I awoke from a dream with this melody. I dreamt that I was listening to a new song by the Eagles called "Got a Way." When I awoke, I realized I had come up with the melody. I immediately got up, got my guitar and wrote down the notes and chords. Then came the hard part...coming up with the words!

I got Clay Collins who is on FiveRR to sing the vocals. When I released it on Broadjam, it soared right up to #5 Earth following my #1 song, "Stay Here Now."

Oh, I've been asked where do find a grove of trees in the desert? Riparian. Riparian groves are found in the desert in canyons.

SHE HAS A WAY Words and music: John Walradt
She has a way
And I don’t know what to say
She has a way
Got me singin’ feelin’ thinkin’ dreamin’
I’m in love and I’m believin’
Everything is going to be okay
I don’t know how she does it but
You know, you know, you know
She has a way.

She has a way
And it’s going to be another sunny day
Gonna buy a bottle of Cianti
Drive on down a desert highway
Find a grove of trees in case it rains
We’ll camp out on the sand because
You know, you know, you know she has a way.

She's got the eyes that so attract me
Got the mind that understands me, yeah
Oh, I love the way we work together
Make the world a whole lot better
If she wants me, then I'm going to stay.

Thank you, Mario! I don't know if Clay Collins is still doing vocals but he is listed on FiveRR. His harmonies are out of this world. ALL of the instruments are from Band in a Box. No midi arrangements from me as I didn't need any orchestration. Band in a Box has been the real deal for me as a songwriter. I use the daw, Studio One Pro.
