Technical Stuff:
Yes I Do.MGU
BLANK2s.STY
Added RealTrack: 522:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 120

I conceived the song to be duet, but my singing partner never showed
so I changed some "Is & Mes" and rewrote it for a solo performance.
Hope you enjoy it.

Lyrics
Yes I Do © Jim Hughes

Do I love you Yes I do
I really love you Yes I do
There's never been a day I don't count the ways
That I love you
Do I need you Yes I do
I really need you Yes I do
There's never been a day I don't count the ways
That I love you
When I look at you hon
I am sure I found the one
And when you look at me
I know you're all I'll ever need
Do I want you Yes I do
I really want you Yes I do
There's never been a day I don't count the ways
That I love you


Jim

Jim,

A really nice "simple love song".

Well sung, well mixed.

Sounds like something The Everly Brothers might have done.

Nice.

Cool tune. I got an Everly Bros vibe on the is song. Super vocal song and backtrack. would have been nice to hear your singing partner as well on the song.

Hello Jim,

that's exactly what we (or should I say: our darlings?) need once in a while: a lovely and soulful love song. very nice melody, well-arranged and as allways sung with a lot of feeling. Enjoyed it a lot.

Hello, Jim...

The lyrics of your song, "Yes, I Do", are as simple and as lovingly expressive as a lullaby. Your Real Style and additional RealTrack choices create a sound that is as gentle as a baby's heartbeart, that is open and honest in feeling, and as warm as a hug. This is all sweetness, all of it, the kind of thing you would sing straight into someone's bashful, but loving face.

I think this is the first song I'd heard from you. I hope it won't be the last.

Sincerely,

LOREN

Thanks, Scott... The "singing partner" may have gotten cold feet when she heard my recording booth was a shower wink.

Really well done! Love your vocal performance on this. Really strong, and a lot of sincerity behind it. The hook is nicely catchy too, and that groove had my foot tapping right away. Someone else mentioned a feeling akin to the Everly Brothers, and I actually think that's a decent comparison.

You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing smile
