When playing around with the backing track i researched what instruments were associated with soul and i listened to soul songs to see how they did their backing track and what instruments they used.
I really liked the fact of a simplistic backing track so we could focus on our harmonies and actually perform, i really liked the fact of a saxophone and piano being used together. We all came to the decision that we liked the fact there would only be two instruments and the fact that we didn't want to make it to complicated to take away from the meaning of the song as soul music always had a hidden message behind it.
When rehearsing the song we all worked out who was going to sing what, once that was sorted we then worked out harmonies. When we all came to an agreement about the final decision we came up with our full song we decided to record it and then play it back just to see how well the harmonies fitted in and if the backing track worked.
