Story Behind The Song
There is a growing population of eclectic music lovers whose tastes are not limited by marketing classifications like genre. It is those individuals that I hope to connect with through this song. The piece is an outright defiance to the conventional guidelines popular music traditionally follows. The fact this, I love rock music, and I love to dance. This song is my attempt at blending these two loves.
Song Description
Imagine Ricky Martin teaming up with Lenny Kravitz on guitar and Elton John on piano. A powerfully sudden intro sets the stage for this contemporary rock cross-over piece. Playful and rhythmic verses lead into an energetic and memorable chorus. The hook features fiery piano and guitar melodies beneath lively lead and harmony vocals. The interlude following the second chorus sustains a high level of suspense and tension, released effectively in the instrumental bridge which follows.

Lyrics
Swept away in a mystic dream of a Latin girl
She's walking away from me.
I tried to grasp her
But when she turned around and looked at me
All I said was Seniorita won't you be mine
I love the way you move your body
Can you hear the rhythm of the music
Girl I know you?re feelin' the melody
Now dance with me
Shake your hips and throw you hands up high
Let your body move I see your smile
Do your thing mammy one more time
Shake your hips and throw your hands in the air
Move your body like you just don't care
Fellows don't just stand there and stare
I can't stop dreaming of you
I'm still believing in you
Swept away in a mystic dream of a Latin girl
She's dancing her way to me
I tried to kiss her cherry lips and her tender cheeks
Like a desert rose this girl blew away my mind
I love the way you move me honey
Can you hear the rhythm of the music
Girl I know you?re feelin' the melody
Now dance with me
Shake your hips and throw you hands up high
Let your body move I see your smile
Do your thing mammy one more time
Shake your hips and throw your hands in the air
Move your body like you just don't care
Fellows don't just stand there and stare
I can't stop dreaming of you
I'm still believing in you
Just close your eyes and move your body baby
Stop wasting time, we're here to party baby
We've crossed the line between rock and dance
So come join the ride
