New Song - When I Think About You

[stephenwyoung]

Hi everyone,

I just wrote this one yesterday, called When I Think About You.  Most of the instrumentation is BIAB (I played a little organ and percussion).  I hope you enjoy it.  Please let me know what you think.

Here are the lyrics...

WHEN I THINK ABOUT YOU
WORDS AND MUSIC, COPYRIGHT STEPHEN W. YOUNG

WHEN I THINK ABOUT YOU
MY HEART STARTS RACING AND IT WON'T STOP
IT FEELS SO GOOD
IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME
NOW MY HEART IS ON FIRE
IT'S HOTTER THAN A SUMMER TIME BLACKTOP
I KEEP THINKING 'BOUT YOU
YOU'RE ALWAYS ON MY MIND

AND WHEN I THINK ABOUT YOU
I CAN'T HELP IT
'CAUSE EVERYTHING YOU DO
JUST MAKES ME WANT TO THINK ABOUT YOU

WHEN I THINK ABOUT ALL
THE THINGS WE'VE DONE TOGETHER
WHEN I THINK ABOUT ALL
THE GOOD TIMES WE HAVE SEEN
I REMEMBER THE DAY
WE SAID THIS IS FOREVER
I REMEMBER THE DAY
I KNEW THAT YOU WERE MINE

AND WHEN I THINK ABOUT YOU
I CAN'T HELP IT
'CAUSE EVERYTHING YOU DO
JUST MAKES ME WANT TO THINK ABOUT YOU

Okay guys, somebody else needs to post a new one on here.  I don't want to be lonely.

Hope you all have a great day!

Hey, this rocks !

For a moment I thought Dire Straits was back. Guess this is a great complement !

Moon

Agree with the Dire Straits comparison

Great bright and happy song.

P.S.
I happen to know there are some more new tunes in the pipeline

Hey Steve ...

Brilliant song, again.

this could be the one to start that experiment 

If you are up for it

You send me vocal/organ/drums ... let me do the rest ... just for fun 

How's about it?

(we like to do things like this around here)

Azell, thank you so much!

Hi Moon.  A great compliment, indeed!  I loved Dire Straits!  Thanks so much!

Folderol, thanks very much for your time and comments!

James, thanks again!  I would love to see what you can do with it.  How would you want the vocal/organ/drums?  In one stereo mix? Or in separate wav files for each part?  Never done this like this before.

Thanks again, and hope you are all having a great day!

Awesome track, yet again. You've got a really great voice! Only thing I would remark is that the reverb on the vocals doesn't gel with the rest of the track. Could you try one with less reverb and maybe a plate style reverb? I really like your arrangement and the vocal harmonies, top notch!

[stephenwyoung]

Hi Marc,

Thanks so much for taking the time to listen and comment!  I truly do appreciate your thoughts.  I'm pretty satisfied with the reverb on my voice, but I will play around with your suggestion and see if it makes a positive change.  (Not saying you're wrong, or I'm right.)  But who knows, I may follow your suggestion, and wonder why I didn't hear it that way at first!   I also need to listen on several more systems.  You may be hearing something that I haven't heard yet.

Again, your thoughts are valuable to me!

Steve
