Lyrics

Carolina Moon
Peekin' through the branches
Silver shadow dances
Lights the path
That leads to your front door
Makes my spirit soar
Carolina Moon

Crickets by the creek
Rubbin' legs together
Lovin' the warmer weather
Sing a song
That says I'm almost there
Soon I'll get to share
This Carolina Moon

Old boots polished
New shirt pressed
Words well practiced
Hidden in my vest
Check my pocket
Pat that prescious stone
That's hopin' to find a home

Now we're sittin' on the porch
Hearts and minds combinin'
Fingers intertwinin'
Makin' plans that
Only we can know
Soakin' up the glow
Of this Carolina Moon
Carolina Moon

Soft breeze and a cozy glider
Sweet kiss and this
Carolina Moon

The vocal really drives this song, it has a great feel and vibe. The two voice parts sound real good together they kind of float in the air. Nice

Nice and smooth Americana piece. Great lyrics and well delivered. Pro production. Well done!

I'm a big fan of the AABA format and this is a nice tune. It has a nice feel and groove to it. nice musical parts to it, and the harmonies are wonderful.

Nice intro... gliding into harmonies....vocals clear... really like the harmonies...drum kit just the right amount not intrusive...nice job

James Taylor sound. Could work as a blues tune as well!

-really nice lead vocal and harmonies
-great organic instrumentation
-love the groove and vibe
-love the hook. its more of a 'refrain' song than a chorus song, which is cool. I'd want that cool refrain starting and/or ending every section of your song structure.

I always love your stuff.......Steely Danish

Love this song-great demo!

THIS IS FOR A CAROLINA SHAG ON THE BEACH WITH A BON FIRE
GREAT TUNE, IM FROM NC AND THIS IS THE SOUNDS OF THE SWEET SUMMER TIME
WITH SHAG MUSIC AND SALT IN THE AIR,

Instrumental was nice and so were the harmonies. Instrumental was nice too. Good job.

Enjoyed it. Good luck to you!

This is an extremely well-thought out, beautifully crafted song. The performance is flawless; the lyrics original and the production lovely. Not enough good things to say about it. It combines nature and love and adding that to the beautiful state of NC makes it a sure winner. Your word pictures are excellent, from the crickets rubbing their legs together, to the polished boots, pressed shirt and love note words in your pocket...fantastic lyric writing. Easy-going feel, could be folk or country...either way, I love it and wish you the best with this fantastic tune!

nice folk song, like the imagery, the soft groovy, allman bros. type guitar. crickets rubbing their legs together? HA HA
good fill in guitar

Nice feeling to the song.

Beautiful intro. Nice melody and very nice lyrics. I believe in 3 chords and the truth. Sometimes less is more. If you try to make it too intriguing you take away from the memorability of the song.

Very beautiful work. Great guitar work and instrumentation. Well produced. Nice Work!

The vocals and instrumentation were well suited for this song. It had an "Old Country" feel too it, which was refreshing to listen to. The overall recording of the song had a really good feel too it with all of the parts. It was actually an enjoyable song to listen to.

Very unique lyrics and lovely arrangement in the song. Vocals are also really good, really like the vocals and harmony work.

enjoyed the melody
