Everything You Are-Original

[Johnbee]

My first for 2022 and another love ballad.  An early Valentine card for my wife.

  John B

Never will it ever be more than it is right now.
(It's only for you)
And never will it climb to the top of somebody's playlist.
(It means so much more).
My inspiration is everything you are
My love is more than words & music could ever properly tell such a story

Melodies of love are not easy to bring about
(They might be obscure)
And words must come straight from the heart.
They must be right and true.
(You can't be unsure)
Capture the feeling that makes your spirit sing
All the love within you is everything I want and everything I need

So full of emotion (I can't deny)
I'm lost in a frenzy (You must know why)
Constantly in my heart. Never off my mind
Beaming inspiration all the time.

It cannot be measured (Love overflows)
A source of such treasure. It only can grow
There is no denying you fulfill my life
Here to see me through the joy and strife.

Lovely love song, John and great arranging/production. Heaven only knows how you create those great melodies and chord structures. The ending was a bit sudden maybe but that is just being picky. Great work and a great listen.

gorgeous work again John.  The lyrics are stellar.  This time the singing really reminds me of the style of the great Carol King and to a lesser extent Carly Simon.  Your musical bed is wonderful as per usual.  Lots of interesting twists and turns.  It's like a little river flowing along, or maybe a mountain stream.  Joyfully playing along as the water flows, over and under, around, bubbling and foaming it's perpetual joy.  Great song John.  It's nice you can express your love this way.

It's always a joy to hear a new song from Johnbee. Such a classy performer and a songwriter. This kind of songwriting is way above my reach, but i can still enjoy the beauty of such music from a far I'm probably writing these exact same comments on all of your songs, but they ring true!
I like the way your songs are harmonically rich and complex, but you're able to make them so that they're easy to approach. The instrumentation is beautiful and the whole song is melodically rich. I didn't think the ending was abrupt. Instead i felt the song managed to achieve a lot in the classic single lenght and come a full circle in the end.

Zoltan, SE, Steven & Ray-
Thanks all so much!

Excellent work yet again John! This song feels really unique in that it almost feels like it flows through different moods rather than a verse/chorus structure. It's so dense yet concise and so personal yet very outreaching. Another brilliant track!

[Mike_S]

It's another super track John, you have penned a great lyric here, those words are really powerful. But the whole thing has a real depth of emotion. Beautiful.

I love your adventuresome melodies along with how this song builds. Those string stabs are wonderful. Great job.
