You Just Way Too Sweet


I have revised this song using almost every suggestion offered.

Thank all of you - those suggestions were extremely helpful.

I dropped the horns a bit in the verses to give the vocals more room. I dropped them a little bit less on the choruses. I gave the piano a little more beef in its solo. I also, per Floyd's suggestion, added a hefty dose of slap-back delay to the vocal. Also, I lowered the middle-mid EQ and lower-low-end EQ on the vocal. In addition, I brought the vocal track a little more forward. Too much? Let me know what you think! Thanks!!!


This is just a WIP at this point. It's pretty much a throw-away lyric. And, my vocal is simply a placeholder for someone who can sing this genre as it should be sung. That said, this one is more about the instrumentation/beat than the singer or lyric - not that they should be ignored, by any means. A good singer would definitely improve the overall presentation. But the band is the main focus. Any helpful comments/suggestions are welcome.

24 Bar Intro

(v1)
Bees staying busy making that honey all through the day
And birds are a singing their songs while the people all sway
But they can’t do it sweeter than you, there just ain’t no way

CHORUS
The first time I met you, you swept me right off my feet
I knew at first glance you were the one that I’d wanna keep
I couldn’t help myself cuz baby you just way too sweet

(v2)
Those birds and bees gave up cuz they know that it’s true
They just can’t conjure their sweetness half as good as you do
Although they try their best, they just don’t compare to you

Chorus
The first time I met you, you swept me right off my feet
I knew at first glance you were the one that I’d wanna keep
I couldn’t help myself cuz baby you just way too sweet
