Standing In The Spotlight
J.W.Pepper Editor's Choice Arrangement!
Songwriter Michael Mott penned this homage to performance in the style of a Billy Joel rock song -- and it's been transformed into a show choir opener that 'spotlights' an opening soloist (backed by a solo guitar). Fun to perform and filled with vocal moments that keep the intensity level high until the last bar.
Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/2 Tbn/Alto, Tenor Sax

You don't even need another reason now A simple little ditty that you feel somehow Hit 'em and you'll get 'em in the final bow But you're standing in the spotlight now Now that you are standing in the spotlight, hold tight Everything is gonna be just fine Even though the burning light is so bright, stage right You're the one who really has to shine Never ever sever with the hot beat, cold feet You're forever with a clever rhyme Everybody else is looking up here, don't fear Know that what you show is worth their time You don't even need another reason now A simple little ditty that you feel somehow Hit 'em and you'll get 'em in the final bow But you're standing in the spotlight now Let the rhythm give 'em just a pop groove, so smooth Everyone'll wanna feel the beat Slap 'em with a layer from the fast pace hot bass And they'll never wanna leave their seat You don't even need another reason now A simple little ditty that you feel somehow Hit 'em and you'll get 'em in the final bow But you're standing in the spotlight now And time will tell the story of The one who sang a song of love But will they ever rise above it all You will go far, be a rock star You'll never make 'em yawn Just one hit tune, trust me that soon They'll all be singin' along You don't even need another reason now A simple little ditty that you feel somehow Hit 'em and you'll get 'em in the final bow But you're standing in the spotlight now (Michael Mott)
