Only Your Love (Stripped Down)

by Orvis

about

In July 2020, I was very adamant about getting back to recording my own compositions. I had booked a session at Studio 23 in St. Anne, Manitoba to record a song called Lovin' Vein. I had spent the day recording guide tracks for vocals, guitars, and bass. On a whim near the end of the day I had recording engineer Jody Hunter queue up a new Pro Tools session and I laid down an acoustic guitar track (you can hear me humming to keep my spot in the song in the background!) Next, I laid down a vocal track, and then the guitar solo. Each in one take, one after the other. The result, I feel, is a very inspired performance of one of my all-time favorite songs of mine. I initially wrote Only Your Love with a superb Jazz guitar solo that was cut short in the pop-inspired 2015 recording with Dale Penner. Here, my original-written solo is in full, tasteful form. Enjoy!

lyrics

Well, I was waiting for my love to come along
On and on, until you walked by
Then everything was right, and everything was fine
'Cause you're mine

And I thought I'd never fall so hard
That I'm loving everything you are
But so far

Well, only your love will sooth my heart, it's true
So goodbye to my blues, baby
I'm in love with you

I started thinking about the man I used to be
I wasn't me until I found you
Now I'm no longer blue and life is so much more
'Cause I'm yours

And all of my heartache's in the past
And I thought I'd never fall so fast
But at last
At last

Well, only your love will sooth my heart, it's true
So goodbye to my blues, baby
I'm in love with you
Well, I'm in love with you

And I thought I'd never fall so hard
That I'm loving everything you are
But so far
So far

Well, only your love will sooth my heart, it's true
So goodbye to my blues, baby
I'm in love with you

Well, only your love will sooth my heart, it's true
So goodbye to my blues, baby
I'm in love with you
Well, I'm in love with you
Well, I'm in love with you
Well, I'm in love with you
Well, I'm in love with you
