When I Will Sing To You
Words & Music by
James Saad
 
Sadly
Hopeless
I'm hopeless for you.
I've much need
for your love
for your love is true.
 
How to be without you.
 
It was heaven above
that gave us a second chance -
a reason for true romance
for us.
 
Now I can't walk alone
knowin' you're in my life
leading me to the light
in love.
 
How to be without you.
How to be.
Every day I pray for
the day to come
when I will sing to you.
 
You took my trembling hand
when we walked the rising tides.
There was no place to hide
before that kiss.
 
You were towing the line.
You reached out
and touched my heart
leading me through the dark
together.
 
How to be without you.
How to be.
Every day I pray for
the day to come
when I will sing to you.
 
You were holding tight.
You took me away that night.
You took me away that night
in your passion.
You're all the reason I need
to keep us eternally
to keep us eternally
in love.
 
How to be without you.
How to be.
Every day I pray for
the day to come
when I will sing to you.
 
When I will sing to you.
 
When I will sing to you
Oh oh yeah.

Nice song Jimmy. Nice guitar, harmonica and vocals. Great sound song and a nice production to boot. Very nicely done. I liked it.
 
Peace and blessings, John

Interesting song Jimmy. 
 
TBH not my favorite of yours but the harmonies are nice.
 
Drum style feels a bit out of place (to me). Maybe just too aggressive?
 
Bass is nice and functional sounding and played.

Reminds me a little of the Eagles, Jimmy.  How it starts out just guitar, vocal and harmonies.  Once it kicks in it has the country rock feel.  Love the harmonica.

Hi Ed!  Hope all is well.  Thanks for the listen.  I followed my creativity and let it happen.  It is interesting.  Maybe kind of like a Mumphord & Sons thing.
Thanks for the comments on the bass.  I am using my micro bass and playing with compressor settings.  I think I am starting to get it.  
 
All the best.

Hi Mike!  Thanks for the listen.  I appreciate the nice comments - especially the harp!  I don't work too hard on it and sometimes I get lucky!
 
Peace brother.

Well I thought I answered on this last night but I see it didn't stick. I enjoyed it. I thought it better when it "kicked in" because it felt like the vox didn't support the song in the beginning (to me) when it kicked in with the doubling and all of the harmonies, drums, etc... It fit together "perfectly." Take no disrespect because none is meant, I give only honest opinions. On the whole, I did enjoy it. But then again? On the hole? What's not to enjoy :-)
 
It gave me an Elvis Costello vibe.

Hi Robie.  Thanks for the listen and I am happy you enjoyed it.  For the "record" (LOL), I did not double the vocals or guitars.  I had lead vocal plus two backgrounds.  On the acoustic, I used two mics.  I even recorded the tamborine live.  I have been working a long time on using less instruments overall all and then seeing how big I can make the sound. 
 
All the best,

This song reminded me of Poco, my favorite country rock band of all time.  The production and performances are solid, and the arrangement let everything be heard well.  Good job, Jimmy.
