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:
Lyrics by RG PaddlerLyrics: 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 Hardware:
