This is a song that I actually wrote a couple years ago, but I recently totally rearranged and recorded it.  I hope you enjoy it.  All the music is BIAB RealTracks/RealDrums, with some tambourine added.  All the vocals are me.

Here are the lyrics...

A Night Like This
Words and Music, Copyright Stephen W. Young

Bright stars shining in the sky tonight
There doesn't seem to be a cloud in sight
There's a big moon smiling on your car going down the road
All the trees are swaying to the sound of the radio
A little country, a little rock n roll
The kids are sitting in the back seat
Smiling as they hear you sing
And on a night like this you can do anything
Yeah, on a night like this you can do anything

You haven't seen your mom in it's been too long
Your daddy's getting older but he's still having fun
There's a big apple pie on the table in the dining room
There'll be be deep discussions of trivial stuff
The wisdom in this house is more than enough
The kids are dancing in the front room
Laughing as they hear you sing
And on a night like this you can do anything
Yeah, on a night like this you can do anything

Now the food is ready and it smells so good
You know you'll probably eat more than you should
The people you love gather round the table in the dining room
As you join hands to give thanks it feels so right
But this is nothing special, it's just another night
The kids are sitting at the table
Smiling as they hear you pray
And on a night like this you can do anything
Yeah, on a night like this you can do anything
And with a life like this you can do anything

--

Thanks!

Steve

Steve, all I can say is WOW.

This is a great song, super lyrics, backing tracks and of course a super vocal.  You are the master of RealTracks!

Have you ever considered doing a CD? If I had heard this in a record/CD store I would have purchased it right then and there!

Wow, indeed! Kiss

This cross-over country is such an accessible sound for the North-American listener. Good song - great performance!
