Hi guys,

Been away for a while trying to hone my writing and production skills, and I'm actually mid way through an Ableton Live course at the moment with a company called Quantize, if anyone has any interest in this type of production I would be happy to post a review when I'm finished...a little undecided at the moment as it all seems very straightforward but then I have been using Logic for years.

Anyway, I wrote this tune a little while ago, is fairly simplistic but thought it was a nice little summer track...would love to hear your thoughts as always.

Exciting to see lots of new people on here since I last visited, I will be sure to check our some of the latest posts over the weekend and feed back.

Many thanks

Mack


Verse 1
I lost the moment
I lost the feeling now let it go
I lost the reasons
Can’t see the meaning is all I know

Chorus
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go

Verse 2
I stopped to listened
There’s something missing is what I told
Don’t stop believing
Don’t fight your feelings is all she wrote

Middle eight
Tell me why I feel that I’ve wasted time
Making all the same mistakes
Tell me why these people want to put me down
When being different is all that it takes

I lost the
I lost the feeling now let it go
I found the romance
Can’t fight the feelings is all I know

Chorus
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go

Middle eight
Tell me why I feel that I’ve wasted time
Making all the same mistakes
Tell me why these people want to put me down
When being different is all that it takes

Love it. Happy, upbeat sound. A real treat for the ears. I would love to have that on in the car. Boring review I'm afraid ... change nothing. It's great!

Thank you guys so much for taking the time to listen and comment.

I'm working on a new ballad today, which I'll post when I'm able to, and have been struggling with it a little. Your positivity has really given me the boost I need to get going with it again.

Thanks again and have a great day.

Mack  :D :D :D

As with all your stuff I'm loving it Mack. It has a great bouncy summer vibe to it, could easily be playing in the background while knocking back a few bevvies in a beer garden or at a BBQ while stuffing my face!

Great vocals. Got a Mika feeling from the vocals on the chorus. Great harmonies and layered vocals. As always a great production :)
