She Knows The Way

NOTE: I updated the post with the song lyrics, as requested.

I took this song my buddy Chris and I wrote quite a while back and redid it using one of the XTRA styles. This song now uses the _ELPASO style, which is in the Country Collection of the XTRA styles, although the song is more Singer-Songwriter.

Chris sings the vocal and I did the arrangement.

The _ELPASO style itself is used completely throughout the song, although the levels have been adjusted somewhat; it consists of:

RealTrack 1253: Bass, Electric, PopShiningHeld Ev 120
Loop: Pop-Soul-RnB\R n B - sweet_75_a drums ev16.wav
RealTrack 2499: Guitar, Baritone Electric, Rhythm PopCountryBrent Ev 120
RealTrack 2508: String Quartet, Rhythm PopEvenHall Ev 120
RealTrack 405: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120
RealTrack 692: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming AcRockBright Ev 120 (A:sync)
RealDrum: NashvilleEven8^4-a,b:Sidestick, HiHat

Then added to the song is the guitar solo:
RealTrack T511: Guitar, Electric, Soloist Dire Ev 140

And also some brass:
RT2113:Trumpet, Background, R&B Ev16 110 (1TrackHornSection)
RT2112:Sax, Tenor, Background, R&B Ev16 110 (1TrackHornSecti
RT2111:Sax, Baritone, Background, R&B Ev16 110 (1TrackHornSection)

Everything was done with a combination of BIAB and RealBand; however, final touchout to the audio file was done using Diamond Cut DC8.5 audio editor.

Hope you enjoy it!

Lyrics:

VERSE 1
She brightens my day with the light of her smile,
And she knows the way, in-to my heart.
Want her to stay, just for a while
Before this delay can keep us apart. [to CHORUS]

CHORUS
And she knows the way to find love lost,
Doesn't matter what the cost,
She never gives up, that's just not her style.
And she knows the way to make love grow,
We'll just have to take it slow.
It won't matter 'cause she knows the way.

VERSE 2
Bright city lights, warm summer nights,
Mem'ries of her, so close to my heart.
Both unaware of dreams that we share.
No more holding back, no more playing the part. [to CHORUS]

INSTRUMENTAL SOLO

Repeat CHORUS

VERSE 3
Found out today, forever she'll stay,
Sharing with me, each moment in time.
Loving our way, longing to say,
'Til eternity ends, I pray you'll be mine. [to CHORUS]

INSTRUMENTAL ENDING
