I remember faling for you

Post by carr » Fri Oct 26, 2007 12:36 pm

This version is more in keeping with the way it was originally written . More a wistful retro romance than the other versions that emphasised the twist in the taleIt isnt a song per se.. It was an experiment in writing something from a different era and in a different style/genre.Its more like a melodic conversation to ones self,reminiscing ...or a song interspersed with spoken asides.Its a kinda 1940's Fred Astaire kind of thing.Part of an Idea I had for a movie outlineVersion 4 © Phil Marshall/John Westwood http://www.songramp.com/mod/mps/viewtra ... id=60070v1 sung I remember falling for you The breath you took awayThe pounding of my heart beat The “What happens if we meet?What if she looks my way?"Aside ..spokenI thought to myself ....... What would I sayIf she comes my way ...Will she feel it too?v2 sungI remember the toss of your headAnd the first words you ever said to me............The cute tilt of your chin, that funny little grinwhen you said....(Spoken with a chuckle )your name was Fredch SungI remember falling for you The breath you took away Aint it funny how the yearscant take that awayv Sung I remember how my hand shook when you said you’d like to danceI recall the taste of your lips When we started our romance(almost whispered with , maybe, a choke)Frederica was your name

Hey, I think I commented on a previous version of this (A girl named Fred?) I think you should hold/stop the guitar at the end of the first verse on "What if she looks my way?" I think it would add a little more tension to the phrase and the spoken part just after.Again, it put a smile on my face... Geo

I could also see Sting doing something like this, but I do get the old Fred Astaire vibe to. It's a nice song. I think it would be worth recording professionally.
