Description
Meant to Be is a beautiful and touching song written and performed and previously posted by Paddler (MJ36581). I thought that as lovely as it was, the sonic feel was towards the top end of the spectrum and that the addition of some low end weight would help balance the balalaika and guitar. I had in mind an upright bass playing very simple patterns which I thought would honour the integrity of the acoustic treatment of the original and still let the main focus remain on Richard's fine vocals. After a test jamming along with the posted song, I approached RIchard and asked if he minded if I had a go in adding a bass track. He very kindly agreed and after hearing the results suggested I post the collaboration, and also suggested posting it as an open collab which I agree is a great idea. Hope you enjoy the result, and thanks again Richard!

Lyrics by RG Paddler
Lyrics:
Do you remember it was early spring,
Outside the window a bird was singing
you were in the garden with the children playing
We woke up early with the rising sun
We had our problems we had our fun
Driving through the country we were always laughing
And the days still seem long
And whatever comes your way its meant to be
Do you remember the evening breeze,
Blowing gently through the pine trees
You were painting pictures of a clear horizon
We played music in the firelight
The comets fell that starry night
Everything seemed simple pure and bright
well the days still seem long
And whatever may go wrong its meant to be
Well I remember how I broke your heart
We'd always known right from the start
that someday we'd be sure to say goodbye
Wherever you may choose to go
I wish you well and I hope you know
In the time we had together we loved a lifetime
Lyrics:

And whatever comes your way its meant to be
Do you remember the evening breeze,

You were painting pictures of a clear horizon

The comets fell that starry night
Everything seemed simple pure and bright

Wherever you may choose to go
I wish you well and I hope you know
In the time we had together we loved a lifetime
Feter
it grem ..and when ever its flourish
it ll shine more and more ...I m enjoyin
the whole music here the upright bass
gave it such depth reminds me of those
days of PP&M ..KUDOS !!
