Would love your thoughts on my newest creation. Was trying to do a smooth soulful/jazzy throwback to the 70's. I had Wake Up Everybody by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes on my mind when I wrote it. One of my all time faves. This song wasn't meant to sound like that tune, but the feel of it was the inspiration. I'M NOT GIVIN' UP ON LOVEBy David S. Becker (c)2018 David S. Becker Music https://soundcloud.com/gocartmoz/im-not-giving-up-on-loveINTRO VERSE 1
Everytime I see your face babe It blows my mind You drive me crazy When you say your mine CHORUSI'm not givin' up on love I'm not givin' up on love You can tell all your friends Sing to the heavens above I'm not givin' up on love I'm not givin' up on love VERSE 2I see all those tears at Parkland And Santa Fe They can stop a heart from beating But they can't take love away CHORUSSOLOBRIDGEYou and me babe We can change the world And watch the fever grow I know this cancer's spreading far and wide Just wait 'til our love takes hold CHORUSVERSE 3You can take a mother from her baby Because she's not like you But you can't break those bonds of love No matter what you do CHORUSOUTRONo I'm not givin' up on love

Dave,
Love the opening with the soft piano leading to the sax—wonderfully done. Overall, a well-produced tune; very pleasing to the ear. Definitely a late 70s, early 80s throwback sound. Agree with Travis on the use of “cancer” in a lyric; a sin I’m guilty of myself—easy to switch that out, I think, without losing much Really, love what you got out of that sax—and if this is BIAB, man, you’ve done much more with it than I’ve been able to so far. Very impressive.
Enjoyed this a lot, Dave. If I had one comment it would be that the chorus is very personal (“I’m not giving up”), as is the first verse, thought verse 2 and 3 are less so. Still works for me, but something to think about.
BTW, as I was typing this up, your cover of “To Know Her Is to Love Her” came one. Very, very slick. Great job on that one!
All the best,
Deej

@deejay... thx for the comments and listen 1. Though I appreciate the comments that is not my cover of “To know her is to love her.”  I'm not sure I am even familiar with th tune. Someone else thanks you though! 2. Very new user to BIAB. I have used some BIAB files on my last two tunes, but this is my first attempt at a fully produced BIAB song. I like what I have seen thus far, though it is a very different thing for me and takes some getting used to. Thx for the comments. Dave

Dave, Wow, sorry about that—normally Soundcloud keeps you on the same artist, and I didn’t even look, particularly because the vocalist sounded very similar to you. Anyways, it was a nice cover, which I’m certain if you were to cover it, you’d outshine.  Regards, Deej
