The Stars 02:39
The Stars One night I was sitting outside I looked into the sky and see a thousand stars I can’t believe the brightness of the sky So bright, it lights up the whole world Something I have never seen before So bright, so beautiful I really love, the brightness of the night sky, the night sky Its’ such a magical sight, so calm, so soothing Our world, is lit by tiny fireballs I’m spending hours, just gazing, it’s amazing So bright, so beautiful So high, so high, so high (2x) I’ll make a wish on a shining star As I gaze upon the moon I know my wish, it will come true Live, love, laugh and dream, it’s who we are And now it’s time, I say good night, say good night Until, another day is born In a bright, snow sunshine morning Now the night, has come to an end Stars and moon, I’ll see you again So high, so high, so high (3x)

I Still Think of You Tonight If dreams were real, you'd be right here If dreams were true, I'd be with you, I'd be with you But your only in my mind Chasing my dreams, I'm not letting go Cause I know Someday I'll find you I’d climb the highest peak, if you knew I’d sail the seven seas, just to see you, just to be with you But your only in my mind I still think of you tonight I can rely on you When I'm depressed or sad You'll lift my spirits up But if only you existed... If dreams were real, you'd be right here If dreams were true I'd be with you, I'd be with you Chasing my dreams, I'm not letting go Cause I know Someday I'll find you, someday I'll find you But your only in my mind I still think of you tonight Solo Harmonies – LA LA LA LA LA…

I need a friend, who sticks by my side Never leave me hangin dry With this rain outside Dancin, Dancin, Dancin in the rain Is like swimmin, swimmin, swimming in the stars Dancin, Dancin, Dancin in the rain Is like swimmin, swimmin, swimming in the stars Dancin, Dancin, Dancin in the rain Is like swimmin, swimmin, swimming in the stars Dancin, Dancin, Dancin in the rain Is like swimmin, swimmin, swimming in the stars I’m looking out for you, I call your name And there you are… And there you are, are, are…

Sitting on a Dream Saturday morning, I'm thinking of you But they don't know what we've been through I try to deny, all the love But it’s too high above... And it’s sitting on a dream I lay on my bed, these songs in my head I try to stop, this love unsaid You want to rely on, all the love But It’s too high above... And it’s sitting on a dream Think we had it all but I guess I was wrong and the songs go on and on about me and about you and all that we've been through ... Saturday morning, I'm thinking of you But they don't know what we've been through I try to deny, all the love ... all the love...all the love Saturday morning, I'm thinking of you Now that I know, what I must do I try to defy, all your love But its too high above... It's just sitting on a dream I lay on my bed, these songs in my head I try to stop, this love unsaid I try to defy, all the love But its too high above... And its sitting on a dream It's just sitting on a dream It's just sitting on a dream

NEW!!!!

SONGSHOP FOR KIDS: SONG RECORDING SERVICE!

Kids Creating Songs. Musical Moments.

For individual children or a group of co-writing kids.

I am David Somerville, Music Producer, Singer-Songwriter and Creator of the SongShop for Kids Program.

The reason I am bringing this service to the public is to fulfill a need that was created in doing the SongShop for Kids programs over the last two years.


==================================================


We have GREAT NEWS!

The video for the 2015 SongShop for Kids song "The Stars" is completed!

Thank you to the amazing crew at the Digital Media crew at the NB College of Craft & Design for choosing Hannah's song and have her participate in the video! It was an amazing experience for us.

Here is the video!

We have been awarded a grant to present the SongShop for Kids program to the New Maryland Elementary School in 2016!

We are so excited to be able to continue this amazing project with a new school starting in January 2016.

Please feel free to experience the music of last years amazingly creative kids at Connaught Street School who took the experience of songwriting to heart.

You are FREE to listen too, download and sharing this wonderful CD.

When this project came to me from an email from Charlene McLeod an amazing music teacher from Connaught Street school with the idea of coming to the school to work with the kids from her classes. She had been exploring songwriting with the kids and wanted to go further with this idea.

All I could think of was when I was a 5th grader and saw this most amazing band "FreeFare" that came to our school singing and spreading an inspirational message to us kids. I was so moved and knew on that day I wanted to be a musician for life! Well I had that same feeling. If I could inspire just one kid to love music the way I had well...I knew I wanted this project to happen.

Two months later with the help of music teacher Charlene McLeod and the generous funding from the Artist-in-school program of the “Arts and Cultural Industries Branch” of the NB Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture as well as the Education and Early Childhood Development program and SongShop for Kids was born!

Once all the songs had been written and arranged it was time for the recording part of the project at 2Dogs Productions. I asked three talented Fredericton singer-songwriters Julie MacLean, Camilo Villamizar and Paula Tozer to join me as guest singers on the kids songs to give the project that professional feel. These amazing songs deserved it!

Now, the recording is finished and the songs are for sale. We even have a music video that is in production by the Digital Media crew at the NB College of Craft & Design for December release of the song "The Stars" sung by the amazing Julie MacLean. (www.juliemacleanmusic.com )

released June 6, 2015

This EP is the result of alot of hard work, dedication and creativity of many people. It was an amazing three months working with the kids.

To the amazing kids from Connaught Street School who blew me away from day one of the project with their creativity, courage and openness to just sing melodies and put lyrics to them...music in its purest form! Take a bow! KEEP WRITING GREAT SONGS!
