Acoustic Demos - Round Three

The day before this writing session with Tim, I received a message from someone on Facebook, asking if I could write a love song.  Something she could sing to her husband as they danced.

I brought this to the table, and Tim and I both felt like this was a good idea to tackle!  So we wrote...Three Little Words.  Most of the chorus lines...are only 3 words long:)  

I kept thinking of what someone would want to whisper to someone else, while dancing.

verse 1)
Three little chords
A simple little tune
All the right words
I wanna say to you

(verse 2)
Like no love song
You ever heard
Here it comes
Three little words

(chorus 1)
I love you
Forever and ever
Hold you tight
By my side
Look at me
Know it’s true
I love you
Yes I do

(verse 3)
The way you sing our song
You sing the words wrong
Just to get me to smile
Till it hurts

(verse 4)
Every little kiss
I never wanna miss
Every time you say those
Three little words

(chorus 2)
I love you
Forever and ever
Hold you tight
By my side
Look at me
Know it’s true
I love you
Yes I do

(bridge)
So here we are, standing together
Ain’t nothing gonna tear us, apart

(1/2 chorus 3)
Cuz,
I love you
Forever and ever
Hold you tight
By my side

(chorus 4)
I love you
Forever and ever
Hold you tight
By my side
Look at me
Know it’s true
I love you
Baby,
I love you
Yes I do….


Three Little Words - Marshall Dane

We smiled the whole way through this song!  Dave Tompson...the guy from WAVE!!  A Canadian pop band from, I'm thinking, mid 2000's.  I had no idea I was gonna write with 'that' guy!!!  I showed up at the door, in this cool part of Nashville, and to my surprise, greeted by not only a fellow Canadian, but a guy, that I know a lot of my friends respect as an artist and songwriter, in the business:)

A chilled out tune that makes reference to girls, preachers and firin' it up!!

Rollin' On

A
Roll what you want
Roll where you will
Small towns big towns
Hollers in the hills
 
D
Friday night dreamers
Sunday morning preachers
Bm
Hey
All ya at the top of the bleachers
 
A
Girls get ur guys
Guys get ur girls
Invite tonight
The whole damn world
D
It’s time to ra-lly
Jump out your seat
Bm
Hey
It’s about time that we:
 
(Chorus)
A
Fire it up
Raise our cups
Let our hands hold the sky up
D
All night  long
Go on and get gone
Bm
Hey
And keep rollin’ on
 
Roll through the fields
Roll through the crowds
Just Git er done
and get here now
 
Something’s going off
Something’s going on
Hey
You don’t wanna miss this one
 
CHORUS
Bridge:
F#M
And when it’s time to
G
Leave
            D
We’ll go another round
And go another round
And go another round
 
 
(CHORUS) x 2
End on intro A


Rollin On - Marshall Dane

Love this song!!!
I wanted to take advantage of the fact that Jessie Jo was gonna bring the female perspective...and Matt had a cool pop feel....So..I mentioned I wanted to write an upbeat love song!  From the second those words came out...the excitement to write this song started!  

My favourite was when Matt asked if I felt okay with singing..."feeling' bout as fly as a red corvette".... 
I'm allllll overrrr that line!!!!!

Love Thang - Marshall Dane

Marshall Dane is not your typical Artist / Songwriter. 


Marshall's not chasing validation from an industry preoccupied with the number of streams music receives. Rather, he is a confident, independent Artist who has lived a full life - a man who has stayed true to himself and who has not been swayed by external pressures. A natural-born storyteller, Marshall’s journey has beenshaped by a life full of victories and setbacks. Experiences that have made him the unique person and Artist that he is today. 


Born into a family of musicians, Marshall Dane has a unique background. The son of a preacher man, his upbringing influences his music with a depth of soul rarely seen. His music is not just about entertainment - it’s as much about deeply connecting with his audience.


One of the most striking things about Marshall is his authenticity and genuine love for music. He doesn't shy away from sharing his vulnerabilities or emotions, and his confessional style of delivering lyrics resonates deeply with listeners. 


Whether playing for 40 people or 4000 people, Marshall’s passion shines through in every performance. He leaves it all on stage, pouring his heart and soul into every song with an unforgettable presence that captivates the audience. 


What also sets Marshall apart is his use of American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate with the Deaf community.  As the son of a minister, he was raised with a strong sense of compassion and inclusivity which extends to his music and his dedication to helping others. By incorporating ASL into his performances, he not only makes his music accessible to the Deaf, but he also raises awareness of this community. Marshall's talent has to-date earned him five nominations for Male Artist of the Year at the Country Music Association of Ontario Awards. He has also graced the stages of renowned music festivals such as Boots and Hearts, Sarnia Bayfest, The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) and the Calgary Stampede and has performed shows supporting Alan Jackson, Blue Rodeo, Eric Church and many more.


A unique blend of country, rock and singer-songwriter, Marshall's music has a universal appeal that transcends borders. His music has captured the hearts of the Canadian audience, as well as the hearts of an international audience with his songs playing on radio across Canada and the United States, including KX96, Great Lakes Country 102, Pure Country,iHeart Radio, CBC and Rogers.


Marshall is a transformative experience for the people who are moved and fulfilled by what it is that Marshall Dane so emotively and willingly shares. Quite simply, if you didn’t know Marshall Dane when you arrived, there is absolutely no way you will be able to forget him when you leave.
