Let In The Light

[Dan]

So as a British child of the 80s synth pop of that era has always had a special place in my heart. I've been going through a phase of shamelessly doing some retro sounding tracks. I've realised with the last few tracks I've done it's a good creative exercise to have a clear vision of the sound your trying to go far. In the past I've been a bit aimless and just floundered around to see what comes out. So I had great fun putting this together, it's bordering on parody, but I think that's ok. Feedback welcome as always.

@Dan - I think you have the framework for a good song, Dan. You mentioned, "...it's bordering on parody, but I think that's ok." Yes, it's absolutely ok! Parody songs can be a lot of fun. I look forward to hearing where you take this one if you choose to develop it more. Good job.

Cheers,
Joseph

Thanks man, I dunno if I am going to fiddle about with it too much. I've just finished this version today and I often go back to stuff a couple of weeks later when I've had time to process what I've done. Thanks for the swift feedback.

Such good advice!

I have two prosody suggestions, if you do more work on this one. And, of course, take or leave them as suits you.

1. On the "feels so right" lines, change the rhythm so you can emphasize "feels". FEELS so right.

2. Same thing on the "forget the night" lines. Emphasize the second syllable of forget. ForGET the night.

I tested both of those and they will work.

That's all I have. I love sentiment of this.

Thanks Vicki. I'll bear what you've said in mind. As I say I like to live with a track for a couple of weeks and then reassess things like timing and lyrics.
