There are a couple lines here that I would have written a bit differently - but it is for a specific person  Sometime I might do a better version with a pianist who knows what he/she is doing. For now, just sharing.... If you have any thoughts on a possible arrangement, I'd love to hear them. I'd Do It Twice is here: I'll stick the lyric below. Thanks! Scott I'd Do It Twice (C) 2011 by S.W. Campbell Those little rooms never had no heat Too cold at night for the mice to sleep Good thing for us dreams were cheap And laughter came for free I never thought we were missing much A best friend with a lover’s touch Seemed more than enough to me So every time you questioned If I might regret the ride Well I never had but one reply If I could do it all again… I’d do it twice Now in the living room of that couple’s dream I see a woman of independent means Her eyes shine with levity Joy and empathy You feel my gaze, bat your eyes and blush And for the millionth time, I feel that first-time rush That’s always been more than enough for me And every time you question If I might regret the ride Well I never have but one reply If I could do it all again… I’d do it twice Well if there’re two things of which I’m sure When I think back through our run I adore the girl that you once were And the woman you’ve become So every time you’ll question If I might regret the ride I’ll never have but one reply If I could do it all again… I’d do it twice If I could do it all again… I’d do it twice

Hey Scott. Nice tune as usual. I like the mood it sets which goes great with the lyric. Sounds like it might be just a touch out of your range but you held out and made it work. Nice voice control. Your piano playing is a lot better than mine if that's any consolation. Wait...Stike that. My piano playing is almost non existant.lol Seriously, it's a really pretty song.

Scott,
I love this, what a sweet lyric!!
I think that chorus is a bit high for you, I sang lower harmony with you and I think if you do a low harmony in there with yourself....it will smooth out how far you are reaching (take the focus off of it), but I think that lift in the chorus is needed and sounds good....
Overall, this is a very nice song!!!

Hey Scott...
Nice write...Not sure on an arrangement as it may depend on who it's for. Sounds like it might be an anniversary song.

it's a very good song, and you're not too bad at piano ;-) the way it start remember me of the great tom waits. Maybe taking inspiration from things I recall (randy newman's 'Marie' could also be a good hint) I would suggest you strings starting from the half. but the risk is to be romantic-sad, while this story is romantic-fine, if I well undestood !

Scott,
I like it. I am sure she likes it too.
As far as arrangement goes, I hear long drawn out bass notes and a string section coming in on the first note of the second verse. Maybe drums coming in on the second chorus. A fiddle on the bridge (think Eleanor Rigby tones), and maybe solo piano to the end. I don't really think harmony vocals would work with the lyrical theme.

Stevie Thanks Stevie  I recorded it originally a step lower. Chorus sounded better but the verse was too low. Turns out I don't have much of a vocal range!  Glad it was pretty  Scott

Tammy Thanks Tammy! See my response to Stevie right above in regard to what happened with the choice of key. LOL  Maybe I should do it in the original key but wait until I have a cold to do the verses.  I love doing harmony but not sure I think it fits here - I think I want it to have a one guy singing feel. Maybe a different guy though  Scott

Thanks Calvin. Ordinarily I wouldn't have written something like "I adore the girl that you once were". But she was only 17 when we started dating  Scott

This is a GOOD song my friend! I would stay sparse and add a smoky baritone sax just a certain points to embellish only. Maybe a nice subtle hall verb on the master bus. You know I understand what is said about the chorus - but I actually like it. It sounds like you really mean it man! Pop that on a CD and I am buyin!  In fact if you have another go make your voice more gravelly and coarse - But then again it is so good you need do nothin at all mate!

This is one Randy Newman wishes he had written! I think it is mighty fine and you could do a bunch of different arrangements for this and they would all sound great. Nice writing as usual.

I'd rather you reach for notes in a chorus that lifts rather than in a chorus that doesn't move the song. Nice chording Scott--lovely use (and not overuse) of major/minor.
Vocally this would kill with better phrasing, fleshing out the verse lines and not having those pauses.
Nice work.

Thanks Buddy - good to see you, as always  I love the idea of a sax in there! Don't think I can work any gravel into the vocal though and still hit the higher notes. Thanks for the suggestions, Eliot - I'm glad you liked it. Scott

Zeek Hey Zeek: I will probably give the vocal another go - I've only sung it a few times. Was under a deadline  Yeah, the phrasing can really be improved - I was fighting with myself while singing some of those line.  Appreciate the comments - and nudge  Scott

Hey Scott...
Been away for a long while but think I'm back fairly regularly now...sure hope so!
Wow, what a lovely piece...gorgeous! You may not be a Johnny Daubert on keys, but you ain't too shabby, either.
Arrangement...Piano only on Intro & first half of first verse...finish first verse with holding bass notes. In the chorus, bring in drums and fairly strong strings. In the remainuing verses, keep all instruments aforementioned, backing off on the strings a bit but adding mild distortion on electric guitar for fill. Power last chorus with everything, as long as it doesn't cover the vox. Then take the outro back to piano only.
My ideas, for what they are worth, KOS. This is a great song with power and passion. Loved it! All the best, my friend! Greetings to Gwen...
Alan

Great tune, Scott. I like it the way it is, but a cello would sound cool with that piano in places. This new song of yours has unlimited possibilities. Great job on the vocals, too. I agree with Mackie, it could be a show tune!

Alan Hey Al! LOL - yeah, I can hear Johnny playing this in my head - but I'll never be able to make my hands do what his can.  Thanks so much for the detailed suggestions - I played through it in my head bringing the instruments you suggested in when you suggested they come in. Yeah, I think that works nicely.  It's our 30th in a year - maybe I'll do it up right for the occasion. Thanks Pal! Scott

I agree with Mackie, it could be a show tune! Hi Kevin: Yeah, I think the arrangement could go any number of ways on this. Which is probably why I can't pin it down  Cello is an interesting idea - it does fit well with a piano. Maybe it's time to start experimenting with the suggestions I'm getting here. Thanks for listening and the suggestion. Might go back to recording it a step lower - the chorus will probably sound a little better that way. Good to see you back with one! Scott

Hey Scott... where would a guy find a cello in these parts. One of my favorite instruments! Hey Kevin: Sub (Mike Caro) has used a cellist several times I believe. Maybe you could pm him... Other folks here might not have a cello but may have samples that sound realistic. Not sure what to suggest - maybe start a thread in one of the forums... Scott

WOW! Sad & Beautiful always Mists-Me-Up...GREAT JOB, Amigo!
Your Fabulous Hook's what brought me in..& as-always, You Delivered BIGTIME! Definitely one CLASSIC Tribute Song,in the making. (I'm with Cal on that Great Pair of Couplets..& LOTS of other lines here are Real Special, too.)
& that Twinkle in Your Eye..whenever that Hook arrives...ya can see it like a Laser Beam...shining through!
Good Luck with a Great Song..& your Specific Person, too!
Best Wishes & a Big Guy-Hug, Stan Thanks Pal  Very cool that some of that stuff came through - I don't think of myself as one who can get emotion across with a vocal - so it felt good to read that  Scott

Hi Scott, This is a lovely song. What a great hook, I’m jealous of that. I can’t help with the arrangement I can only say that it’s a beautiful song and whomever it was written for I’m sure will love it!  Dottie Ha - I've been saying that hook to my wife now for about 30 years. I'm a little surprised that it didn't occur to me before now to stick it in a song.  Thanks Dottie! Scott

Yep, double or nothing, sometimes once around is just not enough, when your lady is a carousel and you are dizzy with love. grab the brass ring and give it another go...it's all good.~~~~MFB III Thanks MFB  It appears to be your birthday today - hope you have a good one! Scott
