      Thanks man :) I think I'm gonna slowly introduce more and more Jazz harmony where appropriate, because that's the kinda stuff I'm into and studying more now :)

    The club isn't the best place to find a lover
    So the bar is where I go
    Me and my friends at the table doing shots
    Drinking faster and then we talk slow
    Come over and start up a conversation with just me
    And trust me I'll give it a chance now
    Take my hand, stop
    Put Van The Man on the jukebox
    And then we start to dance
    And now I'm singing like
    Girl, you know I want your love
    Your love was handmade for somebody like me
    Come on now, follow my lead
    I may be crazy, don't mind me
    Say, boy, let's not talk too much
    Grab on my waist and put that body on me
    Come on now, follow my lead
    Come, come on now, follow my lead
    I'm in love with the shape of you
    We push and pull like a magnet do
    Although my heart is falling too
    I'm in love with your body
    And last night you were in my room
    And now my bedsheets smell like you
    Every day discovering something brand new
    I'm in love with your body
    Oh I oh I oh I oh I
    I'm in love with your body
    Oh I oh I oh I oh I
    I'm in love with your body
    Oh I oh I oh I oh I
    I'm in love with your body
    Every day discovering something brand new
    I'm in love with the shape of you
    One week in we let the story begin
    We're going out on our first date
    You and me are thrifty
    So go all you can eat
    Fill up your bag and I fill up a plate
    We talk for hours and hours about the sweet and the sour
    And how your family is doing okay
    Leave and get in a taxi, then kiss in the backseat
    Tell the driver make the radio play
    And I'm singing like
    Girl, you know I want your love
    Your love was handmade for somebody like me
    Come on now, follow my lead
    I may be crazy, don't mind me
    Say, boy, let's not talk too much
    Grab on my waist and put that body on me
    Come on now, follow my lead
    Come, come on now, follow my lead
    I'm in love with the shape of you
    We push and pull like a magnet do
    Although my heart is falling too
    I'm in love with your body
    And last night you were in my room
    And now my bedsheets smell like you
    Every day discovering something brand new
    I'm in love with your body
    Oh I oh I oh I oh I
    I'm in love with your body
    Oh I oh I oh I oh I
    I'm in love with your body
    Oh I oh I oh I oh I
    I'm in love with your body
    Every day discovering something brand new
    I'm in love with the shape of you
    Come on, be my baby, come on
    Come on, be my baby, come on
    Come on, be my baby, come on

      Andrew plays it a little lower. And a little more in his own style. I really like this one for its closeness to the original

    Great cover! I really like the subtle jazz. A quick question: How do you start making an arrangement? Do you know lots of music theory?

    • @JamesBartholomewMusic
      @JamesBartholomewMusic  7 лет назад +3

      As in how did I learn to arrange or what do I do first when I arrange a new song?

    • @oculusvisualfx2151
      @oculusvisualfx2151 7 лет назад +2

      James Bartholomew Thanks for the quick reply!
      How you arrange a new song. But the first question would also be quite interesting.

    • @JamesBartholomewMusic
      @JamesBartholomewMusic  7 лет назад +23

      Well I would say a while back I'd first work out the chords, but focusing on voice leading with respect to melody and work from there, but at this point honestly it just kinda blurs together and I kinda naturally do everything at once section by section. I tend to then go back through and refine things, like in this one I went back and changed the harmony in the choruses and things. I started arranging after working out guitar based songs by ear like old Newton Faulkner stuff, as all the tabs on the internet were wrong

    • @oculusvisualfx2151

    I just want to say I love your choice of chords; some of them are just perfectly dissonant. Any tips on how you choose these chords or where I can learn?
