Shadow Dancer The Band:Chris Spruit: Piano, Vocals, BGV Marty Straub: Bass, BGV Dave Bell: Acoustic and Electric Guitars, BGV 2558:Cello, Background SlowSwing Sw 065 EZDrummer2 Mixed in Reaper, mastered with Ozone9 We will do a video for this song as we do for all of our songs, but probably not in time to update the song description here. The last few videos have all had performance elements which makes them more fun IMHO. Check out the YouTube link in my signature if interested. Shadow Dancer (2021, Christiane Spruit)Waiting to set on, my whole life
those shadows moving, blind
I am running wild
can't cross the line
My eyes are scaling up the sky
kaleidoscoping, wide
The breaking sunlight is giving sight
In our boundaries
we are satellites
Like shadow dancers
born to surrender
trying to live a life within / between the lights
Yearning
that we are all returning
not fading like shadows in the nightAll comments welcome!

Lyrics, vocals blend well with the track. Quite haunting.
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

Beautiful vocal. Loved the backtrack and your chord progress. A sense of sadness. Awesome guitar work Dave. Well done

BlueAttitude never falters. A solid band sound with everyone doing their part - and doing it well.
Marty's bass.
Dave's guitars.
Chris' write, vocals, piano.
The band's BGVs.
Y'all have developed a terrific sound. Consistently good. Always an enjoyable listen. One more cut for the next album...
Good mix.
Nice.

Dave, Chris & Marty, you definitely have kept your high bar intact with this song. The vocal delivers the lyric perfectly. The guitars and bass are played with great expertise as expected. Very well produced. Nicely done, Tom

Dave, Marty & Chris,
A beautifully restrained arrangement that fits the song`s mood... which to my ears begins with a slightly eastern feel and builds into a bluesy spiritual affirmation.
Everything sounds right- no surprise!- another fine fine song from you.

Hi Dave, Chris and Marty,
A very intriguing song. Just like the title suggests; dark and with tension. I like that.
It is different from a lot of your songs. Not a typical Blues. The 'heavy' sound of the piano in (some) contrast to the beautiful vocals gave it that intriguing sphere.
You never disappoint me with your songs!
Hans

Hello Dave. This is really a great production.
Good choice of the band and the singer is faultless.

WOW! This is outstanding. You three make one hell of a band!
Loved this from the git-go. The mix is spot on. The vocal is outstanding as are the guitar parts. Marty's bass fits like a glove and oh so good.
This is definitely a winner and IMHO your best to date.

Yes, haunting right from that masterful guitar opening. Chris is flawless on so many levels. I particularly enjoy how the song develops from the far corners of the globe in spite of the language differences. It's a great example of music being the International Language. Let's do the video, Dave.

very nice Dave! Hats off to the whole team on this one! An easy song to like! Love the vocals! Really all the parts fit together perfectly. The cello real track is a nice addition The cello was a last minute addition, I felt the song needed something to kick the chorus up a notch. Thanks, Pat! Lyrics, vocals blend well with the track. Quite haunting. Appreciate the listen and comments! Beautiful vocal. Loved the backtrack and your chord progress. A sense of sadness. Awesome guitar work Dave. Well done I tried a bunch of different things with the guitar but ended up using the less is more approach. Nice to get a comment like that from a fellow guitarist I respect, thanks, Scott!

Really nice - it's immersive like a Pink Floyd song. I never seem to remember the actual lyrics of your songs, because I'm so caught up on the mood and sound. It's as much an "experience" as a song.

BlueAttitude,
Man, what a great vocal—Chris sounds outstanding on this . . . actually the entire production is top notch. Just resonates; totally professional sounding cut. Love the lead guitar work. Brilliant work on this one.
All my best,
