[SORRY! I was forced to remove the link because it is an unreleased demo, which some have recognized the performers, but left this thread up (with more details are in a response by me near the end of this thread.) I appreciate everyone's responses and ideas.]

Here’s a simple arrangement of an original love duet, mainly using just 3 instruments (piano/bass/guitar) from BAKHOME.STY Back Home Basic Ctry Swing Waltz.

The tracks were dragged, droped & mixed in Cubase 12 (Windows)
The guitar was doubled by BIAB and hard-panned L/R
The piano part was altered a bit and notes and chords add by Spectrasonics Keyscape in various places
A gentle string pad was added using EastWest Opus Composer Cloud

Lyrics:

Let our love be a fortress to keep us safe and strong
When storm winds are raging all around
We will build a foundation, and no matter what comes along
The winds of the world can never bring it down

Let our hearts be an ocean, the union of two seas
The meeting of waters deep and wide
That a wave of tenderness may surge eternally
Leaving pearls of devotion on the shore of life

Through this world, side by side
We will help one another be strong
Knowing we’ll always be guided as sure as we look for the dawn
In heart and soul united as one

Let our home be a refuge where all can find a friend
Let there be no strangers in our lives
May our love be a fortress enduring until the end
And in all the worlds our union will abide
And in all the worlds our union will abide
