This is a song that I wrote for my wife yesterday, and the reason being, last Saturday afternoon, I was at work and started having severe chest pains, and the supervisor called an ambulance. The paramedic said that the ekg read abnormal so they ran lights and siren all the way to the hospital about 25 miles away. They ran a marathon of tests on me and kept me for observation. Sunday they were getting ready to discharge me, and all of a sudden I got real hot, and told the nurse I felt like I was going to pass out, and I did, right into cardiac arrest. She called Code Blue and started CPR, and after a few minutes, I came back. She said she couldn't understand how I came to so quickly, but I do, my wife was steadily praying, and God heard her prayers.

You're Always By My Side
https://soundcloud.com/ronniefields/youre-always-by-my-side


The day that we got married, the day we said I do,
I knew you were the one for me, and that our love is true.
It’s been so many years now, with a feeling deep inside,
I know that you are with me, you’re always by my side.

Chorus:

You’re always by my side, don’t ever let me go,
my feelings I can’t hide, Girl I love you so.
We have a bond together, it cannot be denied,
forever for eternity, you’re always by my side.

God put us together, there’s no denying that,
we have been through thick and thin, our love is where it’s at.
As we grow old together, knowing our love will never die,
for as long as I have you, you’re always by my side.

Repeat Chorus:

Hi, Ronnie.

Yow! That's a heck of a story! shocked

I'm glad you're still with us. Given that they apparently didn't find anything actionable after the tests and you still had another episode, hopefully they'll keep looking until they find something.

One thing that always strikes me about your songs is how solidly the harmonic and melodic construction is. Love that Db chord! I liked it so much, I grabbed a copy of the audio with Audacity and using deCoda just to figure out what you were doing there. wink

Nice arrangement, honest and heartfelt lyrics and vocals.

Really well done! It's always a pleasure to listen to your music. smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

So sorry to hear about your medical problems - but so glad to hear you're already and on the mend, and even back to writing music already! The song is absolutely lovely and I bet she loves it. Thanks for sharing.


Cheers,

Aww. I must have been chopping a lot of onions of late. Such a beautiful, sensitive song - perfect. Your voice communicates simply but clearly and emotionally a superb write. The bridge is understated and beautiful. The melody just flows. The way you sing it - few, few people can carry a song like this like that.

Praying for you - hopefully, this is the last of your current brushes with bad health. Enough such drama :-) - hope you'll get back to writing and singing songs like this one. Thank you so much for sharing this one.

Mr. Fields...

"My feelings I can’t hide..." Well, sir, there's no doubt in my mind (and heart) that, indeed, you couldn't hide your feelings for your dear wife even if you tried. I was totally, completely absorbed in the emotion you released from your soul in this recording. It's a poignant listening experience, especially considering the medical crisis you so narrowly avoided. What a testimonial to the power of true love, and faith, too! As many forum members have often said about other songs they've listened to here on the User's Forum, "This one's a keeper." I think this 'true-blue' song deserves a much larger audience, and I hope you get it.

Oh, what a great song, Ronnie. I'm still feeling the goose bumps. What a harrowing story and a beautiful ending. Your song and the emotion in your voice makes us want to send love and spiritual hugs to your wife. See to it, as I'm sure you will.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Wow, what a story. I can't believe you went through so much just a few days ago and now you are singing the praises of your loving wife. That's faith, for sure.

I'm glad you are here. Welcome back (sort of speak).

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
