Story Behind The Song

Inspired by a wedding I went to, the DO YOU hook is taken from the ceremony. Originally, the song was all about the wedding, but it seemed too direct and lacked a sense of soul. I reworked it and found I was able to create a really soulful piece about relationships. All the music is played by myself - LIVE. I play the drums, bass and everything else without using any drum machines etc - which I think is quite cool really. Being able to play the lot myself enables me to get the song sounding exactly as I want it. Selfish in a way, but it means I can get exactly the feel I want.

Song Description

A poignant song of falling in love. Asking the question,'Do you love me like I love you.' Craig David's style of slightly anxious but very r&b rhythm really seemed to fit the song lysrics.

Lyrics

Chorus:-
Do, do you, do you want to make this work now
Do you want to take a chance on me - (hey baby)

Do, do you, do you think there's something special
Something, we have never known before - (hey baby)

Verse 1
Since we met in that old bar
And we stayed out late in my) car
I knew that we were meant to be together
And then two weeks later on
When we were dancing to that song
It felt like we'd keep dancing till forever.


Verse 2
There's been moments just like this
When I'm longing for your kiss
And I know this comes just once in every lifetime
I so wanna be with you
And baby what more can I do
Only say I love you and ask you will you be mine

M8
Say, you do, say you want me there beside you
I'll be on my way you know I will
Say, you feel, what I feel when we're together,
Well I can't believe you're here with me still

Verse 3
That's why I asked you on this date
So I could put it to you straight
And let you think about it and take time to decide
I don't want to push you now
And I guess you're wondering how
You can answer me, will you stay at my side?
