"half the way"
Solid gold show
Lyrics:
Half of your love
Is justÖnot what I'm after.
Part of your world is just
not what I need!
Some of your time is like
One glass of water.
It just keeps me thirsty for wine!
So fill me up
To the top!
Oh don't you stop,
ëtill I'm over flowin'!
Love is the seed,
And babe I need
You to keep it growin' stronger every day!
Oh Love,
Don't take me half the way!
(Don't take me half the way!)
Don't take me half the way!
(Don't take me half the way!)
Never before
Have I settled for seconds!
All of my life I have
Hungered for more!
Now I can see where your
Sweet love can lead me!
This is what I have waited for!
So fill me up
To the top!
Oh don't you stop,
ëtill I'm over flowin'!
Love is the seed,
And babe I need
You to keep it growin' stronger every day!
Oh Love,
Don't take me half the way!
(Don't take me half the way!)
Don't take me half the way!
(Don't take me half the way!)
Half of your love
Is just not what I'm after!
Part of your world is just
not what I need!
Now I can see where your
Sweet love can lead me!
This is what I have waited for!
So fill me up
To the top!
Oh don't you stop,
ëtill I'm over flowin'!
(Love)ÖLove is the seed,
And babe I need
You to keep it growin' stronger every day!
Oh Love,
Don't take me half the way!
(Don't take me half the way!)
Don't take me half the way!
(Don't take me half the way!)
Give me all your love!
(Don't take me half the way!)
Don't take me half the way!
(Don't take me half the way!)
Give me all your love!
(Don't take me half the way!)

I live in Nashville. Born and raised. I work with CMA. I was with Crystal and her husband one day and so I called my dad on my cell phone and gave my phone to Crystal. Dad is a huge Crystal fan. Can you imagine his shock when out of the blue his phone rings, he says hello and Crystal Gayle is on the line! It was fun. Crystal and her husband were fantastic.

I’ve always loved Crystal Gale…but recently I rediscovered her when I was listening to 70’s & 80’s smooth country pop. What a treasure she and other artists are especially when all we really have now is singers doing too much vocal gymnastics! This woman is sultry, sensuous and extremely talented. She’s as smooth as a 12 year old glass of Kentucky Straight Bourbon! Yum yum!

Every performance this woman gives is a graduate course in microphone technique! She knows how compressors can ruin a dynamic vocal performance, so she perfectly pulls the mic away mid-syllable on each 'half the way' lyric, among many other smoothly-executed VERY professional moves with the microphone to perfectly compliment her range. Watch it again and see.

@PlateOshrimp499 4 жыл бұрын
@Marie Marie Compressors are pieces of electronic audio signal processing, and what they do essentially is lower the highest volume of a microphone (Crystal Gayle's in this example) and boost the lowest level to arrive at a more-consistent volume for a vocal performance-and that 'compressed' vocal can fit better at a higher finished volume in a mix with the instruments. There are trade-offs for using lots of compression and it can kill the feel of a good live show or a recording of a good vocal performance. What Crystal (and lots of other great 'old school' vocal performers) does here is accomplish the same thing by moving her mic away from her mouth when she gets loud and moving it close to her mouth when she does those amazing whispery lines. When done right, it can offer a more natural feel than using electronic compressors to do the same job. Hope this helps.

Many of Crystal's fans prefer the feeling and emotion she puts into her songs when entertaining before a live audience as opposed to the product of a sterile recording studio. Almost none of her songs have been covered by other artists because of the unique, emotion evoking style of singing she attaches to each song...but then, I may be a little prejudiced.

❤Love you Crystal❤ Didn't appreciate your talent all of these years! I really only thought of you as "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" but you're so much more. I didn't realize you had so many songs until this year. I never even realized you were so beautiful and on the inside as well. I saw you the other night receiving an award on a country tribute show. Hope you've had and continue to have a beautiful life! 💚 💜 💚
