Not N2 U

I Couldn’t Love You More
Key of A Major
BPM 120
Genre – Downtempo Electronica

I wanted to touch on something different, that hadn’t been explored in class.  I chose to do an electronica song, mainly because this style contains so many sub-genres, that I felt my song would somehow fit into one of them.

Drums – The drum pattern I chose is known commonly as “4 on the floor”  I believe we covered this when we touched on the Disco genre.  The kick plays every beat, snare on 2 and 4, hi-hats play a 16th note patern, with the open hats creating a “shoop” on 2 and 4.  Because the basic drum is disco based, I added some percussion to give the song a slight disco feel.

Bass – The same synth bass pattern was used through out the song, in keeping with the disco groove.  In this genre, electronic instruments are normally used through out the song, with occasional electric guitar, electric bass, organ, and Rhodes piano added.

Pads and Keyboards – I used a synth pad, and Rhodes piano for the keyboard sounds.

Vocals – The vocal is done by vocoder!  For those unfamiliar with this device, a vocoder takes a sound from the carrier, usually a synth or guitar, and uses a vocal sound to modulate the carrier.  This results in the electronic sounding vocals, sometimes known as a “Robotic” vocal.

Lyrics :

I Couldn't Love You More

Verse 1
You are my dream, the one I can't do without

Sometimes it seems, you’re all I think about

When I am down, you always pick me up

When I am low, you always fill my cup

Chorus
I couldn't love you more

I couldn't love you more 

Verse 2
my heart always, wants you close to me

When I'm away, too long its agony

Each morning I, look into your eyes

It feels like i'm, like I’m in Paradise

Chorus

Outro

You are my dream
