🗣️⚠️ ‼️ ATTENTION PEOPLE, THIS IS OUR FIRST BSB COVER EVER ‼️(BSB=Backstreet Boys, obviously, and if you didn’t know that then you should probably keep it to yourself because that’s embarrassing! 😘) But seriously this is big news. Tell me why-y we waited so long to cover this epic late 90s boy band pop ballad?! We’re idiots!
The reason we actually finally recorded this song (because it’s always been on our list) is because my (Marnie’s) sister Ali requested it for her wedding last week! 💕💕👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️😭🙌 She has the best sense of humor and thought it would be hilarious for guests to hear those sweet, instantly recognizable first notes and imagine the opening lyrics “You are my fire, my one desire…” as she walked down the aisle. She kept the music choice a secret from all her friends and when we started playing, we got a hearty laugh from all the guests. It was perfection! (She also began her vows with “Jay…you are my fire. And my one desire,” which was met with even more lols.) All this to say, we highly recommend this as a wedding processional!
A little more of our history with BSB. My sister and I were obsessed with them in high school. (I think I was voted most likely to marry one of them in some kind of class poll??) They were my first big concert. They were always our first love, ahead of *NSYNC. So we wanted this video to be perfect! My sis and I were adamant that Patrick incorporate some kind of chair dance into it (famously from the “As Long As You Love Me” video but whatever)
but he claimed he “couldn’t” 🙄🙄🙄- the end of this video is the best we could get out of him. Of course I had to include a patented Howie wink 😉 during his solo (although mine wasn’t quite as quick and effortless as his always were!) And obviously we had to wear the famous all white outfits. Anyway, we hope you love it! Recording it made me so so so happy! Play it at your own weddings!

LYRICS:
You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way
But we are two worlds apart
Can't reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way
Tell me why
Ain't nothing but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothing but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way
Am I your fire
Your one desire
Yes I know it's too late
But I want it that way
[Chorus]
Now I can see that we're falling apart
From the way that it used to be, yeah
No matter the distance
I want you to know
That deep down inside of me
You are my fire
The one desire
You are
You are, you are, you are
Don't wanna hear you say
Ain't nothing but a heartache
Ain't nothing but a mistake (don't wanna hear you say)
I never wanna hear you say (oh, yeah)
I want it that way
[Chorus]
'Cause I want it that way

Huge congrats to your sister! 🤍 I absolutely loved hearing your version of #IWITW

[@abioduna.1241]

This sounds like something I would like to do at my wedding. BSB were my favorite too and yes, you both nailed this! I can imagine how Ali’s wedding went with the intro. Congratulations to her.

[@deniswastaken]

Many many congratulations to your sister on her wedding & you guys have pretty amazing memories of BSB.

[@ceiyumang]

Please do Turning Page - Sleeping at Last!!🥺🥺🥺

Spectacular as always! Keep it coming.

You should do bye bye bye or better place by nsync

[@menm_91]

This is the cello and piano version we needed, but not the one we deserved. We are not worthy 🙌🏻 BSB Army 4 lyfe 🤪 If this isn't playing when I get married, then I'm not going.

[@ramixsabeh]

So much nostalgia in a single tear

[@silviamorelli8165]

You gave mi chills!! Thank you guys for your amazing talent!!!

[@dka613]

The chemistry the two of you have is unmatched anywhere! That wink at 2:08 says it all. I could listen to the two of you play all day long. I can't get enough! Thank you for the beautiful music you bring to us!

[@thaik7474]

The way that they look each other,the love,god it's so beautiful! We can feel it in the song.

[@lydiastupak6852]

Was für ein talentiertes, kreatives und hübsches Paar❤

[@timmybalogh]

Good job guys you are the best players I ever seen be well Play your piano and your cello you guys are great you do good good job 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@just-nadia-and-keys]

I think we need a whole Brooklyn Duo album dedicated to the 90's era. BSB, Nsync, Christina Aguilera, Westlife, Britney, Mandy Moore.

[@BrooklynDuo]

Best idea ever!

[@spmoran4703]

I agree . Go for it.

[@thegreenreaper6660]

To be fair, i think this pureity of music actually sounds even better then some of the originals...

[@ravdeepsingh9436]

Thank you, your music restores my faith in humanity

[@anthonychukwu4586]

Nostalgic. When men were still boys. Please keep the 90s songs 🎵 coming. Kudos 👏 💐

[@Littlestuff1968]

Oh my God you guys! You two just slay me. Your music not only touches my heart but it soothes my soul.....and don't even get me started on the way you two look at each other when you play.......you are so talented. You two always make smile no matter how bad of a day I am having. This was a beautiful version. Loved the original, and love this just as much! Love you guys! Keep doing what you do and fill our hearts with beautiful music! ❤❤❤

[@MELLIEbevhills]

Marinie's work on the Sustain pedal is always spot on!

[@rodmgomes]

How possible is to get an old song and do it grows up like flowers? So beautiful.

[@zaneturner8423]

Wow !! That was sooo good, and this is from a guy that listens to all kinds of music, Country, Rock & Heavy Metal. Great job you two.....Like that little wink she gave you. Lol

[@pataldi3660]

I love the way you look at each other while playing. Love joy passion for your music and each other. At least that's what I see. Beautiful

[@KS-xk2so]

I'm usually not one for mushy romantic stuff, but honestly the wink at 2:07 was adorable lol

[@spmoran4703]

You made a simple pop love song into something Mendelsohn could have created. I love it .

[@deniswastaken]

Amazing version. Cello speaks all the lyrics so beautifully and addition of piano adds almost the most enjoyable feeling.

[@Amarmi579]

🥰 those white outfits! So Backstreet Boys 🤩🤍🤩👍

[@lisag6025]

BSB will also be my favorite boy band! Love this!

[@beckygardner2659]

Mission accomplished…I LOVED YOUR COVER of this classic BSB song. I’ve already watched and listened to it several times. Perfectto!!!

[@nbgrooms]

This was absolutely beautiful.! Part of it with these two is the way they look at each other while their playing. You can really tell they genuinely share the love of music. The best part was the end. Clearly, they have fun together doing this.

[@MelGreenwalt]

100%

[@jupiter3067]

As always, such a beautiful harmony between you two, and your two instruments.... The way you play them, make them literally be able to express their emotions (sorry for my bad english).

[@eddie75935]

AGAIN.....EXCELLENT. VERY ENTERTAINING AND POWERFUL.

[@robertohamar]

So beautiful. It makes me want to pick up my cello again after a few years of not playing it anymore!

[@gracieloo3541]

I love the trade off of the melody between them during the choruses and the verses. Absolutely beautifully done! So talented!

[@mbengbeng3679]

I love the interaction between your faces while playing😊
