Submitted for the ATS/BTS Music Contest 2009


Dancing With The Alien (Click to play)

Believe or not believe
Believe or not believe
A choice we have to make
To see or not to see
When the story breaks

Watching it all
Little room left to cast doubt
Believe or not believe

Dancing with the alien
We’re not supposed to know it
Dancing with the alien
Now no one can control it

The sky, at night
Fills with mysterious lights
We’ve been hoping
We’ve been waiting
To see the proof of other life

Watching it all
Little room left to cast doubt
They are here…No fear

Dancing with the alien
We’re not supposed to know it
Dancing with the alien
Now no one can control it
Dancing with the alien
Now everyone will know it

We are dancing with the alien

Watching it all
Little room left to cast doubt
Believe or not believe (they are here)
Believe or not believe (no fear)
Believe or not believe

Dancing with the alien

This is one I co-wrote with my ex-wife. She wrote most of the lyrics and performed all the vocals. I wrote the music, some lyrics, played all the instruments, and did the recording/production. Unfortunately we have lost touch over the years...

Also, that is a new master of the original mix.

Cool Stuff! I really liked it!

To Shade- Thanks much, and lol, I have no idea what other song you are referring to? Care to tell me? I'm curious!

To Boomer1941- Thanks much, it was a lot of fun to write and record!

Very nice! somehow reminds me of the band Yes a bit. Really classic rock-y I like.

Thanks. Reminds you of Yes? Hmm, never had anyone say that before, especially about this tune... But yes, I was a bit influenced by Yes. Fragile album.

Definitely sounds more like RUSH in my opinion. Innovative though! Which I am up for. Thanks for the upload.

Ahh, busted me! I am a total Rush freak (or used to be). They kinda lost me after the Album "Signals". What's sad is at the time I didn't have the equipment to record live drums, so I had to use electronic drums instead. I tried later to put real drums on it, but that never worked out either to my satisfaction. So for this I just said screw it and put up the original mix, after I remastered it. But this all done at home, no big studio mics or anything like that. And you're welcome! I have no illusions about winning this though, there's some really good stuff up here!
