You Needed Me - Neha and Sai K Duet (Cover)

You Needed Me - Neha and Sa... Lyrics & Chords

Re-Uploaded with minor changes
-———————————————

“You Needed Me” is undoubtedly one of the most famous singles of all times. It was originally sung by Canadian singer Anne Murray in the year 1978, when it took the US charts by storm.

This song has been covered by a lot of artistes thereafter, like Kenny Rogers and Dottie West (duet cover – 1979), BoyZone (1999) and again Anne Murray and Shania Twain (duet cover – 2007).

I was long due to do a duet with one of my favorite voices on Muziboo.
Sai , thanks a ton for lending your golden voice to this song :)
And a big thanks to Bodhi for the super mix, and for adding life to it!!

Have tried a few improvisations which make this sound different from the original. Hope you all like the effort…!

LYRICS:
I cried a tear
You wiped it dry
I was confused
You cleared my mind
I sold my soul
You bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me.

Chorus
You gave me strength

To stand alone again
To face the world
Out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me
You needed me

And I can’t believe it’s you I can’t believe it’s true
I needed you and you were there
And I’ll never leave, why should I leave
I’d be a fool
‘Cause I’ve finally found someone who really cares

You held my hand
When it was cold
When I was lost
You took me home
You gave me hope
When I was at the end
And turned my lies
Back into truth again
You even called me friend

Repeat Chorus

You needed me
You needed me

Very good effort.
Sai-You’ve got a magical voice and have put lot of life in this number.
Neha-You are one of the best on Muziboo specially when it comes to western numbers. This one is no exception. Could see bit of creativity, which is good.
Keep it up.
You take all 5 from me.

HI TO THE 2 OF YOUAND GOD BLESS

I AGREE with the above…i think on some parts
sai perhaps you could have sung in a higher
tone of voice…to match NEHA ? I DO KNOW
that you only have a c ertain range of voice
sai. from your e mail.s .but still a great job.
and beautiful harmonies…BY THE WAY FOR ALL THOSE
INTERESTED THE ORIGINAL COMPOSER OF THIS SONG
IS ANNE MURRAY A COUNTRY SINGER FROM THE STATES
WHO MADE THIS SONG POPULAR IN THE 70 S ………

GOD BLESS AND DO LISTEN TO MY TRACKS…………
FIVE STA RS AND A FAVORITE FROM ME……….

Nice pick guys. This is the clearest recording I’ve heard of Sai’s. So kudos to Bodhi for that. Both of you sang very well. Neha, your accent sounded natural for the most part and there was a nice flow to you singing. Some pointers:
“Somehow u needed me, you even called me friend”- Neha, the notes didnt seem right there.

“Upon a pedestal” – That seemed off.

Sai – great job… however the lows were too low for u. You could have raised the pitch a bit.

Good job guys!

I will be shameless enough to confess that I had heard ONLY the Boyzone version of this song – needless to say, I had loved it…! Great tune and nice words, too…. And thus, when Neha told me that I had to mix a Male-Female duet, I was a bit surprised at first… But on listening to this version, I was blown off…. It sounds awesome…!!

As for the singing, I think both Sai & Neha are really really good in the Western genre…. And in this song, they just sail so smoothly through…. Great job, guys…!!

On the mixing front, am glad it came out well… I really don’t know much of the technicalities involved, but thanks to a few tips from George & Shampak, I have learnt the basic stuff now….

Thanks a lot Neha & Sai for trusting me with the mix…. feels really great to be a part of such a good collaboration…!

And for your singing, this song definitely deserves a perfect-5 and goes strrrrraightt into my FAVs…. :)

Regards,
Bodhi

Thanks all, for the encouragement and the pointers…

Neil, George… guess some lines i delivered, like ‘somehow you needed me’, are not in sync with Sai’s range… Shall try redo those parts :)

Cheers

Familiar with Anne Murray version of the song! Beautiful song and wonderfully covered by u both! Sai, though the scale is slightly lower, it still sounded fabulous…
Neha, ur singing was very good for most part…Upon the pedestal was slightly off…Loved the subtle harmonies/chorus bits
Keep up the good work, guys! And mixing by Bodhi demands a special appreciation too:) 5/5!

Wonderful singing Neha & Sai….

It was sounding so good that pointers are negligable…. I found the Hindi version of this song after listening to this…. Another genious chor Anu Malik…. Suno Zara…. he he…. Neha & Sai…… I don know why but you people sound so so good in english numbers over other covers in other languanges…. same goes for the mixing engeneer of this Song ‘Bodhi’ :)
Is it the style of singing which suits you all or what exactly…… Bcoz Eastern & Western styles are both very difficult…. I think this comes inborn…. what say??? Straight to favs…. Full marks for Sure :D

Shampak.

Little late here after 1 day break……great rendition ….sai and Neha. Sai – The normal base voice seems a little missing in this one. Neha – you sounded a little different …I was missing the huskiness :-)

Really sounds like an original and doesnt sound like a cover….Bodhi has done a terrific job with the mix….:)

1000/5 FROM ME and to my favs.

Nice one guys. Haven’t heard the original but liked it nonetheless. Mixing was very clear. Neha u sound great though I thought u need bit more consistency with notes . Sai loved ur voice in this one . Low notes seem very low for u. Overall u both did a good job:)

Wowwww this sounds beautiful to my ears ! As if I am sailing in calm waters and listening to this beautiful melody. Its only when I come out of that mood & pay attention to the vocals, I notice that there are some offs already told above, but no I dont want to get out of this romantic mood ! :D

Brilliant work by Neha, Sai & Bodhi :)

And all the while listening to the song, I was wondering I havent heard the original but still why am I feeling that I have heard it somewhere …. & then I read Shampak’s comment about “Suno zara” ! :P
Great work ! Keep them coming :)
