Ok be warned I tried a lot of weird stuff in that one!!

It was supposed to be about guys that pick up girls in bars as a serious hobby (seduction community), but told in the first person… it turned out not very clear i think unfortunately! Also I have a pretty bad cold too so my voice wasnt top shape

What I like about it:

I like the chorus, the song is short for a change

What i’m not so sure:

The bridge/ending part doesnt sound very finished.. The verses are too similar to what i did in other songs. I don’t like the lyrics that much way too arrogant but at the same time its not clear that its ironic..

I’m keeping it very short cause I have to leave now, again thanks for the comments and keep posting!

What You Want

Why is it you believe
That all is won?
You think I'm like the other ones?

The good looks won't do
If you can't prove
That in my world, you can cruise

CHORUS
I'm in your head
Now you are mine
Oh you know I'm what you want
You know I'm what you want

I'll rip to shreds
Your little mind
Oh you know I'm what you want
You know I'm what you want yeah

Admit it a minute
Is all it took
And I read you like a book

Just a magic trick
You know it's rigged
But you still bought into it

I can totally be rude
I can totally be so kind
I can totally be true
I can totally be your type

  1. Sam Said,

    Ironic or not I think the lyrics are alright. It’s not as if in all the songs you would be arrogant. The lyrics don’t have to be true all the times. The rythm is good, I like the 2 voices at the same time in the chorus and in the bridge. Not sure about the laugh after the chorus. It’s funny but I’m not sure it fits right. The high notes in the word “totally” sound a little weird to me. It seems like the first part of the word is sang louder than everything else. Keep the good work chow

  2. JP Said,

    I got this one in memory after only few minutes. I ask myself about the fact that melody was a known one… But I think no… Some parts of the song sounds like “Flaminco”, and this contributes to personalize the song, as well as the laugh. Also the laugh are surprising, and act as attractive element

    The voice is good, even if you said that you had a cold when you recorded it.

  3. Marie-J. Said,

    I think this song is really strange… I noticed a lot of things that I like, but I listened it again and again, and I think I can’t listen it like a whole song, I mean it seems like many parts together. Weird.. I just get fixed on some details like the laugh (I really love it, it’s really surprising but it definitely brings a little something), every parts with 2 voices, the whisper… it’s all good… But maybe I was surprised by the end, and that’s why the song seems to be 2 songs for me. I was waiting you to sing the chorus another time at the end, but nothing! But I agree with JP, even with a cold, your voice is good!

  4. Louis Said,

    yeah i couldnt decide between the 2 parts and then i tried to put them together and then its true that it doesnt really fit there (the ending) … but at least this can be easily fixed by just changing the structure
