Hi everyone. I finally have got the courage up to start posting some of my music and I've set a goal for myself to write a new tune and post it here for every month of 2019. As it's practically July already there is some catching up to do. Here is January.

So in Love With you
Words and Music by Troy Schiewe

Up all night thinking about what you said
Let me tell you it's rattling round my head
Don't even know what I have done
Only know you've got our love on the run

Pretty baby tell me where we went wrong
Hurry now before our love is gone
You say that everything had changed
Let me tell you my love for you is the same

I'm so in love with you
Don't know what it is I going to do
Got to get thru to you, I'm so in love with you

I know we can work it out
About our love I'm sure there is no doubt
If you could see into my heart
You'd know you've owned it from the start

I'm so in love with you
Don't know what it is I can do
Got to get thru to you, I'm so in love with you
I'm so in love with you, I'm so in love with you

Terrific song Troy...
It was a pleasure listening to your song...
But I find it hard to believe I'm the 1st one to comment...
However I don't recall seeing it yesterday...
So I apologize about not commenting sooner...
I'll be looking forward to hearing more of your compositions...
Welcome to the forum!

Great work on this Troy! Oh how time goes on thats for sure. Looking forward to hear more!

Very nicely done Troy!! Welcome to the forum!! This is a nice song....well written and well sung. The arrangement works well for the type of song...looks like you're catching on to using this wonderful software very quickly. I think the vocal may be a little over processed. Great work! Looking forward to hearing more!! Take care. Greg

Hello Troy what a great tune.
Your song writing skill is really on show here
and I love what you have done.
Very well done on the production.
Looking forward to more.
Great stuff .Rob

This was a very beautiful song. Thanks for sharing with us!

Troy,

A really nice first post.

A very pleasant song. Good use of BIAB. The collection of instruments works well for the feel of the song. (You did not list a guitar solo RT...did you play that? Nice whatever it is...).

The vocal and harmonies are really well done. Well recorded. Perhaps very slightly louder than they need to be in the mix?? - and I mean VERY slightly - because overall this is a really good mix.

Enjoyed the listen.

Welcome to the Showcase...

Wow, that was beautiful, I really enjoyed listening to it. All of your skills are right there as far as I'm concerned.

Nice to "meet" you. This was a very well performed and easy to listen to song, mixed well and with a terrific use of the "band".

You did a really great job with this Some incredible harmonies and progressions here, and the instrumentation is top notch. A really crisp mix too - very professional sounding.

Looking forward to hearing the tunes for the remaining months - thanks for sharing!

Troy,

Very nicely done. The pop calypso feel is just right and you have a good voice - relaxed with lots of character( I agree with Floyd the volume could be tweaked down).
A fine song to begin your postings here!

Robert

Welcome to the showcase!

A great entry for sure.

Well written, performed and mixed with a nice choice of RT's and drums.

Enjoyed it...

Hope to hear more...enjoy the forum there's a lot of good music here.

J&B

Very nice tune for your introduction on this forum, welcome! You have selected a nice light pop band. I got some Roy Orbison vibes, I like the vocal processing.

Thanks everyone for the listen and comments. I've been intimidated to post for so long, but finally got the courage up and glad I did.

Good listen - your vocals sound great, excellent mix, and the band sounds top-notch.
