Hi everyone,
I was at work cleaning windows mumbling melodies to the morning sky, when I stumbled upon the phrase “Shouldn’t, but I do”.........I thought to myself that that was a pretty cool line...mainly cos it’s got a bit of a naughty edge to it and secondly, cos it sings like “Scooby dooby doo“ Which appeals to my being just a big kid!🤪🤦🏼♂️ (imho) anyway....I came up with a story, wrote some of the lyrics, melody and sent a voice message of me singing it to my friend Shevaun asking if She wanted to join the project....I was super happy when she agreed as I know how talented a singer she is.
Musically I messed around with some loops and when I found a groove I liked, I then wrote other little bits and then found THAT bass line (thank you Ezbass) it was a lot of fun to put together. I don’t think I’ve ever layered so many vocals in a song before so that was an exciting challenge.
Shevaun recorded all of her vocals just on her iPad headphone mic!!😱😱😱😄 ikr? She came up with that gorgeous high Harmony which I didn’t know the song needed until she sang it and she helped me with the lyrics.
I actually didn’t have to do too much to her vocals despite how she recorded them, which is because her singing is AMAZING...A bit of depopping and a slight, slight hiss, which I think I got most of...some Eq and compression & fx and we were off.
I played it to my wife with the declaration that there was absolutely nothing to worry about!!🤣🤣🤦🏼♂️
Anyway....all feedback is welcome. We hope u like it and thanks for checking it out.😄🎶👊🏻🎶

Got a girl and she means everything to me
So this is crazy...this is crazy.
Got a man and he’s just given me a ring
He’s my baby...he’s my baby..
So what’s going on,
cos when i see your face It all goes wrong
Every time your eyes meet mine I’m hypnotised
That’s why...when I lay awake at night
I shouldn’t but I do...think of you
Shouldn’t but I do....feel for you yeah
Shouldn’t but I do...need you
Well I’m damned if I don’t and damned baby if I do
Every morning work is calling you and me
To the city...to the city
Got a lot to do, but when you talk to me
I’m not busy, I’m not busy
Walking the wire
Trying not to fall for that smile
Tell myself I’ll be ok
I know my place
But I...when I lay awake at night
Chorus...
It’s a crush...dangerous...love when I feel the rush
It’s a crush...dangerous...dreaming about your touch x2
