Just A Dream ” is a song PSR has been working on for a couple of months now. It started as the BiaB country ballad style and was morphed into this. SteveS is the singer, BobH is finger picking the main nylon guitar rhythm while I’m playing the harmony finger picked nylon guitar, the bass and the electric guitar lead. I either modified or wrote the remaining parts.

We hope you like it.

The lyrics:

Just a Dream

I just met the sweetest girl
The prettiest I've ever seen
And she thinks I'm a special guy
Or is this just a dream

Many times I've felt a spark
But this feels like a flame
And now that I've seen your smile
Things won't be the same

*** chorus ***
You came to me on a summer day
So often in my mind
And now that I've touched your hand
Will you stay by my side
Or is this just a dream
I hope it’s not a dream

The day will come-will say I do
And look in each other’s eyes
The reflections there-they will change
But you'll stay by my side

Funny how we just met
And all of this is new
Love at first sight is not a myth
It’s happening with you

--- chorus ---
You came to me on a summer day
So often in my mind
And now that I've touched your hand
Will you stay by my side
Or is this just a dream


Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

Hey Mario,

Very nice. I like.
Adding the extra reverb to the vocal at certain spots was a nice touch.
Good job guys.
PSR, is that your band?

MarioD,
Very cool effects. One would say "dream-like." Well done.

Thanx Tim for listening and the very kind review.

PSR is an acronym for Pumping Station Road. Two guitarist and a lyricist, all high friends from way back with two now being brother-in-laws, have been writing songs and playing a family camp fires for years. About three years ago we hooked up and they come over every Sunday for recording. Well that is supposed to be the reason as many Sundays we just have a few beers and listen to music and/or talk. Every once in a while we record something

Great song MarioD! Like all your other productions: very well performed and produced. The effect on the vocals creates a dreamy feeling!


It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Nice song Mario.

Does it use Band-in-a-Box or RealBand? People reading this forum are expecting to see what track(s) are using BB or RealBand, or at least be told clearly that they are or aren't using these programs.
If using BB or RealBand, please mention what RealTracks #s, or style names.

If posting a song that isn't using BB or RealBand, please post to the Off-Topic forum.


Have Fun!

Hi Peter,

This song, as most all of my songs, started in BiaB using the “country ballad” style. Then it was, as again most all of my songs are, exported to Sonar. The midi guitar and bass parts were replaced with real people (RPs I call them ). The midi drums were slightly reworked to better fit the song. The midi strings were highly modified and divided into individual string parts.

I am assuming that original songs that start in BiaB then exported and reworked in Sonar or any other DAW are supposed to be posted here. If this is wrong please advise.

Thanx for listening.

Mario,

That really sounds nice, especially the beers and getting together and talking. LOL.

Mario,

This is a nice song. I agree, I wish it had a little more of your lead guitar. But that's probably a good thing. Keep 'em asking for more!
