Hi there,
I'm new to the forum. I already listened to some of your songs and I probably can't live up to the professional sound but anyway I'd like to present you my new song.
The song was inspired by the album Unmasked by Kiss. I wanted to write a 70’s and 80’s inspired pop-rock song people can sing along to. Lyrically it's about aspects in the world that are not as they should be. The first verse is a fictional quote the narrator has heard somewhere and it's an example for something that should not be. The second verse is another example but in the narrators point of view. The whole message is dressed into a love song saying, you should be happy about the things you have, for example the ones you love because there's no need to hope for the whole big thing.
Don't let the video irritate you, it's unprofessional but I wanted to try out something else instead of showing the cover art the whole video.
I'd love to get some feedback about the song, especially about the sound (for future songs...). I wasn't sure this time. Mixing took me so long that I became deaf to mistakes. Are the drums too quite or are the vocals too loud maybe?
Thanks for listening
Lyrics:
"My lady turned 22 today
She was a little naive and a little complicated
I used to look her way
Well she was talking too much but she's well decorated"
Let's make love not hate
And serve your best on a silver plate
Let's make love not war
That's not what we're here for
It takes more than a million hearts
So shout it out, just shout it out
It takes more than a brand new start
To shout it out what it's all about
Oh this world might be unfair through and through
But I know heaven made me knowing you
Why should a guy being different
Be left outside alone though he is tender hearted
I guess you were never on your own
The world is calling your name, forsakenly rewarded
Waiting on the corner then she's knocking on my door
There ain't this world no more
All I ever needed was your guiding light and love
That was enough
