Hi, A song I've had around for a while but I don't think it's been posted here..been very busy over the last month so struggling to keep up...If you take a listen, I thank you..

I've never felt this way before,
I can't believe the way i love you,
aint gonna look around no more,
I can't believe the way i love you,

was feeling down but then you came my way,
now i think about your loving everyday,
I never thought I'd be the one to fall,
now I'm begging on my knees,I need it all,

Your my solar midnight x4

A blinding light is all that i can see,
and the nights when i'm alone,
it shines on me,
feeling like I've got no words to say,
so take me by my hand and lead the way,

Your my solar midnight x4

If you could see the way I feel,
Then you'd know where you should be,
I'll show you how if need be,
the way you would never see,

Your my solar midnight x4

I've never felt this way before,
I can't believe the way i love you,
aint gonna look around no more,
I can't believe the way i love you,
I can't believe the way i love you,
I can't believe the way i love you, ©KNmac

Hello Shadowfax. It's a gentle but catchy dance tune. Reminds me of some of the classic house tracks that used to play at Tokyo Joes nightclub in Preston in the 90s!
I like the effect on the vocals too. Can you provide any insight into what effect that is? Congrats on the song. It stays in the head after listening so a good sign. It's memorable.

[shadowfax]

Hi Micky..the effect on the vocal is Melodyne set to 100% pitch correction, I used it because I reckon it suites the song..ta for listening mate..

[mickyplankton]

Thanks for sharing. It does suit the song so a good decision.

Nice dance production! The autotune vocals sound great and the pulsing synths are great.

Would benefit from the really aggressive drop section after the chorus I reckon. Have you tried removing the bass from the chorus and then bringing it back big style after the chorus?

Also a strange double snare hit around 2.59 sounded out of place, maybe worth changing.

Super stuff, I enjoyed very much

Tom.

Hi Kev...

A nice change of direction! Bangs along nicely in what I guess is a '90s style. Another string to your bow.

Quite infectious, really...I also found myself humming it five minutes later...had to have a quiet word with myself 

Great stuff.

[pompeyjazz]

Hi Kev. I must be honest and say that I'm not the biggest fan of auto tune vocals but this works very well. You've captured this genre very accurately. I can just imagine this blasting out at a foam party in Beetha. Some great synth sounds going on. I particularly like the bass. Impeccably arranged and produced as usual but wouldn't expect anything else from you. Smashing work from you. Cheers John

[pompeyjazz]

Btw Kev, I was talking about Ibiza in the 90's not the 80's 

[adamfarr]

That's a real floor thumper! I could hear this wafting up the club steps or in a club film scene.

I can't stop hearing "You're my soul at midnight" - quite a good line too!

It could be me but the rise in volume at 3.00 seemed quite steep and could be a bit more gradual...

Nice stuff and the vocal effect sounds just right for this style.

[shadowfax]

Hi Guys..John..no problemo mate..I don't care if it sounds like it should be played in a club in Mongolia..as long as it sounds like it should be played somewhere that's ok by me..

Adam, ta for listening and it's 'your my solar midnight'

[Neil C]

Kev,
had a few listens to this before responding. Had an old man wanting to get his dancing shoes on!
Its got a great simple groove that is infectious and would be fab in a club imho.
The rhythm track has some real power to it and the platform for your spacey vocals and the synths which have that modern pumping feel.
Thoughst - just wondered whether you should have  stayed to the repeated chorus at 3.06 instead of the repeated verse at the end but did like the variation right at the end "i cant believe the way i love you"

Hey I like this! thats a great beat & the verses are awesome ....pure dance hedonism
unfortunately that made the chorus seem a teeny bit of a anti climax which was a shame..
it wouldve been better if the chorus lifted it higher instead of bringing it down i thought

the bridge part was nice but it seemed to drop out of the EDM genre there...maybe it was just a bit quiet

anyway I am always telling you to improve your lyrics
& you are always saying pop songs do not need good lyrics
& my thoughts on that are Kevin you are not a pop star..you are a album artist..
but after hearing this maybe you are a pop star!
as long as you are still a teenager of course

[Morefrog Jones]

Chilled and dancey... I cant believe the way I want to have another listen.

[Skub]

Yo Kev.

Although it's not my era,I have a secret weakness for melodic EDM and this one ticks that box.

You've moved up a decade or so! 

Lovely clear production,my noob daw ears can hear sidechaining in action right here. Lookit me,getting all nerd-speak on yo ass. 

Joking aside Kev,your attention to detail and pure classy sound are now expected every time I listen to a new shadowbox choon.

High is the bar at chez Kev.

[shadowfax]

thanks again for takin a listen you guy's...

Tinam, er..the verse is the chorus and the chorus is, er..the verse ...maybe ;Dta for your thoughts


Morefrog..I can't believe you wanna have another listen..cheers mate

Skub..dunno what strange Patois you speak but somehow it all made sense to me..TA!!!

your all too kind..
