Yes I Do

Another oldy we posted about 10 years ago. I think it has a Lou Ralls sound from the mid-to-late 60s, maybe even the early 70s. As was our previous song, this one was created using BIAB v11.5 in early 2013.

Mixed in Audacity 3.42

A couple things of note:

1. It could use a bit of de-essing. It's not too bad, but still noticeable in places.

2. I did the oooohhhhs on the chorus as BIAB didn't have those RTs at that time. I mixed them louder than I should have - particularly in the first instance of the chorus. Thanks to David Cuny, I signed up @ Spleeter.com and will try to isolate those tracks and tone them down - maybe eliminate them.

3. At the 2:03 point, the lead sax fades a little bit. Not sure why, but will look into it.

4. The sax lead continues (at a lower volume) for a measure after the vocal comes back in and then quickly fades out. Some folks may not like that, but I do in this case. In my opinion, it compliments the vocal. So, it will probably stay.


I don't have a list of the BIAB tracks as this is one of the 30 or so songs that disappeared due to a laptop frying back in late January 2013. It took out the HD and thumb drive that was plugged in at the time, both places where I had saved the song. I now save all my songs on the HD, a thumb drive, and an external HD that's plugged in only when I need it. It's, obviously, one of the Smooth Jazz styles.

Thanks for listening and any comments you might care to leave.


Yes I Do

(v1)
You asked if I still love you
If I still feel the same for you
As I did back when our love was new
When our skies were always blue
Well Honey, don’t you worry
I still love you, yes I do

CHORUS

I’ll always love you;
The way I did when our love was new
I still desire you, the flame is burning true
No need for you to wonder, cuz yes I do

(v2)
And yes, I still want you
I want to make love to you
I want to thrill you, the whole night through
See the fire in your eyes of blue
So Honey, don’t you worry
I still want you, yes I do

Instrumental Chorus

(v3)
Yes I wanna hold you
Make you smile when you’re blue
Keep the flame alive, make one from two
Just one love that’s me and you
So Honey, please don’t worry
I still need you, yes I do

(REPEAT CHORUS)
I’ll always love you
The way I did when our love was new
I still desire you, the flame is burning true
No need for you to wonder, cuz yes I do
