A beautiful song with words written by Deanne Sweidel

02 Butterfly Tears

Pixie Shells are Blue ( Re-mix )

I first wrote this song in 1993, recorded a proper demo in 1994, and in 2008 the original pop version wound up on my 2nd album "Noisemaker." I've changed it considerably here; there's even a key change towards the end (key changes are something I don't play around with much to be honest!) and I feel there are other songs in my repertoire. You'll hear em' all, along with some new ones, very soon. ;) Enjoy, y'all. 

OUT OF MY HANDS (2014 Version) - Stuart Powell

The 2nd reboot in this new genre I'm attempting, before retreating to create something entirely new from scratch. Hopefully it doesn't sound to contrived. Enjoy. -S.

FIGHTER (2014 Version) - Stuart Powell

This is the first song to come to mind as I'm attempting to write a contemporary style of country. Feel free to comment--let me know how this makes you feel!! 
It's also the first time I've attempted to sing in what is closest to my natural vocal compared to the other two songs, which are lowered in key from a previous version. This song doesn't have as much "twang" to it compared to the others in my opinion, but the main focus was what was in my heart when I put it together over the course of several days. The lyrics spilled out almost spontaneously--you could ask my girl--and she felt firsthand what I do when I go into "the zone." I literally shut myself off, but in a case like this, I feel it was worth it. I hope so at least. This song is about 4 people very dear to me, gone too soon, but at the same time how you feel they're always around the corner, guiding you to your next destination in life. It could be anyone, really, but I thought to make this one really personal. Hope you enjoy it. Share if you do....Maybe I'll get a real band to play this someday.... ;) Enjoy. -S.

On My Mind - Stuart Powell

The one thing about much of what I write is that it can be interpreted in many different ways. Case in point with the song, "Feel It." (If you want to hear the original version, head over to www.coreystuart.com and get the FREE SONG by clicking on the button on the main front page)
Anyhow, I know it may come off slower than the original mix, but before you pass judgment, know that the original is actually SLOWER! lol In any case, I tried to keep the integrity of the song intact, which is getting a tad harder with each cover of my songs I attempt. I'm also coming to the realization that these songs on my new SoundCloud page are intended to be DEMOS and DEMOS ONLY. Arranging dance or electronic music is so much easier, because you can mix & master much of it in your home studio. Not the case with rock, country or anything organic that you don't have real instrumentation on. I'm playing about 30% guitar on much of my material, but still, having a full band backing you on this type of stuff makes all the difference. Hopefully, a major label in Nashville will see past the production and offer me something as a songwriter or artist. I think it would be 200X more kick ass anyhow... ;) But enjoy...it's getting fun, y'all. -S.

I loved you once and you loved me
Something wasn’t meant to be
And like a ship lost out at sea
We drifted but were never free

Dreaming only leads to sorrow
Knowing there was no tomorrow
For time is just a thing we borrow
While our love we’d both outgrow

Now many years have come and gone
And darkness has succumb to dawn
The death of our once paragon
Reveals the truth of moving on

Dreaming only leads to sorrow
Knowing there was no tomorrow
For time is just a thing we borrow
While our love we’d both outgrow

You promised once to grant my dreams
Wrapped with a porch, white picket theme
Old woodwork and some hefty beams
Were not enough or so it seems

Dreaming only leads to sorrow
I knew that there was no tomorrow
Time was just a thing we borrowed
For the new life we’re bestowed

I loved you once and you loved me
Something wasn’t meant to be
And like a ship lost out at sea
We drifted but were never free
