SEEKING
Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Drums.ABOUT
I'm a Singer, Songwriter and Composer of melody as well as the daughter, sister and cousin of musicians. I released my debut CD in 2013 and recently relocated to Ashaway from a bit northwest of Concord, Massachusetts. I have another new & recently completed 8 song recording produced in NY by Vinnie Zummo, who is most noted for his 7 years as lead guitarist with the legendary, Joe Jackson. This project is currently in the phase of pre-release.
The only trouble is - is that I don't have a live band (except in the studio). As I now live in Rhode Island, I have broken ties in Massachusetts and am not seeking out NYC venues but would rather focus and contribute to the S. County music scene. The hope is to create a unique sound with some able and willing local like-minded people, who are seeking to expand their musical consciousness with new & exciting music to be played live!
For the core band I am in search of:
Guitarists (Rhythm + Lead)
Drummer/percussionist
All band-members should be able & willing to sing back-up harmonies.
Please be in touch if you are interested:-))

Only the Wind
Only the Wind Track number: 5 Year: 2012 Album: Joy Mover Genre: Reggae
‘Only the Wind’ © by Joy Mover
 Only the wind knows why
 Winds in a whispering sky 
Listen as it passes by 
 Hissin and sighin
 Whistlin and cryin 
Hissin and sighin
 Whistlin and cryin 

 Only the wind knows why 
Winds of a wonderin sky
 Echo the moon on the tides It falls and rise
 Gets low and high
 They fall and rise
 Get low and high
 And only the wind knows why
 Yes, only the wind know why Only the wind knows why 
Winds of a soft summer sky
 Floating a butterfly
 It flutters by
 Sweet butterfly 
It flutters by 
Sweet butterfly
 And only the wind knows why
 Yes, only the wind knows why

 So roll down your windows and open up the door
 Which way the wind blows no one knows for sure
 Over the mountains pushin on the streams
 To follow the rainbows that color in our dreams

Maria's Song
Maria's Song Track number: 2 Year: 2012 Album: Joy Mover Genre: Progressive
‘Maria’s Song’ © by Joy Mover First you must look…Then you can find Gotta keep on searchin till you get what you need… all of the time Go, it will be fine… As the wind blows…Leavin the past behind Gotta keep on movin gotta follow you heart, follow the signs Go, enjoy the ride 
 Head toward the sun…Out of the madness These days are done…Over and gone with the tide of sadness 
 Dream a dream oh Maria… Dream a dream Maria Visions you see oh Maria Where you can be Maria
 Cause you’ve had your share of despair Just know that I’ll always care 
 Now that you’ll go…Made up your mind I will always be there but you know that the road it has to wind Go, this is your time You heard the call, echoing deep inside When you hear those voices you know that you can’t push-push them aside No, no place to hide 
 I’m here for you, heart and in spirit Thyself be true…Listen and you will hear it 
 Dream a dream oh Maria… Dream a dream Maria Visions you see oh Maria Where you can be Maria Cause you’ve had your share of despair Just know that I’ll always be there…. 
 This is your time, follow the signs, as the road winds, never goodbye…. See ya, Maria...

 I want you to know it right now Need you to see Time to be showing you how You’re everything to me 
 Your body is my temple Your soul my sanctity All things in time do tell You’re everything to me 
 If you could know how much I care about you You’d feel it when I look into your eyes I want to tell you but I don’t know how to Let you see so you can realize 
 Thought that you’d know me by now Want you to see, somehow Hear me say it out loud You’re everything to me 
 Your body is my temple Your soul my sanctity All things in time do tell You’re everything to me 
 And even the full moon in the sky Can’t hold a candle to the light Burning inside you so bright…tonight

Corcovado Track number: 9 Year: 2012 Album: Joy Mover Genre: Jazz
Corcovado/Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars Music & Lyrics by Antonio Carlos Jobim Quiet nights of quiet stars quiet chords from my guitar floating on the silence that surrounds us. Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams quiet walks by quiet streams and a window that looks out on the mountains and the sea, oh how lovely This is where I want to be here with you so close to me until the final flicker of life's ember. I who was lost and lonely believing life was only a bitter tragic joke, have found with you, the meaning of existence, oh my love

Nature Boy
Nature Boy Track number: 6 Year: 2012 Album: Joy Mover Genre: Jazz
Nature Boy, Music & Lyrics by E. Ahbez There was a boy A very strange enchanted boy They say he wandered very far, very far Over land and sea A little shy And sad of eye But very wise Was he And then one day A magic day he passed my way And while we spoke of many things, fools and kings This he said to me "The greatest thing You'll ever learn Is just to love And be loved In return" (instrumental interlude) The greatest thing You'll ever learn Is just to love And be loved In return

Till There Was You
Till There Was You Track number: 8 Year: 2012 Album: Joy Mover Genre: R&B
Till There Was You Music & Lyrics by Meredith Wilson+ New Intro ‘Rap’ by Joy Mover I used to walk around, putting love down I never found it, seen the beauty, heard the sound The magic in a kiss, didn’t exist Wishin on a fallin star Only goes so far Never knowin, where I was goin Till you came along with a love so strong That I never knew, till there was you darlin… There were bells on the hill But I never heard them ringing, No, I never heard them at all Till there was you. There were birds in the sky But I never saw them winging No, I never saw them at all Till there was you. And there was music, And there were wonderful roses, They tell me, In sweet fragrant meadows of dawn, and dew. There was love all around But I never heard it singing No, I never heard it at all Till there was you…

Have You Ever Loved?
Have You Ever Loved? Track number: 4 Year: 2013 Album: 'Sweets' EP (Not released) Genre: Latin
Have You Ever Loved?’ © Words by Joy Mover, Music by Joy Mover & John Paul Have you ever loved? Have you ever needed someone? Have you ever loved? Have you felt your heart come undone? Given everything Heard the songs love sings Tell me have you ever really loved someone? 
Have you ever touched? Have you really let yourself go? Wanted them so much That you really lost all control Fallen in so deep That you’re losing all your sleep Tell me, have you ever really loved someone? 
Destino searched all the stars to find us Lit up the path behind us Finally found our way Primero it feels like the first time Our hearts dance in the same rhyme Now we awake in a brand new day 
Do you still believe? Do you still believe there’s someone? Who could fill the need? Is that something you’d still run from? Could you now reveal? What you truly feel Tell me, have you ever really loved someone? 
Destino searched all the stars to find us Lit up the path behind us Finally found our way Primero it feels like the first time Our hearts dance in the same rhyme Now we awake in a brand new day 
Have you ever loved? Have you ever needed someone? Have you ever loved? Have you felt your heart come undone Flown upon love’s wings To the destiny it brings Tell me, have you ever really loved someone? 
Do you still believe? Do you still believe there’s someone? Who could fill the need? Is that something you’d still run from? Baby can’t you see You are everything to me Could it be this endless search is done? Could it be it’s me who’s your someone?

Midnight Oil
Midnight Oil Track number: 1 Year: 2013 Album: 'Sweets' EP (Not released) Genre: Latin
‘Midnight Oil’ © by Joy Mover When the week is over make the turn
 Light the midnight oil and let it burn Shake off those blues you had all day Turn off the news, go out and play Celebrate till dawn brings on the day Get it while you can that’s what they say Don’t have too much time to get away What does it take to have some fun? Lie on the beach, feeling the sun Dancing in the moonlight with someone 
 So little time for ourselves, Livin for somebody else Day in and out, till we’re old and grey Dance while we feel it Spin till we turn it around Day into night, work into play 
 Let’s join the party, under the moonlight We’ll dance, beneath the stars and We’ll still be burnin till midnight Celebrating our lives 
 I declare the weekend’s here to stay That’s the way I want it everyday Shake off the blues, turn off the news You pay your dues everyday Turn off the blues with your dancin shoes Let yourself cruise through the day...
