A Growing Indifference

Previous topic - Next topic

Rightly

I recently broke up with my significant other
I don't usually write this type of song but let others do it
This one sort of just fell from the tree
The mixing was tough though

I hope you like it
ad feedback of any sort would be very welcome

Lyrics:

a growing indifference

_____________________________________________

roses and thorns will not release me
I try to get along, 'doesn't come easy
it isn't the money or the phony power play
y' just don't want me in the most familiar way

I've seen your eyes
with a new distance
that won't be denied
a growing indiff'rence
oh, yes, oh my
poor me, and mine

no burning rubber, 'barely rollin' slow
talk your lover, go tell him, let him know
.
that I've seen your eyes
stranger than fiction
that won't be defined
a growing indiff'rence
I guess, love resigned
poor me, and mine
 
now from a distance
a growing indiff'rence

change clothes and go
poor me, and mine

Sorry to hear about your breakup.

Cannot say anything on the mix other than that it sounds alright out of small laptop speakers.

On the song itself: I dig the sluggishness in the rhythm, as if the drummer is almost too sleepy to lift their sticks. I've heard it before in one of your other songs, in which a similar type of wonderful laissez-faire feeling was caused by the tuba. I think it's a great asset to your already very distinctive style, leaning somewhat towards 70s soft rock.

Looking forward to your next songs. Keep 'm coming :)

Cheers, Dorian

Dorian Urac is inspired by 80s new wave, alternative rock, nostalgic lofi recordings and cheesy outdated music from the 50s and 60s.

This is one of my favorites of yours! The setting is perfect for the theme of the song. Very nice job!

I love this song @Rightly
the vocals have something so... undefinable but engaging, maybe the tempo helps giving that sensation of melting...

Thanks dorian.
A few things there for me to consider.
I might be verging in a style, barely consciously, if so.

Soft rock... maybe. I've always found rock tends to be more flashy. I like rock. Extremely rare for me to hear guitar shredding and not feel nauseated.
Other showing off elements, piano, strings, even horns, I really like.

I'm glad you like this one.
Rightly.

Yes. I'm happy with how it turned out.
 I dare not say, I'm progressing.
Although, I really do put the work in, a lot of it seems like luck. 👍

😆 the tempo. I know it's almost a stomper. Initially, i felt a bit silly, singing a broken heart kind of song.
After deciding I'd keep it to myself I could step over silly and enjoy it.

Glad you like it. 👍

It's a good song rightly. Your production is one that belongs in a movie scene where the club is closed and still waiting for one solitary drunk singing his heart out at the Karaoke bar.
Pretty well done!
