This is a first draft demo, in the interest of sharing something before the FAWM time runs out. This is a song where its already having its rewrite, and Marieke is adding so much value to it already, but we havent had chance to rerecord it yet. so This is kind of a placeholder with the basic idea - but Marieke has done some fabulous revisions making it make a lot more sense as a conversation between two people - which as a duet is kind of important!! we will upload a new demo, but at the every least it will be changed on soundcloud if youre interested in following the progression.
All I Need - Duet
(Person 1)
Im not me without you
Im stranded on my own
I keep willing time to move faster
It don’t mean to go this slow
All I need is you to understand me
All I need is whatever love can cure
All I need
Is to be
Yours
(Person 2)
I don’t know how to trust you
I don’t know what’s in store
All I know is when I'm with you
You leave me wanting more
All I need is right here for the taking
All I need is whatever love can cure
All I need
Is to be
Yours
(Alternate Lines)
I don’t need you to change me
Well there aint no chance of that
Lets sit and talk it over
Lets leave the past in the past
(Both)
All I need is right here - SAME MELODY
All I need is in your arms - SAME MELODY?
All I need, Is to be yourssssssssssssss - HARMONY
(Person 1)
I'm not me without you
I'm nothing on my own
(Person 2)
I keep willing time to move slower
So we get some time alone

Hey, great to hear this earlier version of this great duet! I love how it evolved into more of a conversation. Kudos to you both!
@andygriff Mar 2022
Cracking song with an excellent hook. I like conversation songs, I shall look forward to the progress of this one :)

What a beautiful love song. :)
A fine lyric, and the music and vocals are wonderful.
An excellent collaboration, Celine and Marieke. :)

Wow, this sounds so good already. I like the way you play and sing together. And the way you place the words in the music. I’m intrigued by the idea of a duet where the two people are in different places in the relationship. Can’t wait to hear how this one evolves.

One of those songs you think you sort of know but don't, its just that its good. Dido comes to mind particularly though all i need! Very nice
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Amazingly good. @celineellis is always a dream singer, and @mariekevinkmusic sounds equally good. Harmonies really work and I love the lyrics. I'm getting major collab envy from this.
@jessicamoon Feb 2022
such a lovely melody! I got Melissa Etheridge feels, loved it so much! the refrain "all I need" is haunting in the best way. I love the tone of your voice along with the guitar, especially the emotional tremor at the end of some lines, just added so much.

This is going to be a corker. Love the conversational idea. Can't wait to hear some more harmonies on this. So great to hear a duet from you two :)
