You Can't Buy This FeelingSorry, here's yet ANOTHER happy Power Pop tune. For the outro I strapped on my best take on an America's Got Talent/Eurovision BIG vocal. Which ain't me, of course. But what I lack in vocal talent I try to make up for in sincerity. That might not be enough this time though. Ha!
All the instruments you hear are from the 2026 _CARD.STY RealStyle EXCEPT...the RealDrums in this style have a hissing ride cymbal in the B section that I couldn't tame with EQ so I substituted the same style with an open high hat. (If you right click on the RealDrums track and select "Find a Sub for RealDrums" the accent options for the currently selected RealDrums will be shown. HardPopRock, for example, has six accent options.)
THANKS as always for any listens and comments. Truthfully, this forum has played a HUGE role in my musical growth, and I'm HUGELY appreciative. Thank you.

You Can't Buy this FeelingYeah, I’m light on my feet
I’m dancing with her
Standing up to defeat
Cuz I’m no quitter
And though I know this has only begun
I just want it to be over and done
And not with all this waiting around
What is that sound?
I think it’s my heartbeat
Or maybe it’s hers
It could be the breakthrough
Or whatever occurs
Between the moments
When we catch each other’s eyes
And each breath we breathe
Until we both realize
You can’t buy this feeling
Peel myself off the ceiling
Cuz it’s all so revealing
You can’t buy this feeling
Yeah, I’m no Fred Astaire
If you have to ask
I’m just glued to this chair
I’m taken to task
And in another lifetime, we’re the ones
Who shine much brighter than a million suns
We ride the shiny merry-go-round
What is that sound?
I think it’s my heartbeat
Or maybe it’s hers
It could be the breakthrough
Or whatever occurs
Between the moments
When we catch each other’s eyes
And each breath we breathe
Until we both realize
You can’t buy this feeling
Peel myself off the ceiling
Cuz it’s all so revealing
You can’t buy this feeling
I’m kneeling
While she’s stealing my heart
I’m healing
Just concealing my heart
Freewheeling
While I’m playing my part
Until she comes around
What is that sound?I think it’s my heartbeat
Or maybe it’s hers...
