Castles Out of the Sky
Some time after the release of "Binky the Doormat," a woman named Martine wrote and sang a song. Her story is here. Excerpts:

...Back then she didn't know about all the complications and disappointments her first song, written by her and with her vocals, "Castles in the Sky" would bring along with the success. The record company decided to put someone else on stage, for no apparent reason it seemed...

Martine D. J. Theeuwen, better known as Marsha, was born on October 7th 1976, in Belgium. Marsha was the youngest of 2 daughters of music-loving parents'. Marsha had a penchant for music and performing from a very young age....

...One of the conditions to get a true chance to sing a demo tape was making up the lyrics herself. This is when she created the vocal melody and the lyrics of her debut: "Castles in the sky".

Besides the bad car accident that she got into on the way to the final recording session and the fact that she had to quit her job to be able to make it there, everything was looking wonderful. Back then she didn't know about all the complications and disappointments "Castles in the Sky" would bring along with the success.

The record company decided to put someone else on stage, for no apparent reason it seemed. There wasn't anything she was able to do or say, that would make them change their mind, since they never intended for her to be on stage, ...ever.

Torn apart by all the deceit, she saw here dream passing her by and being handed over to someone else who would get all the appreciation for all she had worked for. Not being fully credited in any way by the record company, she got devastated. Although they still had the guts to request a follow up, Marsha nicely turned it down as she had completely lost her faith in their fake promises.

Emotionally upset and in need of a new perspective on life, she even gave up all singing for a while. The Belgian music industry knew she was the real singer and numerous offers came to her from all sides. She started to search for appreciation on the internet, and noticed that her part was vital for the song's amazing success. She started to sing again for a couple of people and gained a little confidence again that way....
