Hi everyone! This is an uptempo, country song with a hint of some great 50s/60s-sounding guitar licks in it...I have been working with a great lyricist, Bill Osofsky, lately, and this is one of our songs. We would appreciate a listen. Thanks!

Heaven Here With Him
Copyright 2005
Lyrics: Bill Osofsky/BMI
Music/Vocals: Shelia Quattlebaum/BMI

www.soundclick.com/bands/8/billosofskymusic.htm

He didn't come on strong the night I met him
Just asked if we could hang out for a spell
We sang some karaoke and we laughed until we cried
Downed some beer and raised a little hell

His reputation wasn't any secret
Heck, every woman in the county knew
But if we dance a bit too close and talk a little loud
Tell me, how much harm's that gonna do

Chorus
It's not as though I don't respect the preachers
I bend some rules but that sure ain't a sin
It isn't that I don't believe in heaven
But it feels just like heaven here with him

Mama always taught me to be careful
Don't ever let ole Satan take your soul
This guy looks like an angel, but the devil's in his eyes
But up till now my heart is all he's stole

Repeat chorus

Heaven's where'I'm gonna spend eternity
Or so I pray, so I pray
I guess I'll need to steer clear of the likes of him
But I'm not gonna start today

Repeat chorus

Shelia,
That's not a bad start... on heaven I mean! [Linked Image]

But the song is great... fantastic demo. As usual, enjoyed your vocals. You did fine & it's pitching time! [Linked Image]

Hi Michael, Thanks for listening...we might try and pitch this..worked hard on it.

Rob!!! I hope you get a chance to check it out. Please let me know if you do, okay? Soundclick can be irritating at times.

Darby, Thanks for listening. I agree; we could have gone a "tad" faster with it. But to me, no biggie if someone wants to record this song...the tempo can just be sped up!

Barney! Glad to heard from you..I had a blast with this song. Bill is a very good lyricist... a little different style he has with the writing than my own, but I think we are doing a great job of working together so far. He has some great stuff! I haven't forgotten about your song...I am going to try and fit that in the next time I get into the studio, which might be this week. will let you know!

Shelia: This a good feeling song with a great groove. Wow you have a nice voice. If ever you want to work on something together, I would be honored. Like the way you handled the song and your phrasing was just right for my ears. If you find a song in my list that strikes your fancy or if you have a song you like , Maybe I could at least give it a shot. Until then I will keep on enjoying your stuff.

Hugs...P

Hey, I think this is a pretty good start..but I do have a problem with it personally. It seems to me the singing pattern and melody are pretty much the same in the verse and chorus. I personally think you should maybe consider working on that.

Thanks, Doug! I think we are in for a slight re-write....which can only make it even better. This was a fun song to do and hopefully is a fun song to listen to!
