The last couple of months have been crazy for me! I've been working about 60 hours a week, and my daughter had a baby 3 weeks ago. A beautiful girl, 8lb, 2oz - not bragging, mind you, just reporting facts!

I finally had time yesterday to sit down and write another song. All RealTracks/RealDrums, with some brass and strings that I arranged using Garritan Personal Orchestra. All the vocals are me (cheap labor). I hope you enjoy it!

You're The Only One For Me

Here are the lyrics...

You're The Only One For Me
Words & Music, Copyright Stephen W. Young

I dream about the future
About the way things ought to be
And baby, you're the only one for me
But I don't need imagination
For me to know the way I feel
Cause you're the only one for me

No one ever moved me
The way you do
I'm so glad I found
Someone like you

Every day that I am with you
Is another dream come true
Cause you're the only one for me
I love everything about you
I love everything you do
Cause baby, you're the only one for me

No one ever moved me
The way you do
I'm so blessed to find
Someone like you

And if you didn't notice
I want everyone to know
That you're the only one for me

No one ever moved me
The way you do
I'm so blessed to find
Someone like you

Steve,

Really enjoyed the vocals using your first class lyrics.
The touch of harmony is just right, also enjoyed the delayed "echo"
at the ending.

The guitar solo after the fiddles was also a nice touch.

Your vocals are so easy going, not forced and fit this nice love song to a "Tee".

Thanks for hard work and sharing with us!

I always look forward to hearing your work. Very well done and always polished. You truly are skilled at all levels but the production is just awesome.

I have a grandson on the way in January.

Congratulations!

Hi Steve,

I agree with MrEd, I always look forward to hearing your work, too.

As I've said a few times, now, you have a wonderful knack for finding sounds that work together even though the names of those sounds suggest otherwise. I'd never thought of combining a "Celtic" guitar, Brent Mason and a "Reggae" B3. Without fail, you always manage to impress me

All the best,
Noel

P.S. I also have no idea how you manage to maintain such a busy life as well as write music!

Another stunner Steve. I really enjoyed this.
There's a Jason Mraz groove going on there. A nice song immaculately produced.

John

PS: Congrats on the new addition to the family!

Mike,
Your kind words are so appreciated! And congratulations on your future grandson in January! Is this your first? Grandkids are the best!!!

Noel,
Thank you very much! I am constantly trying to find different ways to use the instrumentation available to us with BIAB. I like to think outside the box when I am using the box! (BTW, it's after 10pm here, and I just got home from work - have to be back there at 8:30am tomorrow. Pretty tiring at times, but thank God I have a way to earn a good income! I do enjoy my days off, though!)

Josie,
Always so good to hear from you! Your input is always welcome. Glad you like this one. Got to see my granddaughter Friday. I am definitely blessed!

Tommy,
Okay, I'll never apologize for bragging on my kids and grandkids! I don't know what I would do if you took away my Texas membership card! Thanks for your generous comments, my friend!

John,
Thanks so much for the compliment! I have only heard a couple of Jason's songs, but I am pretty impressed with what little I have heard. I am flattered by the comparison. Thanks again for taking the time to listen and comment. I am a big fan of yours!

Love everything about this. Your productions are always so spot on. The B3 is brilliant. The fiddle and guitar leads are perfect. Your vocals (and harmonies) are so crisp, clean and relaxed - beautiful. A gorgeous mix. Hard to believe that this did not come out of a "high dollar studio".

Bravo.

What a lovely melody you captured in the vocal delivery. It sails so smoothly over the the great BIAB arrangement. I love that fiddle. I might have to purchase that package. Great song. Great recording. Great sentiments.

Everything that I wanted to say has been said so all I can add is two thumbs up!


I arrived early to a restaurant.
The manager asks, "do you mind waiting a bit?"
I said no.
"Good", he said. "Take these drinks to table 3"
