They cover a wide variety of musical styles; some will be instrumental. Defining features include female vocals, combined acoustic/electronic instrumentation, and lyrics that address life’s diversity of experience. Good creative music! A compilation physical CD will likely be available in the future. Be sure to give HeatherSong’s Christmas CD “YO, IT’S CHRISTMAS!” a listen as well – currently for purchase as a physical CD and fundraiser, with digi downloads available too.

Many of you truly love music and are inclined to think about it beyond your embrace of a favorite tune. You’re curious about how songs get written, produced, performed, recorded, protected, published, covered and so on. The whole process intrigues you, as might the complexities of marketing. Consider this. I’ve been encouraged directly and personally – and more than a few times – by powerful and accomplished people in the music industry. The emphasis was on writing – that many people can sing, but not everyone can write! That’s music and lyrics. Now consider that as an artist I have developed to the point where I write music and lyrics, produce and arrange the originals while performing all instrumentation, record my vocals, and market the resulting product. I’m truly behind these productions. I don’t like to emphasize “competition” since I don’t personally believe it’s the true nature of music or the arts. Art affords very personal exploration that facilitates positive growth of the human spirit – personal development. Results can often be universally beneficial and appreciated. But dodging false humility, I must also reflect upon my accomplishments and direction. I’m willing to say that I don’t believe there’s a huge female population aspiring along these same lines and covering all these bases. As a recipient of this GIFT of music and lyric, I must reflect that my ability to demonstrate it seems to be exceptional and multi-faceted. Necessity being the mother of invention? My interest in learning production grew from the practical need to make song demos as a prolific writer. I was more surprised than anybody to discover these related but latent abilities lurking deep within. I hear from an amazing assortment of DJs and prominent engineers and producers who make it clear to me in a personal way that they appreciate my creativity and experimentation, and admire the skill required. So I persevere in my effort to develop it as best I can, and hope that I may ultimately successfully share my music with many enthusiastic “fans”. To their enjoyment and benefit, to mine, and to that of the family who has supported my efforts. Especially to my husband Kurt who perseveres with me (politely put!) and provides hefty studio systems support/expertise that I greatly need to succeed. When music is not at all his career background. What a guy! Thank you, Kurt! And thank YOU for listening to HeatherSong music!

1. Looking For You - Music and lyrics by HeatherSong. OK, this is hooky-HOT! Unique yet commercial. A celebration of the search for love, with a nice mix of acoustic/electronic instrumentation. I followed Jim O’s production inspiration for this song. He’s a skilled bass guitarist (among other things) and recorded his track over a completed production, smoothly and artistically grounding things. Then gutsy Josh – a young talented studio drummer – laid some inspired, contemporary drums over my completed tracks, many of which I later ditched. How did Josh do it? Oh, the courage – and the EARS! In this unlikely and not ideal approach, an endearing quirky ambiance was created which suits this song perfectly and adds to its laid-back, hopeful search for future love, you know? Playful mix of styles in a sensual acoustic/electronic youthful zone. Enjoy the Search!! Anyway, these two gentlemen cheerfully came through with their inspiration for this song and I’m grateful. Their fine work will get another exhibit my next album, to include a very cool instrumental version of this tune. Thank you Jim and Josh!

Ride a daydream into the sun
It calls me – and I will come
Creep gently into my mind
I’m asking . . . what will my heart find?
Oh -- I’m looking for you
Looking for you – for you
Now I’m -- now I’m looking for you
Oh -- I’m looking for you
Looking for you – for you
Now I’m -- now I’m looking for you
I’m looking for you – Looking for you
Move seductively into my night
Inhibitions giving up the fight
I’ve seen you and felt your touch
I’m out to find you – ‘cause I want you so much
Oh -- I’m looking for you
Looking for you – for you
Now I’m -- now I’m looking for you
Oh -- I’m looking for you
Looking for you – for you
Now I’m -- now I’m looking for you . . .
You’re a vision – it’s true
Guide me . . . to you . . .
Looking for you . . .
Looking for you – for you
Now I’m – now I’m looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you you you you you
Now I’m – now I’m looking for you . . .
Now I’m looking for you -- Looking for you
Gonna be true -- Looking for you
Now I’m – Now I’m looking for you . . .
2. Every Breath You Take – a cover by Sting. Another interesting mix of acoustic and electronic, with sound effects and tongue-in-cheek humor. Here’s a “female stalker perspective” with a surprise scenario! Open your mind and enjoy . . . First, Paula was game for this freaky little scenario and we had some fun. Thank you, Paula. Like I said in the car: just TRY to live this down! And Jim B. joins in with dulcet sax tones in all the right ways. Then – well after the fact – Jim O. at my request adds his sexy supporting bass. Nice! Definitely a different spin on this cover!

3. You Are My Sunshine – This song is a cover – and I think a national treasure – by Jimmie Davis who was once Governor of Louisiana. He died in 2000 at a probable age of 101! Nobody knew for sure. But everybody knows this extraordinary song! Once again, Jim Bilinski contributes SO much to this classic with his sax and flute colorings. He especially appreciated Cathy’s vocals and framed them beautifully. Then some time later my friend Jim O. comes to the rescue for a diagnosis of “seriously bass-deficient”. His remedy was really hard to take! Thank you, Jim -- let’s do some work, shall we? In this arrangement, young Cathy sings her heart out in an emotional exchange with Grandpa Kurt. Special – and “YOU GO, CATHY!”
