Blackout Never enough funky songs on this forum, so here's a new one which I have co-written with Miira and we are also singing it together, although not at the same time. RealTracks: Acoustic piano #1576 Alt Sax Solo #1441 Electric Bass #2607 Electric guitar #1435 Electric piano #2526 Realdrums: Bongos, BluesRockFunk x3  Loops: funkadelic_117_perc, hiphop_ush105c_drums MIDI strings (VST: The Orchestra) Sound effects Vocals: Janne S, Miira VMixed in Sonar Platinum Lyrics: My head is aching
slowly awakening
where on earth am I
who is to blame and why?
Why is there a hood
beneath my head
I’m not feeling good
I’m not in my own bed
Oh my god I can see a pair
of boxers next to my underwear.
Blackout
so much to know about
A total blackout
wish I could say without a doubt
I had the night of my life
that there's nothing to worry about.
Did we do it?
was it any good?
can’t remember a thing,
or kissing, was it smooth?
Is it better that
I just forget
or are you the prince
that I've finally met
I think it’s better if I just leave
sneak out quietly, pretend it wasn’t real.
Blackout...
Nice to see you awaken,
I’ve made you eggs and bacon
here's a warm coffee cup
take a shower, cheer up.
Please tell me why you
tried to sneak away
you mean so much to me
I'm begging you to stay
I want to tell you
each detail
face to face, my heart won't
hide behind a veil
like a dream, we spun as a team
the devotion's wheel beautiful and real.
Blackout...
----------------- Janne

What an exceptional write.
This really has extraordinary WOW factor.
Lyrically, this is simply brilliant:
I want to tell you
each detail
face to face, my heart won't
hide behind a veil
like a dream, we spun as a team
the devotion's wheel beautiful and real.
Musically, this is quite fantastic.
The perfect use of the Sax solo adds color. And the percussion at the start of the songs sets us up for a wonderful music adventure.
Extraordinary.

Hello, Janne and Mira
Very nice melody and vocals!
The melody has plenty of characteristics of Jeanne.
As Trevor said, the perfect use of the Sax solo adds color.
And the percussion at the start of the songs sets us up for a wonderful music adventure.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

This is a fabulous track, guys. How did you get such a 'BIG' sound?
The chord changes are terrific, along with the big fat rhythm section, I loved that. Also some very clever 'ear candy' touches!
A very accomplished track in all departments.

Wow - this one knocked it out of the ballpark! I love both of your vocal deliveries on this one. The whole tune flows immaculately, from the groove to the melodies to your vocals. The incorporation of the saxophone really helped add another layer of vibrance to the tune. The whole things pops in so many different ways. Really well done - thanks for sharing
Cheers,
Deryk

Great sound, super mix.
Two thumbs up.

Extraordinary. Thanks VideoTrack for your kind words and WOW, it really makes me happy  I'm glad you liked that lyrical part, I tried to be poetic in that part, because it was my vocal part and it gives nice contrast to the more mundane words in the female parts. Nice to hear that you noticed the bongos at the start, I needed a smooth transition from the sound effects to the song itself and bongos really helped to achieve that goal. Janne

John Thanks John for your very nice comment Always pleasure to receive positive words about chord changes. The big sound, I guess that's because I generated 3 times the same drum track (one for kick, one for snare), as instructed on this forum Also, the use of T-Racks 5 One as the master effect really makes things kick! Janne

Janne, This is...  Everything about this song and its presentation is exceptional. The writing is very strong, the arrangement is first class, your and Miira's vocals are superb, and the production is spectacular. It's a huge and very enthusiastic one-man standing ovation from me!  Definitely one to be proud of! All the best, Noel

Thanks David, I appreciate your kind feedback I have used your(?) tip to use three tracks of the same drum for thicker sound, maybe that's why the mix may sound perfect to you  Janne
