I wanted to write something happy. So here's a new little ditty with a vintage beach music vibe. Thanks for listening and your thoughts are always appreciated. Hope you enjoy: BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME©2016 Josie Beck I used to think that love was a faded word in the pages of old books Like the fiction that fell from lips that made me cry Then you said if I could find my faith My happy ending would be with you And you wrote a brand new story in my life Ohohoh Look at me I'm a believer A receiver Because you loved me Now my life is so full of possibilities And I can dare to dream Because you loved me I knew that you were different when we'd go walking down the beach And you were finding dreams I'd buried in the sand Like the rainbow in a rainstorm You kept shining on my doubts You're amazing, I'm so glad I took your hand Vocals/harmonies me. Created in BIAB/RB and mixed in Reaper. Drums - PraiseWorship Power Push;Bass; Guitars 1524, 1257, 1259; Piano 1535; Horns 2347, 2348, 2110. Josie

Hi Josie.
This is simply wonderful and probably the best thing I've heard you post.
The production and arrangement shows great maturity in the choice of instruments and in when and where they appear. I particularly liked the bass and drums which worked so well together and gave the track lots of impetus.
Your vocals are superb in this and the BVs are inspired - the oohs in the end section are terrific and sound spontaneous, as though they were improvised.
The whole thing is topped off with a splendid mix, which is loud, with plenty of punch, without sounding over-compressed.
You should be really pleased with this.
ROG.

Yes - you've captured the beach music vibe - I agree with ROG, this is a really top write, arrangement and performance. I like it and I mean I like it a lot... Vocals, lead and BG are stellar. This will stand up well with anything on the Beach top 20 at Surf 94.9 Great job. EDIT: Played this one for wife Cindy. She's says it's your best one yet (as she was shagging with a door casing.)

Thank you ROG! You made my day. That means so much to me coming from you. I worked so hard on this arrangement and mix - 32 tracks - most I've ever done. And yes the improv ending was spur of the moment having a little fun on the last track of that day after doing harmony parts.

Wow, Charlie and Cindy!! Shagging to a song I did, hey, it doesn't get any better than that for me. Well maybe only if the radio played it. I was so anxious to see what you thought about the song because I know you are in to beach music. I'm so happy you like it. Thank you!

Josie!
You've delivered a masterpiece here.
I really liked the build from the very first note.
Absolutely fantastic lyrics, embedded perfectly in a sensational melody, with quality backing vocals throughout.
Not a hint of a weak-link anywhere. You must be very pleased with your efforts.
Outstanding.

This is cool. Very nice job and yeah, I too think it's among the best you have done.
My thoughts are that this is reminiscent of the classic 70's hits with the horns.... and I don't know why I was thinking about Karen Carpenter....
Excellent work.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Charlie presented a really fine description of your tune. It is indeed a nice one Josie. The first two lines really set up the song well. Cool. 32 tracks!! Sheeeesh....it's all I can do to mix five or six. Great work and, as you mentioned, I'm sure there was a LOT of effort put into this one. J&B

Josie, I love the melody. It does remind me of Karen Carpenter and the 70's. Love the big arrangement. I like the drum sound and you sang this perfectly. Great job. Definitely among your best. Tom

Josie B, so wonderful to have you posting again.
Yes, I'm hearing Karen Carpenter in your voice. I've always said you had a fabulous voice and delivery.
Your production is spot on and a total joy to hear.
Thanks for sharing.
