Wow, what a production! Everything about this, the arrangement, the performance, and the mix is totally pro to these ears.
Great song!

Steve, Your mixes always amaze me as do your vocals. The arrangement is great as the additional instruments are added. The overall sound that you manage to get is something I have paid close attention to over the years and I have learned a great deal just from listening to your songs. Another catchy great write " And I can't wait to see what the future brings
When I consider the past" My best to you, Tom Tom said it all. Yes, in addition to your fine performances, great melodies and positive lyrics your production values are top notch and well worth the attention of those wanting to improve. One might take it for granted given how seamlessly everything flows but we know that requires a LOT of finesse and attention to detail. And the positive lyrics? Well anybody, OK most anybody, can write something positive but your lyrics genuinely speak to the heart and soul of the listener. We enjoyed it immensely and it makes a fine addition to our playlist. J&B

Steve, this song is fantastic!!! It's got a great seventies vibe to it and it inspires me so much! When I listen to this it makes me realize what great music we had back then and sadly I didn't appreciate it enough at the time. Your vocal is perfect and the strings you used in this did not go unnoticed by me! They were great! Enjoyed it! Thanks, Torrey

When you post a song I just wait to hear those backing vocals. You do those so amazingly well. You have such a pleasing tone to your voice.
I'm a big fan of both your writing and delivery.

What a great tune and one of my favorite chord progressions. Solid through and through with your choice of instruments, arrangement and performance. Like others, I always look forward to your posts and this song is one of my favorites so far.
Charlie Thanks, Charlie! I always appreciate your kind remarks! Steve,
Always pleased to see a song post pop up from you!
Your productions are always top shelf...as are your arrangements, vocals, mixes...
An excellent "simple love song" write. Love the structure of it. The bridge is really well done. Following that with a 2 line verse and back to the chorus was super. This has the quality of a James Taylor "simple love song". Doesn't get any better than that...
fj Thank you, Floyd! I have been blessed with a great wife for over 42 years now. That makes it easier to write these "sappy love songs".  Thanks for the James Tayler comparison. He's one of my favorites. Always appreciate hearing from you! Wow - you nailed this! I'm definitely getting a 70's vibe on this one. Also, that arrangement is smooth as butter. It was hard not to tap my foot and sway along. It sounds warm, inviting, and heartfelt. And those strings that kick it around the minute mark - done! Fantastic job on this - thanks so much for sharing Deryk, I really appreciate you taking the time to give this one a listen, and comment. You guys at PG are the greatest! Thanks so much for your very kind words! === Steve

Hello, Steve
I love very much The Rhodes piano in this tune.
The chord progression which descends with a semitone is wonderful.
The piano at Interlude is very good.
The strings that come out in the second half of the song are also really effective.
And above all, your vocal is splendid.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Mr. Young...
Your song, "I Love You (I Do)", could be the next most popular musical selection made by engaged couples to play at their weddings. Move over, Joe Cocker, Whitney Houston and The Carpenters!
The song is intimately warm, tightly arranged, and a little funky, even. Oh, and danceable, too! Your string writing is luxurious and could be mistaken for the "real thing" if you had not revealed the virtual instrument software you used.
With a "high-five",
LOREN

Steve… Totally enjoyed listening to this track.
I have to say that this is the type of track that, when I’m listening to it I’m thinking, “Pay close attention..there is a lot to be learned here.”
It comes off it’s so easy and smooth, but there is really good design and production in this.
I especially liked the eight or so bars of instrumental that you added after each verse… For me, that really let me absorb your lyrics before you movedonto the next thought, so I like that design element.
The arpeggiated strings that rolled up so nicely to introduce your bridge were really great. I also like the background organ That created some very nice color.
Thanks for sharing your work, I’ll be listening to it again to pick up some hints and tips!
