A short time ago I posted this song (Hey There) as a saxophone instrumental and I appreciate all of the comments...I'm posting today the original vocal rendition that inspired that instrumental...my daughter Amber does the vocals and this maybe my favorite song she's ever done for me and she has done a ton of them (bless her heart!)...the song is about loneliness and hope...if you choose to...thanks for listening...Dan

Hey There

Vocals: Amber Eaker
Strings and synths: me
Lyrics:
Hey there, I see that far away look in your eyes
Hey there, I know it really comes as no surprise...to you
Cause you’ve felt this way so many times before
There’ve been those who say they love you
Then they walked right out the door
It leaves you lonely and lifeless... and looking for a friend

Hey there, I see those shadows growing in your heart
Hey there, I know you just can’t find a place to start...anew
Cause you’ve searched through all the places
You always seem to go
And you’ve looked through all the faces of everyone you know
It leaves you lonely and lifeless... and looking for a friend

Searching for someone who'll really care
Looking deep inside for answers that aren’t there
Hoping in your heart there’s someone who will share with you

Hey there, there’s someone who’s been knocking at your door
Hey there, He’s the One your heart’s been longing for
He’ll never leave you or forsake you, you can trust in Him
His love will hold you and will take you to the very end

Never lonely or lifeless again...you’ve found a Friend
Never lonely or lifeless again...you’ve found a Friend
You’ve found a Friend

Dan,

As much as I liked the instrumental version, this wins out for me! Your vocalist has done such a wonderful job here! It's a pro performance for sure! The melody is catchy...one of the best I've ever heard here! It's a total work of art that should be appreciated by any listener! Thanks, Torrey

Thank you Torrey...can't tell you how much I value your thoughts...yeah, "my vocalist" has been singing for me, with me and to me since she was a toddler...my favorite voice in the world...oh, by the way it was your video (Here's My Cup) that turned me on to Vedan Media (I've used their clips for three videos now)...again thanks for your kind and encouraging words...Dan

Dan,

Your daughter has an awesome voice. Her vocal, your instrumentation, and your playing skills make this a winner.

It I heard this in a CD shop I would have purchased it.

Loved it.

Hi, Dan.

What Torrey, Mario and bloc-head said - top shelf all the way.

Remember on that prior thread where you wrote:

This song proves you to be overly modest. wink

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Wow, so gorgeously done, Dan. Yeah, you can't miss with Amber at the mic. Beautiful voice, and spectacular harmonies. What a strong build to the song. Love the modulation. Man, those strings are so well done, too. The whole band plays from the same page, and it's such a well-written page.


Enjoy whatever happens!

My sincere thanks to all of you talented artists that have taken the time to listen and comment on Hey There...Amber can deliver a heart-felt and passionate delivery every time...the sincerity and vulnerability of her voice always melts my heart (but I'm slightly prejudiced)...however I can tell she has the same effect on some of you...again thanks for your kind and encouraging comments...Dan

Hey thanks Bob...I don't know what a "sync placement" is...but I'm assuming it's good?...I appreciate your comments.
