You


Yesterday (Saturday, 10-04-25) Di would have been 79 years old. I was going to post this yesterday - on her birthday - but it was a really tough day, and I didn't get it done. You know, that first year of all the special days when you've lost a spouse is a challenge, emotionally.

We wrote and recorded this in late 2011 using a different music generation program. I ripped her voice from that recording and moved it over to these tracks with BIAB RTs and RDs that I generated for this version.

I hope you don't mind me reposting one I posted just 5 years ago, but I thought it would be appropriate to do so anyway. Besides, many of the newer forum members have never heard her sing.

I made a few slight changes since the previous post, but nothing significant. I softened the flute a small amount and gave the drum kit a very slight increase in the upper mids. That brought out the brushes and cymbals a bit more.

Di on vocals, and we collabbed on the lyric. I wrote all the music.

I sure do miss hearing that sweet voice singing around the house almost every day.

Hope you enjoy,

Alan

PS: Di was just a couple of weeks from her 65th birthday when she recorded this.




You

(v1)
You, light up my stars at night
You, make everything so right
I don’t know what I’d do
If you ever went away

(v2)
You, lift my spirits high
You can always make me sigh
I pray to God each night
That you’ll always want to stay

CHORUS
If you ever said goodbye
I don’t know what I’d do
There would be nothing left
Of me without you

Instrumental Verse

(v3)
You, are the life of me
You set my spirit free
Without you I’d never be
The woman I’ve become

(v4)
You, you’ll never know how much
You can thrill me with your touch
It’s like magic when we kiss
When our hearts melt into one

Repeat Chorus
