To Be With You Several years ago, I wrote the first two lines of the chorus for my wife and had been stuck there. I finally was able to write a song around those lines. It's one of my few upbeat songs because my lyrics tend to get hokey when I write about happiness, so here is some hokey scheissen. I did borrow a little from Wordsworth in the second verse. An alternate title could be "Ode to My Missus."  This one is all RTs: RT1683 Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm PopPromise RT1270 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopUpliftSyncMuted RT697 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm ElecRockDirty RT2688 Guitar, Electric, Soloist RockBrentSimple RealBass 683 RealDrums-Nashville Lyrics: When the morning sun Pries open your eyes You light a smile And you burst the sky Has it been this long We can’t be wrong We’re right where we belong Have I ever told you How good it feels to be with you If I’ve never told you I don’t need words to say I love you In the breath of night Dancing with the daffodils Blissful stolen kiss My heart overfills Has it been this long We can’t be wrong We’re right where we belong Have I ever told you How good it feels to be with you If I’ve never told you I don’t need words to say I love you

Wow!!! This is great listening  I really enjoyed everything about this... your singing, the band, the mix, the arrangement... everything. Incorporating some Wordsworth was a stroke of genius! I can sincerely say, that when I've struggled for words, looking at poets has never occurred to me. This is a valuable lesson and I will certainly be keeping it my mind from now on. You got my applause! All the best, Noel

Most women I know, including Moi, don't mind a little hokeyness from her guy at all long as it's sincere. I wasn't expecting a rocker. Very nicely done.

Scott, Nice! VERY well written tune. Nice spread of energy throughout, no dips. Three listens, I am convinced. Vocals and mix are very crisp. Listens well. Thank you for sharing. Misha. P.S. I like your alternative title

Hokey? Not for a 42 year happily married couple like us!
Janice said she was sweetly hooked from the first verse.
"We’re right where we belong" Indeed.
And you delivered that lyric with a nice vocal, mix, and RT/RD choice.
And we most enjoyed the positivity of it all.

I didn't read no hokey things in the lyrics...
Ezekiel, it is very interesting to make a rocky lovesong. The lyrics are romantic, sweet and also a bit literary. Mixed with the strong guitar and rest of the 'wild' band gives it a attractive song. Maybe then hokey things slips in ones mind?
You did a very good job on this one!
I enjoyed it,
Hans

Hi Scott,
This is a really good song. It's kind of like you've melded Buddy Holly and the talking heads together.
Nice lyrics and super vocals. I enjoyed the listen...

This mix is outstanding! I have on my good head phones. Wow I love this sound. Nice panning of the guitars off to the left and right. Great ending.
So nice for the lady to hear too! Can't go wrong with this one.
Maybe if you have time Scott... a few secrets on how you treat the RT's in your DAW?
