Duplicate post. Sorry.

The basslines are also completely different. In that
"Promises & Lies" version, the bassline doesn't follow
the chord changes like it does in the single mix.
It's almost as though they re-wrote it to make the
song more musical and just a bit less reggae-
influenced.

Here's the "Promises And Lies" version. The only difference is that Ali's vocals
are dry and lower in the mix during the first verse. On the "Sliver" hit version,
there's a delay on his vocals making them sound thicker. The drum machine is
lower in the mix.

There are definitely synthesizers along with the singing, although they
are at a low volume level. ]]> Mon, 03 May 2021 18:33:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3142&PID=58126&title=ub40-cant-help-falling-in-love#58126 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3142&PID=58125&title=ub40-cant-help-falling-in-love#58125 Author: AdvprosD

I would call the intro as sung "Acapella."

I'm going to have to revisit it to find the "Minimal Instrumentation." As far as I remember, it was only the singer.]]> Mon, 03 May 2021 15:58:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3142&PID=58125&title=ub40-cant-help-falling-in-love#58125 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3142&PID=58124&title=ub40-cant-help-falling-in-love#58124 Author: BSharp

There's one version that has a busier-sounding
bassline... I'm pretty sure it's on UB40's album but is
not the hit version from the Sliver soundtrack.

The soundtrack version was the one that got serviced to
radio - everybody got the version that started with the
singing of the first verse with minimal instrumentation
(just a keyboard-string background), but many stations
cued past that to get to the part where the beat kicks
in. The 3:01 version without that sung intro was then
sent to radio. ]]> Mon, 03 May 2021 13:55:44 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3142&PID=58124&title=ub40-cant-help-falling-in-love#58124 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3142&PID=58123&title=ub40-cant-help-falling-in-love#58123 Author: aaronk

Oh, okay. That portion sounds fully sung to my ears (just without any percussion behind it), so I was confused about the "talking."]]> Mon, 03 May 2021 10:05:01 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3142&PID=58123&title=ub40-cant-help-falling-in-love#58123 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3142&PID=58122&title=ub40-cant-help-falling-in-love#58122 Author: PopArchivist

Sorry Aaron, its the 20 seconds of speech by UB40 that opens the single version instead of starting on the instrumental.]]> Mon, 03 May 2021 09:48:24 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3142&PID=58122&title=ub40-cant-help-falling-in-love#58122 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3142&PID=58121&title=ub40-cant-help-falling-in-love#58121 Author: thecdguy

I think we're just referring to the opening words on the
single version's intro that sort of sound like they're
being half sung, half spoken. "Talking" probably wasn't
the best way to describe it, lol. ]]> Mon, 03 May 2021 04:17:51 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3142&PID=58121&title=ub40-cant-help-falling-in-love#58121
