This is the first song I`ve ever recorded in a pro recording studio about a year ago. I`m a little nervous to record any Celine`s songs yet, but I would love all of your comments on this one! Thanks so much

that's the same file you posted earlier well, I went to your myspace, finally heard it. It's a wonderful piece, calm, peaceful and soothing. You're got talent and a nice voice. I liked it the minute I heard the song.

I really look forward to listening to some Celine songs.

PS curious, you worked for Starbucks before?

First of all let me just say I loved the title.
The m4a file worked just fine for me, in Winam, thank you.

You are brilliant, girl! You should really really go on. The sweetness in your voice makes me think back to Eva Cassidy.
Have you written "Coffeehouse girl" yourself? It's extremely well-written (I'm a singer/songwriter too). My most sincere congratulations!

Hope to hear more songs from you... maybe "Calling you"?... If you want me to send you karaoke mp3, just PM with a list

Thank you very much! I`ll try a Celine song soon...just nervous And no, oddly enough I`ve never worked at Starbucks lol. I wrote it when I was thinking about how musicians usually get thier start--in coffeehouses, bars, etc. And people either ignore you sometimes or they don`t like you at all, or sometimes they love you. But in the end its just about the music and how it makes you happy.

Thank you so much for the compliments! I really appreciates them.  Eva Cassidy is a big influence of mine, (as well as Celine of course   ) its cool that you could hear that in my voice. I did write "Coffeehouse Girl". Its the first one I recorded in the studio. At first I didn`t like it, but I`m liking it more now. What kind of music do you write? and thanks for the karaoke tunes offer. I`ll keep them in mind. I try to sing Celine`s versions of "God Bless America" and her other big songs, but I have a hard time belting towards the end.   Hey when you record a song on here what do you use? your computer? Is it a certain software?

[Rush2Sknnr]

yeah. i would definately try one of celine's songs.

[Nando Férri]

WOW!!! AMAZING!!! Great voice and great song!!! Could you post the lycris?

[kathyc25]

I`m so glad you like the song you guys  . Here are the lyrics:

Coffehouse Girl
written and composed by Kathy Craig

I`m sittin` up here with my guitar
Singing hey yeah hey yeah yeah

And I look down into the crowd
With thier lattes and cappucinos
I can see `em with thier up turned nose

They whisper who does she think she is?
Who`s she trying to be like now?

Chorus: I`m a coffeehouse girl
            Doin what I do best
            Doin what I love best yeah
            I put my music to the test
            I`m not tryin` to impress the rest

I`m traveling with my guitar
Singing hey yeah hey yeah yeah

And I look out into the crowd
With thier cosmos and martinis
What happened to just a beer hey
What happened to just a beer

They`re sayin` who does she think she is
Who`s she trying to be like now

Chorus 2X

Bridge: Its been so many years
           That I`ve been doing this thing
           So many damn long years
           I use it as my escape
           Use it to get away
           Use it...

I`m sittin` up here with my guitar
Singin` hey yeah hey yeah yeah

And I look out into the crowd
So many smiling faces
I see so many smiling faces out there

They`re cheering look who she is now
Look what she`s done now yeah

But I`m a coffeehouse girl
Doing what I do best
Doing what I love best yeah
I put the music to the test
I`m always trying to impress the rest..whoa whoa yeah

I really love your song it reminds me of Alanis Morresette and i don't hear Celine in it at all. It is really unique and I will be listening to it quite often. GREAT JOB. I love it!!

[kathyc25]

Thank you very much. I try to not sound like Celine too much when I sing because I want a sound that`s all my own...just like Celine has a sound all her own  

[celinedrop]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've just listened your song and I'm really impressed!  
It sounds so professional! Congratulations, you're really skilled  
I do think you should take a shot at Celine songs...
Have you shown this to anyone else, besides the folks here in the forum?

Thank you so much I`m actually trying to record 'Then You Look At Me' but I have a hard time belting out her higher notes in the song   So I may change it a little...who knows. I have a myspace music page you can check out the other songs I recorded there...I`m trying to do more open mics too.

I find the idea of recording "Then you look at me" amazing, though it's a challenge, but I think it's a doable one...Have you ever thought of recording any of Celine's French songs?
BTW, I've problems with myspace.com, so I couldn't check out the other songs you recorded... Either you post some more here or I won't be able to listen to them till you're famous...
Good luck anyway...
