YOU (HDA/BILLY)

[McLovin]

A song I wrote for my wife a few years back,.. and brought to life with the help of the incredible Billy Playle.  Hope you enjoy!

V1

Wake up blue eyes, its 7:30
Time to take the breath that starts your day
And tell the little girls, please would you hurry
Cuz after schooling there'll be time for play
Though she wants them to stay

CH

She gives them all they need
She loves so hard she'll bleed
She looks to good to be true
Sweet beautiful selfless you

V2

Phone rings, she knows whos callin
Been only hours since he's been gone
"Please tell the little girls daddy loves them,
And a day away from you is far to long
but soon I'll be home"

Nice tune Jay! Love the horns and funky guitar work

[Mr. Mom]

Amazing for a "2-Man Band" - but then when you look at who the 2 men are, you start to expect this kind of quality!

Nice work Jay and Billy!

Wow! Jay, you really dressed this up nicely. I love your vocals and the mix is bang on. I love that ragtime piano ending.....you geezer!! 

Thanks for letting me in on your song. Thanks for the comments guys, I'm sure there's some more songs in the locker.

[McLovin]

Thanks a bunch Paulo, Nitch and Paul.

Billy,... I have had this song sitting around for a while and I was going to post in studio A but ultimately I knew that you were the absolute perfect fit for this.  I always expect exceptional work from you and you always exceed my expectation.  Thank you again.

Absolutely brilliant Jay and Billy!!!.

Two very talented musicians here - how could this go wrong:).

Love the bouncy syncopated arrangement - great singing and playing (love the keys and bass specially).

You guys must be the next Steely Dan?
