If I Fall In Love With You


OKAY - POSTED THE CORRECT LYRIC FOR THIS VERSION. DUH!!!

Another medium tempo big band swing song reminiscent of the 1940s and 1950s. Lots of horns and a nice steady rhythm. Perhaps similar to something Sinatra might have recorded.

The vocal comes across a little bit louder on Soundcloud than it does on my original tracks - not much but a bit. I guess it has something to do with their compression process.

Thanks for listening and any comments you might care to leave.

If I Fall In Love With You
© 2017 Alan D. David, BMI / Diana Randall, BMI

(v1)
If I fall in love with you, will you never make me blue
Love me forever or love me never
Will you kiss me every day, regardless of what comes our way
Even in stormy weather
I’ll give you everything I have, a love that will endure
I only ask the same of you, and the promise that you’re sure

CHORUS
I have to know that we’ll have tomorrow every day
I’ll promise you eternal love, cuz that’s the only way
My love will be forever true, if I fall in love with you

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE

CHORUS
I have to know if there’s a tomorrow every day
I’ll promise you forever, cuz that’s the only way
My love will be forever true, if I fall in love with you

Alan,

That's really well done. Great job with the horns - they are perfect for this. Everything about this fits the era...

Alan,
You own this style! This should be picked upby a modern day crooner like Michael Buble.
Super smooth and very enjoyable.

Really nice work here, Alan smile You can tell it comes from a sincere spot, and I love how smooth it sounds. Someone else mentioned Michael Buble's name - I absolutely agree with them! From the vocal performance, to the arrangement, to the trumpet solo - I don't think I'd change a thing here.

Thanks so much for sharing this!

Thanks so much, Floyd. Glad you enjoyed it. I took into consideration a lot of your comments on my previous. I think it came out much better than it might have because of your input ... thanks! I do "listen" to the comments folk make on my posts. I appreciate your suggestions, as I do other folks, very much.

Wishing you and yours a great Thanksgiving.

Alan

Hi Robert,

you are very kind with your comments. I appreciate it very much. Buble - that would work! if only ....

I don't know if i "own" this genre or not, but I really enjoy it, both as a composer and listener. I love the fluidity and casual feel most common in this genre. thank you again.

Wishing you and yours the very best.

Alan

G'day Graham,

Thank you so very much - I truly appreciate all those wonderful comments. As i mentioned to another commenter earlier, this is a real comfortable style for me. Even thought I'll soon be 71 years old, I've enjoyed Big Band Swing and ballads since prior to my teen years. Again, many thanks. Wishing you the very best,

Alan

Nice croonin' and swingin'!

We watched an hour of Sinatra last week. Like this song we most enjoy him when there's a swing feel to it.

Two words come to mind regarding your production: cool and classy.

You have the horns right where they need to be...can't do that if you don't know the genre. Well done.

And your vocal works the melody just like it oughta for this style.

Yep, we like!

J&B

This song is very adorable. Were you feeling inspired by anything in particular? I agree that the music does sound quite a bit like something that Sinatra might have recorded. I didn't personally notice or mind the vocal volume on the soundcloud. I'm not sure what the originals sounded like, but I thought the volume on the vocals was quite perfect. smile

Thanks for sharing!
