Mr. Majstyk (took the name from an old Charles Bronson movie that no one remembers...kinda cool and obscure...sorta fitting!) Just a man and his guitar and his music. A few fills here and there to keep it interesting. Maybe no one else gets it, but that's OK. The stories needed to be told, to be written, to be recorded and documented. Not to be "hits"...just to be "songs". Stripped down to he essentials. It starts with words and melody. And a story. And an overall musical "mood". Funny how some things never change no matter how much money or technology you throw at it. It starts and ends with the song. I was "in the biz" for a good many years. In the 70's, I was the lead singer/performer (aka Vince Diamond) in the 50's and 60's rock n roll review "Cruis'n". Throughout the 80's, I was the lead singer/songwriter/rhythm guitarist of "Steve One and the Shades", and in the 90's, the lead singer/songwriter/guitarist of "St. Christopher's Sin". Took a break for awhile and moved to Los Angeles. Got into acting and voice-over work, and while that is fun and challenging, I missed the music. Didn't miss being in a "band" per se, but just missed the creative spark of songwriting and guitar playing and singing. So, I unpacked my gear and just started writing again. Archived here for storage and to share with other musicians and "civilians". And I am back to performing live again, doing the kind of variety thing I started with, but this time digging deep into my roots and performing the stuff I heard as a child and thru my formative years..."From Rat Pack to Rock & Roll!" with legendary keyboardist David Moscoe as my music director and band leader.

Story behind the song
My very first attempt at writing and performing a country-style song. Unfinished demo...just me just "jotting down " a song idea.
Lyrics
Something Like This c. 2005 Steve Waddington So this is what it's all about This is why they write those songs The songs I used to laugh about Well, maybe I'm the one who's wrong 'Cause I've never really been in love But I think I could go for Something Like This If this is what it is Something Like This Is what I've always missed You opened up your heart to me And it really took me by surprise That everything I'll ever need Is standing right before my eyes And I don't know why you hang with me But I'm glad I finallly found Something Like This If this is what love is Something Like This Is what I've always missed It's not that I'm afraid of love or to give my heart again But I feel like I'm going back to someplace I've never been... I can't see beyond the stars You can't reach beyond the sky I won't give you promises And I can't begin to tell you why We only have what we can hold But it wouldn't hurt to try Something Like This If this is what it is Something Like This Is what I've always missed Something Like This If this is what love is Something Like This Like your sweet kiss... Something, like this...
