I sure enjoyed my listen this morning, Marvin:
Cross Your Heart is chock-full of sincerity and all the heart-tugging experiences that happen every day "on the Rodeo Circuit." Well written and your Demo Artist was perfect for your song.
Best of luck with it. ----Dave

That is a fine country song, Marvin. A great lyric and arrangement. And the vocal commands attention in the best way.

Thank you Dave and Mike! I wrote this several years ago when traditional country was the current flavor, but it has sat dormant ever since the country genre changed, and I have not pitched it much. I believe someday the genre will change again and I can start pitching this one. It has always been one of my favorite writes. Thanks again for listening and commenting!
Best, Marvin

Traditional country is so relative...starting in the 1920's and onward it seems every 20 years or so the tradition changed. We like the period that this one sits in...late 80's to early 2000's.
There was such a wonderful outpouring of great songs during those years and this one fits right square in that. And it fits in very comfortably.
Well written and very convincingly sung!
