about
I composed this song in 2015.
There is no greater love than the love a father has for his daughter. The picture included for this track is my favorite! It shows the essence of Jade; her innocence and joy for life. For many years my wife and I owned a video production business having recorded well over 200 weddings. A tear would come to my eye every "Father-Daughter Dance." Which is why this song focuses on wanting to dance with her. This song has another 5 piece horn section and electric guitar and tenor sax solos. This is an "open" song with several brief motifs sharing the musical space but avoiding stepping on others feet. Genji's voice and harmonies are perfect.
This song has the most musicians used in a single track: 16
lyrics
Jade
“Vocal Progression”
I love to play my music “bad”
til_it_reaches_my_soul
Tappin my feet, watchin the band,
is my kinda show
Now_something happened, strange you see
nothin_to_do_with_the_band
A_little girl came_to_me
reached up and grabbed my hand
Floor Tom (one hit)
Verse 1:
Some of my days have left me to wonder
And then I think of what you’ve done to me
I like to feel these strings, in my hand
But you remind me that there’s_more than a band,
Chorus:
Hey, Hey, Hey,
[Genji & Nehal]
Hi Ho, there you go
You’ve got the time and I’ve got the dough let’s play... Please Jade
Hi Ho, there you go
You’ve got the time and I’ve got the dough let’s play...
Verse 2
I’ve_watched you grow from_a_baby, to a woman
A Pretty Lil thing, you stole my heart away
Jade_your_sweet_smile, Takes me to my past
When spending time with you was a real blast
Verse 3:
I got lost in this world’s temptations
And fighting for my life in this crazy place
But you were always there to remind me [Harmony]
That sometimes life isn’t always about a race
Chorus
Coda: Please Jade [Genji 4 part harmony]
“ Goin to dance with Jade, Goin to dance right na, na, na, na”
“Goin to dance with Jade, Goin to dance right now”
[Add Steve, Nehal, Veronica, Larry]
“Goin to dance with Jade, Goin to dance right na, na, na, na”
“Goin to dance with Jade, Goin to dance right now”
“Goin to dance with Jade, Goin to dance right na, na, na, na”
“Goin to dance with Jade, Goin to dance right” [Genji only sustained note] “NOW”
