Dance Song For People Who Don't DanceNew song & vid. We used Acoustica Mixcraft for the mixing and Corel Video Studio for the video production ******* LYRICS ****** Song info below lyrics Dance Song For People Who Don't Dance This is a dance song for people who don’t dance All you do is get up on your feet and take a chance You can do it in a group, a pair or on your own It's the simplest dance song that this world has ever known You don’t have to do the moonwalk none of that flash stuff Getting on your feet and shuffling round is good enough Dance like no-one's watching, cos no-one ever does Seeing people moving & smiling’s what we love This is for the folks out there who usually don't dance The ones who'd rather take a seat instead of take a chance They stand back in the shadows and watch others while they shine But this dance song is different because it's yours and mine I know I've got two left feet but wanna try it out Before you know it I'm getting down to "Twist 'n' Shout" Remember it’s a dance song for people who can’t dance They do it down in London, and in Paris France Their Parisian feet move to the beat and then it’s “oo-la-la” Soon they’re dancing rhumbas and then the cha-cha-cha Though they're from big citie s it don't mean they know what's right You just let your hair down and dance with all your might D it on your own, in a group or in a pair Shake your tail feathers like you just don’t care ***SONG INFO *** ****** Song Summary ************* Title: Dance Song for People that can't dance v001h.SGU File:Dance Song for People that can't dance v001h.SGU Key=E , Tempo 110, Length (m:s)=3:44 No intro. 100 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 100.

Good use of BIAB, Tracks work nicely for the song. Good vocals. Well mixed.
The video is really well done. I was surprised how well the dancers matched the music - did you match that up in the video software?

Thanks for the kind comments Floyd. Yes, a member since '03 and never posted a song on here! The dancers matching the music was down to a lot of luck (and a little effort from me).
I have lots more and I intend posting more.
I've just listened to some of your music and really appreciate your comments, as your stuff is GREAT!

Hi Killer,
Song - Good Old Rock N Roll - I like it. Lots of light and shade.
Vocals - A little unclear because of the vocal harmony effects (or similar) used. I would like to hear the lead vocalist and the BV's or vocal effects just used in places e.g. the last two lines of each verse or maybe on specific rhyming words.
Sax - up a little in the breaks.
Left Side Instrument - how about using a Piano instead of the Guitar? There's plenty in BIAB that would fit really well.
I would like to hear a remix,
Best Regards
Nigel

Hi Killer
As I watched this I realized that the fun MP4 had a cool MP3 accompaniment so I gave it another spin and yep, ...... a cool MP3 accompaniment! Reminded me of Kiss by Prince. I like the multi tracked vocals and the stereo placements of the instruments . Good fun , clever lyrics and as a non dancer with two left feet you had me hooked from the start. Great stuff , keep 'em coming.
cheers
Gary.

Great song-based arrangement of the band. It's hard to find "dancing" that actually matches the tempo, so well done in making this an enjoyable "watch" as well as song. I have to say, though, that the guy in white dancing alongside the woman was copying my moves. Great fun and much enjoyed.

Welcome old timer, new poster. You should post more as this is really good. Super RT backing tracks and a good vocal. The video was good also.
This is a winner as is in my book.

I'm with Nigel on the comments. Yep... cool tune but needs a "mix fix".
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Hi Nigel
thanks for the suggestions. I really appreciate you taking the time to listen and analyse the song. I'll try what you've said. I was aware of the two guitar parts getting in each other's way but, Duh?!, didn't think of using a different instrument. I'm aware I have an issue with vocals in that 1) I'm unconfident as a singer; 2) I'm using a cheap mic; 3) I'm recording the vocals in a spare room and with the best will in the world I can't help but feel self-conscious, which then, naturally, affects my performance ;o); 4) I'm never quite sure how far to push them forward into the mix. Further forward is my answer for this one then! And I'll raise the sax volume in the breaks too.
But for now . . . I have many more I need to start on.
Thanks again.

Thanks Gary, high praise indeed! Love your tagline, "If my music sucks, good. If you tell my WHY,....even gooder." I reckon that's why we're on here, right? You in the UK?

Well, since other people did the heavy lifting analyzing the mix, that means I can do the easy part and say how much I enjoyed the song and video. Fun song, clever lyrics, nice match with the video. Much enjoyment was had, even without dancing.
