Metamorphosis Birthday Series VIII - You & MePosted By IreneB from Orlando March 29, 2010This is one of my favorites from the album, as well as it is for a lot of people, a precious ballad with a brazilian feel to it... You & Me. This is the last song of the Metamorphosis Birthday Series, but I am going to write 3 more newsletters talking about my singles, since I didn´t have the chance to tell you about those. How did we come up with You & Me? It was in my second trip to Miami in 2007 (May if I'm not mistaken). Frankie told me about this song that was playing in the radio, very simple but absolutely beautiful, with an acoustic guitar and very little percussion. At that time we didn't know who was singing, but the next day we asked our very good friend and artist Rico Williams and we found out it was Robin Thicke with his infamous ¨Lost Without You¨. After listening to it I don't have to mention that I loved it, right? So we started brainstorming about creating a song like that, very simple, that would make the audience fall in love with it. A couple of days after we invited guitar player Michel Boza (aka Wahero) to record some guitars for our idea for ¨You & Me¨. After that... it was all very fast, we had the melody & lyrics ready that same week. After coming back to Barcelona, Mr. Frankie Biggz travelled to Canada to record with egipcian percussionist Diaa Tass at Little Chicago Studios, with our friend Tim Greencorn. So after all that, we had to record final vocals, and since Mr. Greencorn is amazing with microphones, preamps and so on and so forth we took a trip to Ottawa to record my final performace. Sounds pretty good, uh? I totally love it, I think it's the best performance of the album, to be honest. So there it goes, You & Me... dedicated to you... YOU & ME
(F.Lucio ,M.Boza)
How many times do I have to tell you?
What other words should I use
Just to get through to you?
Darling you’re the one I need
And I couldn’t live without you
Wouldn’t wanna face this world
Living alone again in solitude
Baby please believe it’s true
And I can’t control myself at night
When I call your phone
Would you be there my love?
Just wanna hear your voice
You gotta make the choice
Of whether you believe in everything I say to you
CHORUS
Decide right now
Because I chose you
Do you choose me?
Do you believe in you and me?
In you and me?
I wanna live this life together
Let’s build a happy home
No more sad and lonely nights
Waiting by the telephone for you to call me baby
My sweet baby
You don’t have to worry about me
I will never let you down
And I can’t control myself at night
When I hold you close
Would you be there my love?
Just wanna feel your touch
Can’t you believe our luck?
And everything that’s happening between the two of us
CHORUS
Oh, do you believe in love?
‘Cause I can’t wait to prove my love to you
Every night and day
So baby just please tell me whether you believe
In everything I say to you
Tell me right now
I just loose control when you’re inside of me
Cause you’re my everything
Just wanna hear you breath
Whenever you’re close to me
Boy I’ll do anything
Do you believe in you and me?
