Ok enough thinking during the last month, now let’s get back to work!
During the break, i met a few musicians and this song is a collaboration with a keyboardist I had a few jams with, hopefully we can continue writing some more songs together!
Well I hope you like it! Don’t forget to leave your comments!!
What I like about it:
A lot of little hooky stuff i think, oh oh ah ah, etc…. Like the bridge and the back vocals on the last chorus
What I’m not so sure:
At the beginning of the song the verse is a bit monotone.. also, the keyboard was recorded on its own before, so sometimes the voice and keys don’t go that well together
Lyrics
How Are You Getting By? VERSE You're measuring every move you make Calculated faith You're messing with surgical blades No room for mistakes People around are so impressed Strategic coolness Not quite how you feel inside CHORUS You're terrified Oh I know that you're terrified So utterly terrified Dead scared of being cast aside You're terrified Oh I know that you're terrified So utterly terrified How are you gettin, gettin by? VERSE 2 The show is coming to a close Anxiety grows Can't walk on eggs eternally Your secret's set free People around that you lead on Get it and get gone This calls for one of your finest lies CHORUS BRIDGE I used to be wrapped around your finger I used to get high on your every word Now I'm alright, i'm fine, but once in a while CHORUS I'm terrified I'll lose control again Terrified I'll lose myself again Terrified So far, I'm gettin, gettin byPosted under Rock
Oh yessss! You’re back to work and we love it! Great song with a lot of good subtleties! The intro with the drums at the beginning is brilliant and I really love the way you’re singing the verses. But tell me… is it normal that the bass just stop suddenly at the end of the first line of the bridge? It seems super empty just too suddenly… maybe a fade out would be good, or maybe stop the bass just before the first line of the bridge… Anyway, another great song from you!
