through life's dark hard side,
I see the light.

To bathe in childish laughter,
the connection of two souls
A smile for our good fortune,
cus I might not be alone
Your heart is dear to me,
I never had these feelings before
Your touch shoots through me,
its your passion I adore.

Chorus

Little is easy
and the hard times make us strong
But you're so close to perfect,
and you make me feel I belong
With every thought,
please know that I love you.
Holding on to whats really real
and how it feels knowing you.

Chorus

(c) 2005 Stephens, Denecia, Gavitt
