Hi all, hope everyone is well, a song for your perusal...

https://soundcloud.com/user-156896782/night-needs-to-know-by-shadowfax6?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
A moment from nowhere,
the night when i need you,
the rain on my window,
pretends to be you,
a voice on it's way, to say,
what you need,
I'm floating in space,
until, you believe,
the night needs to know,
whatever you need from me I know,
the night needs to know,
the way that it needs to be I know,
the night needs to know,
your gonna believe in me and so,
the night needs to know,
where we'll be,
where we'll go,
then we'll sail away,
through the night into day,
as my body lies,
we will be far away,
we know everything,
everywhere, every place,
when the morning awakes,
I'll remember your face,

it's midnight, time to go,
So where might we like to go,
how far is a lonely night,
a dream takes you anywhere,
you wake from the danger there,
a flight into thoughts unknown,
a flight that will take you home,
a dreamscape we cannot touch,
a dreamscape we need so much,
the night needs to know,
whatever you need from me I know,
the night needs to know,
where we'll be, where we'll go,
then we'll sail away,
through the night into day,
as my body lies,
we will be far away,
we know everything,
everywhere, every place,
when the morning awakes,
I'll remember your face,

If you take a listen I thank you...best to all, Kevin

Great title. Your lyrics here miss the lines up til and including `pretends to be you`in the Soundcloud link btw. Really atmospheric track,nice changes in the 2.10 mark that could have been more forceful. Great vocal that a lot of singers couldn`t do well,intense long notes,climbing up. Wouldn`t mind hearing a female vocal on this. Vocal may be a bit plain,some atmos on that would`ve been nice,it`s a bit too long imo.

Ahhh, a nice piece of synthpop with a slight 80s vibe. As the 80s were my teenage years and synthpop was my jam I like this a lot. Its actually driving me slightly bonkers as it really reminds me of something and i can't for the life of me work out what the hell it is. Part of that is down to the vocal which I also think is great.

Hola @shadowfax

I liked the intro a lot, it prepares the ear for what comes next. Very nice song and nice lyric, this line is great
"the rain on my window,
pretends to be you,"

The idea of gradually introducing the rhythm goes very well with the ethereal style that you wanted to give it. Good changes and good delivery of the voice. Very good work.

Stay well Kevin

Love the echoey synth sounds that open this, and the gentle build.  I think I'd be inclined to up the snare a little (listening on laptop speakers though).  Nice bass sound after the 2 minute mark too.  It's a song that delivers a very smooth ride - not quite ambient but some similar calming characteristics (to me, anyway).  It's a little bit William Orbit-esque with those echoes (I'm a big fan of his, so this works well for me).
It's all too beautiful.

Yo Shadow.

A super,big,airy sound. Music to immerse oneself in. Kevin Spacey.   ;D

You have tapped into what is your style and have it honed to a definite perfection.

A class act.   8)

Love those synth sounds and deep driving bass Kev. Top notch vocals and production as usual. There's a distinct 80s feel but it also sounds modern. Top quality man

Hey, nice song. I like the synths you've used here they create a great atmosphere. it's a good set of lyrics too. neat couple of changes in direction to keep the interest going aswell, really well crafted song!
