All The Way
https://www.reverbnation.com/kaynemusic/song/34551329-all-the-wayMy wife is into Sade' so I wrote this one for her. Natalie on lead with Solaria harmony with Sheena vamping at the end. ENJOY! Comments Welcome I ended up not using BIAB drum styles at all, I used audio loops, and EZ Drummer for a better feel. The horns parts and strings are all Midi played by me on a DS Juno in Halion Sonic 7 & Cubase 13 for mix and master with Waves, and Cubase Native VST plugins. ****** Song Summary ************* Title: ALL THE WAYBEST File:ALL THE WAYBEST.SGU Key=Gm , Tempo 125, Length (m:s)=5:26 No intro. 167 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 167. Repeat x1 chorus Melody has 1241 notes, Melody harmony is < no harmony >(0) Soloist track has 2505 notes, Soloist harmony is < no harmony >(0) Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0, Style is _LOCALE.STY (Locale Modern Bossa Nova) RealTracks in song: 521:Bass, Electric, Pop Syncopated Ev 136 RealTracks in style: ~~925:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Bossa Ev 110 RealTracks in song: ~~2190:Piano, Electric, Rhythm Bossa Ev 140 RealTracks in song: 1213:Guitar, Acoustic, Soloist GypsyJazzBalladJohn Sw 110 RealTracks in song: 3238:Guitar, Nylon, Rhythm BossaBrazilRamon Ev 140 RealTracks in song: ~2495:Piano, Electric, HeldChords 120 MIDI Drums :1 Standard Drum Kit (1) ******************* If you so desire I will put my trust in you To set my soul on fire To show me such a sweet taboo I know that I could love you Take the time to see it through You're loving takes me higher Take me where we are going to You know that I can love you not for a minute or a day If I'm going to love you it's All the way Beyond imagination More than I could ever dream It’s not infatuation you’re in my every plan and schemes There's Truth and consequences When you treat me honestly And give in to all desires we dismiss all modesty Just look I my direction And take me heart away A spy and complications All the way

Elliot...great groove and percussion in this one...lyrically so well written and melodically a perfect match to the style...but it's the work with the girls that slays me...as a user of Synth V voices (crudely I might add) you have them singing this sophisticated melody with such cool nuances...when Natalie sings "fire" as "fy-yer" its these subtle touches that humanize her vocal and you have done this with each singer and their parts...I am more than impressed...so well done!

Elliot, fabulous tune, and it sounds GREAT. Love how that bass anchors the whole arrangement, and how the arrangement supports the song so perfectly. That ending really is really spectacular. Well done!

Me and my wife love Sade as well, and you did a pretty good job writing in her style. Very good

Excellent song again, with a really great rhythm section!

Elliott, love that groove! Outstanding lyrics and synth vocals. Super arrangement, sounds great. Loved that bass track. Outstanding work.
Yeah, I've got O.C.D, Old, Cranky, and Dangerous.

Hi Elliott,
I really enjoyed your song. Good tune and tight lyrics which allow the vocalist to shine. Terrific backing tracks.
My only suggestion is you may wish to have a look at the lead vocalist's sibilance. Can be easily edited in your DAW.
Top song - top marks!
Best Regards Nigel

Hello Elliott,
What a super song! Great production in all respects. Di and I love Brazilian Jazz. Love that almost hidden touch of Gypsy Jazz on the rhythm guitar. Excellent work with the synth voices.
We are also big fans of Sade, and I wrote a song for Di to sing 7 or 8 years ago called "Mystery Man." And she scorched it—burned it to the ground. Great job all around. That was a terrific listen - thanks!

Very cool Eliott. Loved the whole production. That bass and when the horns came in really caught my ears. It's a long song, but I sure loved the music all the way through.

Although we are not familiar with Sade’s music, this was very enjoyable. The band is excellent and the synth vocalists shine here. Great job with the humanizing subtleties.
The mix is really standout. It set up a great soundstage via the Kali monitors. Every track has its place and they all work together w/o stepping on one another.
We enjoyed the great groove and appreciate the effort that went into it!

Ha. I heard this, but apparently didn't push that Post Reply button when done. I came back to see who the bassist was. Another listen, and I'll repeat this is an outstanding composition, Elliott. Your production skills are so good. You fill this with so much interesting instruments and do an outstanding job with the horns and strings. Very tasteful.
