Title: Wanna Go? modern or vintage?
Post by: devilhoned on December 05, 2017, 08:25:48 PM
We`re about to add instrumentation to this, but do you think we should go with more modern sounds or stick to the traditional reggae? I think there`s enough gaps for some organ and brass, but think some of the vibe of Feels by Calvin Harris, `Hurts` by Stefflon  Don and `What Lovers Do` by Maroon 5 can be brought into this. Recorded vocal remotely--first time try, then put onto an already existing backing track.

At soundcloud/stream, search skon Flynn.

More instrumentation is definitely needed  - I listen to reggae because it's melodic contrary to most pop music.

Overall nice track!

Title: Wanna Go? Lyrics

Here are the lyrics (Soundcloud link in previous post);

Wanna Go?

Wanna go
to that place that they don`t know
with the hearts  and the arrows
on the weeping willow tree?

Wanna go
through the back door,under shadows
jumping over hedgerow
catchin kisses in the sun

think about that
just wait and see
weekend`s soon
we`re gonna be free

wanna go
when see you in the window
and take you runnin to the beach
where we`ll soon be out of reach

think about that
weekend`s soon
think about that
all the afternoon

I heard a rumour about me and you
I heard a rumour
Isn`t it true?



Wanna go
to see who that girl is
the one that I saw kiss
that other dreaming boy


Wanna go?
Wanna go?
Wanna go?
Wanna go?

End.
