Anticipating (Pop Version) by Listen Loud - Demos published on 2021-03-09T14:59:08Z Anticipating was written by Joel and Hector around 2002. This version was remastered in March of 2021 at Listen Loud Studios. The song is in 4/4 time, at a moderate tempo of 75 bpm, in the key of Bb major (g minor), with a key raise to C major (a minor). It is an organic pop rock production, with electric and acoustic guitars and a powerful harmonic chorus. It features a key raise after the bridge for energy and contrast. Songwriter's notes: "Hector and I put this demo together pretty quickly back in 2002. I had been playing with this G-G6-G7 suspension and liked how long I could play it before resolving, and the idea of 'Anticipating' was born. In the original demo this was an upbeat rock song, but we transformed it into a power ballad a few months later. Quite a few artists recorded this track, but Roxanne's version is my favorite. Her vocals really shine in this cut. --Joel" Producers: Joel & Hector Music & Lyrics: Joel & Hector Vocals: Roxanne Piano & Synth: Joel Guitar, Drums, Bass: Hector Collaboration with Hector: soundcloud.com/gnxproduction/ LYRICS You don’t know a thing about my love, It’s dark And I don’t know to listen to my head, or to my heart I want to belong with you Livin’ in this world for two I’m in love, It starts Baby no one else will ever do But you keep me waiting And when I’m all alone I think of you Anticipating… And baby I don’t know what I should do Yeah I’m still waiting… Anticipating I don’t give a damn about what’s wrong, or right All I really care about is you and me, and I… I want to be lovin’ you I can tell you want me too I’m in love, In love… oh Baby no one else will ever do But you keep me waiting And when I’m all alone I think of you Anticipating… And baby I don’t know what I should do Yeah I’m still waiting… Anticipating I feel it when I breathe I feel it when you stare Those great big eyes don’t lie (No those eyes don’t lie) And you’re the one for me You know I can’t deny… Baby no one else will ever do But you keep me waiting And when I’m all alone I think of you Anticipating… And baby I don’t know what I should do Yeah I’m still waiting… Anticipating PROGRESSION VERSE: vi IV I iii (x3) IV V CHORUS: I IV vi IV (x3) V V6 V7 BRIDGE: ii IV I V ii IV V V6 V7 180 Publishing © 2021.
