I think this is pretty much done, however it might evolve some later. I started with the main keyboard line in GarageBand on my iPad. I added some bass, the bass synth and drums are from Bassline and Modrum on my iPad. Also used the software synths Absynth and FM8. My music partner Jordan added the small guitar part over the lyrics. This is also my first real shot at double-tracking my vocals.
Lyrics:
It's been a long time since I've seen your face.
It's been a long time since our second date.
I don't know how long it's gonna be
till you come dance again with me.
Whenever I look into your eyes
I just look back and realize
I want you here right by my side.
Stay with me and you will find
when I'm down upon my knees
It's only you I want to please.
My mind is always in a fog.
You got me barking like a dog.
When you look into your heart
I hope you'll see I'm the one you want.
I hope someday you'll understand
That I was meant to be your man, come on.
Let me be your man
Let me be your man
I want to be your man.

I think my low end just overpowers a tad bit. My monitors don't have much low end, so when I mix there, I end up overcompensating and putting a little much. But I'm happy with everything else. Just need to get more used to my monitors, or break down and get a subwoofer :P. Thanks for the critique! :)
Thanks for the comment! :) I started writing it in GarageBand for the iPad, but the only part I kept and recorded straight from that was the main keyboard riff. However the bass synth sequence and drums are from two other iPad apps. Added bass/guitar and a couple software synths from Native Instruments. The pic is totally random :P
At first I thought his was an insental track, but then the lyrics arrived. This piece is very subtle and smooth. Not sure about the delay on the voice though. For some reason it made things feel a bit faster paced than the rest of the song. Otherwise well done, and easy listening.
