Down (Jay Sean/Lil Wayne Cover)
Down (Jay Sean/Lil Wayne Co... Lyrics & Chords
This is my wife’s current favorite and it goes out to her.
Jay Sean is of Indian Origin based out of UK and this song was his break into the US market. I believe this song topped the Billboards.
This is the most complex mixing project I’ve ever undertaken. It has 18 vocal tracks (mostly harmony) in all and it was very challenging to make sure the sounds are spatially placed without bumping into each other. I think I spent roughly 6 hrs on this which is a record for me :)
I did the Rap as well which was originally done by Lil Wayne. I experimented with some effects and am very happy with the outcome.
Anyways I hope you enjoy this cover.
Lyrics:
Baby are you down? [x5]
Down, down
Even if the sky is fallin’ down
Down, down (oh)
You outta know
Tonight is the night to let it go
Put on a show (show, show)
I wanna see how you lose control
So leave it behind, cause we have a night to get away (away, away)
So come on and fly with me
As we make our great escape (escape, escape)
[Chorus:]
So baby don’t worry
You are my only
You won’t be lonely
Even if the sky is falling down
You’ll be my only
No need to worry
Baby are you down? [x5]
Down, down
Baby are you down? [x5]
Down, down
Even if the sky is falling down
Just let it be
Come on and bring your body next to me
I’ll take you away (ay)
Turn this place into our private getaway
So leave it behind, cause we have a night to get away (away, away)
So come on and fly with me
As we make our great escape
So why don’t we run away
[Chorus]
[Lil Wayne:]
Down like she’s suppose to be
She gets down all over me
Down like her temperature
Cause to me she’s zero degrees
She’s cold, over freeze
I got that girl from over seas
Now she’s my Miss America
Now can i be her soldier, please?
I’m fighting for this girl on the battlefield of love
Got me look like baby Cupid
Sending arrows from above
Don’t you ever leave the side of me
And waiting definitely, not probably
And honestly I’m down like that economy (Yeah)
[Chorus:]
So baby don’t worry
You are my only
You won’t be lonely
Even if the sky is falling down
You’ll be my only (oh)
No need to worry (oh)
Baby are you down [x5] (oh, the sky is falling down)
Down, down (oh, down)
Baby are you down [x5] (oh, the sky is falling down)
Down, down (oh, down)
Even if the sky is falling down
Oh, oh, the sky is falling down

Adi polli. Great job on mixing. This song is one of my recent favorite. You have given your own touch to this one. I like that there are lot of things going on this song. In terms of harmonies i wish it could have gone little back
5/5.

hey bud! great job as usual… I am going to be a bit critical…it sounded very close to the original… but it will be great if you change it around a little bit, and make it “your own” as Simon Cowell would say. ;) :)
Satish Vammi said
Just amazing singing and presentation of the whole package….loved it!
hmm….harmonies spacing is not quite there yet….may have to play with EQ as well as pan i guess……not sure

Thank you all for listening and your feedback. Satish – Initially i thought the levels on harmonies was too high. So I adjusted and spaced it out wider. I like how its sounding now.
