Love Song

First Take Friday - Episode #2
Love Song
Written by Jonathan Brader

Tale of the Tune:
I wrote this song for my wife back in July. We actually danced to this at our wedding and that is the reason that I wrote it.  My friend and groomsman, Tony Esterly, wrote a song for his first dance with his wife 10-ish years ago and I wanted to do the same for my lady (thanks for the inspiration, Tony!).

This tune basically tells the story of how we met. It was love at first sight for me. When I wrote it I was in my basement and I was trying to keep it a surprise, but she was living with me and I couldn't keep it a secret if I wanted it to be finished by the time we got married, so I had to let the cat out of the bag. It was a hit at the wedding and with my wife. We danced the night away.

As you can see I messed up the guitar part a bit. Recording in one take is, unfortunately, the only way I can do these because I'm so busy with life, so please forgive the errors. It will be perfect for the studio album. I promise. Thank you for reading this!
