Description

This is my entry for the LSP contest; a light little number for easy listening with a beat. Wasn't thinking about the lost songs when I began this song... until I realized whose style this was. The piano part isn't in this version LOL (can't play well enough).He recorded lots of songs from blues to jazz from the early fifties (I think) and had a comic style with him. His music still sells as I gad to look for an album that this should have been added to.... and yes they're still selling.

Lyrics

I'm often told I'm a dreamer,
I sometimes think that it's true,
'Cause things just seem to happen, When I think about you.

Some might say I'm a schemer,
How else could I have met you?
I had to work to persuade you,
To make my dreams come true.
Chorus
I had to think of somethin'
To bring you to my point of view,
So I just told you that I love you,
An' now you've made my dreams come true.

Verse
Now all the time that I'm dreamin"
Weavin' lovely thoughts about you,
I hope an' pray that you're schemin'
Just to make my dreams come true.
Scat break ( no not that! LOL)

I had to think of somethin',
to bring you to my point of view,
So I just told you that I loved you,
Then you made my dreams come true,

Now all the time that I'm dreamin"
Weavin' lovely thoughts about you,
I hope an' pray that you're schemin'
Just to make my dreams come true.
I hope schemin' dreamscome true....
All the time...
Just keep on schemin'... an' make my dreams come true..
Make 'em all come true, Baby I'm yours.

Moviz	Moviz said 4025 days ago (December 4th, 2007)
	Not Him Feter and not Louis Armstrong either, but there is a muted trumpet there (OK I had to improvise LOL), that's not a clue though, cheers M Check out my latest song called We'll Meet Again

	Stumped I really think I have heard this guy before, but I can not put a name to the sound. Nice light hearted song. I will listen again and maybe have a guess. Thanks Bill Check out my latest song called Beat SoloMe-O

Moviz	Moviz said 4025 days ago (December 4th, 2007)
	The clue is really in the melody and as a pianist you should have a clue... and that's a clue, Regards M Check out my latest song called We'll Meet Again

peacepiano	peacepiano said 4024 days ago (December 5th, 2007)
	Guess This musician was a piano player, and he is still pretty popular so I will suggest Jimmy Durante. Check out my latest song called Beat SoloMe-O

Moviz	Moviz said 4024 days ago (December 6th, 2007)
	LOL Nope! Not him, but I like it... you've suggested him on another of my songs LOL Are you trying to say something about my nose ??? LOL cheers M Check out my latest song called We'll Meet Again

peacepiano	peacepiano said 4023 days ago (December 6th, 2007)
	LOL I don't recall making the reference before, but now that you mention noses ;) Seriously, I think the light hearted style and first class presentation of your music has some similarity to Durante's. Back to the drawing board on my guess, and only a couple days left! Check out my latest song called Beat SoloMe-O

Moviz	Moviz said 4022 days ago (December 7th, 2007)
	It was my song 'Just Smile' I think. It may be a big nose, but I can still hold my head up LOLOL cheers Check out my latest song called We'll Meet Again

	The piano comment kinda rules this out but I hear Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks. I know that's not it - but now I've gotta do a little research. Fantastic song though - I really like the mood and swing. I'll be back. Check out my latest song called mixer 2

If this is supposed to sound like Louis Armsrong.
You nailed it Maurice. Fantastic lyrics and the rhythm guitar sound perfect for the song. I'd like to see you replace the muted trumpet with a regular trumpet or sax part. Also you might want to use a standup bass instead of a bass guitar. But hey, what do I know. other than that I really like what you've done here Maurice, it's a great song and definitely one Sachmo would have done.

Great work my friend

Moviz	Moviz said 4024 days ago (December 5th, 2007)
	It is.. a song he might have done, but alas Ed, it's not him LOL. I'm not mad on the trumpet sounds I have, that's why I tweaked on one of my 'Stiff' sounding horns for a softer more intimate sound, and the bass was a 'session bass'. Glad you approve anyhow, thanks a lot Ed Check out my latest song called We'll Meet Again

	The Way the Guesses Are Going... I was beginning to think Rudy Vallee, but that may be stretching the Time Machine a wee bit TOO much. lol I could be wrong, Maurice, but I believe this may be the first MJ tune with scat singing. ;) Nice job on the style... maybe Cab Calloway? --- Joe Check out my latest song called Crankenhurst Challenge - Verse 1-7 (Inst. Break)

Moviz	Moviz said 4024 days ago (December 6th, 2007)
	He's not the one, but good guess. As I said earlier the clue is in the melody as well as the style. I could have done a vocal impersonation of him as most people can, but....didn't LOL... just the style, regards M Check out my latest song called We'll Meet Again

	said 4024 days ago (December 5th, 2007)

I don't...
...know that much about vocal music popular history, so I won
t speculate...but I know a comfortable song when I hear one. This is it! Such a mellow rendition filled with all sorts of confidence and perfect control of every element. Your vocals are really wonderful here. It reminds me a little of "I'm sittin' on top of the world...".. that REALLY goes back a long way... Anyway, I am so glad my download worked tonight so that I could hear this little jewel of a number. Soooo smoooooooothe.....Yeh.
Peace.

your scattin brought large grins - truly fine job of staying in character thruout.

if this were in my hands, i'd up the guitar, and background in general.
don't cover up your fine vocal, but surround it a bit more dynamically.

oops, dropped my muffler.
