I belong to the privileged upper middle class here in Denmark, which i why I point a finger at myself. Feel free to agree or disagree upon my views.

There's a Gilbert O'Sullivan lilt to the chorus melody - nice. The vocal sounds over processed. Great message & cool song. Cheers rayc "What's so funny about peace, love & understanding?" - N.Lowe

[/quote There's a 60' & 70's vibe to it, where the use of chord progression with 7sus and and Dimished were used frequently. There's more than a single vocal track, but there's going quite some processing on: There's a Vocal track 1 octave higher than my normal vox There's my normal Vox There's a track an octave lower than my normal vox The plugin ADT from Wave is used And iZotope Nectar channel strip with compression, EQ, Noise Gate (to minimize bleed) and RX7 De-Click Here's the lyrics: I can almost sense a new sensation in the air I can hear them marching in the street Rising up against a system unjust and unfair It is a tough one to defeat On the news they talk about gender equality I really thought that deal was done Luckily this mess has none at all to do with me I just turn my head and then it’s gone I don’t disagree with their views And I wish them all the best But why do they constantly argue? It makes me so depressed I’ve been sitting here all life Feeling good about myself I have been appointed to a nice room with a view Maybe you deserved it more than me I have decided to stay for a while or two Just feeling good about myself I have an eye for details both at work and in cafes Nothing escapes my eagle eyes An almost naughty smile will truly meet your gaze I do exactly as I like I did not leave you all alone The temptation was too great And since you have entered my zone I do not need to debate Cause I’ve been sitting here all night Feeling good about myself I have been appointed to a nice room with a view Maybe you deserved it more than me I have decided to stay for a night or two Just feeling good about myself I’ve been lying here all life Feeling good about myself I have been appointed to a nice room with a view Maybe you deserved it more than me I have decided to stay for a day or two Just feeling good about myself I have been appointed to this nice room with a view No one has deserved it more than me I have decided to stay for a life or two Just feeling good about myself MacMini M1 - BIAB2021 - Logic Pro X - iZotope Music Production Suite - Scaler 2 - far too many Waves plugins and Line 6 Guitars and boards + a fantastic Yamaha THR10ll mini Amp - Avid MBOX Studio Peters' Garage is available on all major streaming services
