Started this song back in 50/90 2013, but I ran out of steam so I finished writing and recording it for FAWM 2014. Probably still need to do some cleanup (as always!). I used Floyd jane's handclaps real drum user track -- quite nice!

Shout It Out
© Emmrich 2014

(verse)
She wears a yellow dress
she smiles like the sun
and when you think you've
figured her out
she surprises you again
with the little things she does

(chorus)
and I've got to shout
there's no hiding inside
she makes life fun
and I haven't shouted out
for a long, long time

(verse)
She picks up the leaves
been scattered by the breeze
red and green and gold and brown
she throws them in the wind
and spreads her radiating grin

(chorus again)

Gotta shout it out
shout it out
Gotta shout it out
shout it out

(verse)
now that I've been exposed
to her charms and her ways
I never wanna go back
to those gray days

(chorus again)

Gotta shout it out
shout it out
Gotta shout it out
shout it out

(outro)
and I haven't shouted out
for a long, long time

This is a very enjoyable listen. Good job.

Regards,

very sweet sentiment and the claps work very well!

Kevin,

That one just gets more and more catchy as it goes along.

Enjoyable. Nice use of the claps!

Hi Kevin,

catchy tune and nice mix.
Thanks for sharing.

I love your stuff!! Love the whimsical nature of your lyrics and your style! I would try to pitch this for a film/TV show. Keep it up! Take care. Greg

Enjoyed that. A catching sense of fun and enthusiasm. Cheers.

Nice. And it sticks with you. Listened, went and had a cup of joe, came back to the mac and still had it on my mind. Cool. And, yup, the claps sit nicely. Glad you revived this one!

Kevin,

Catchy song with a very cool vocal and arrangement. One thing you might consider is to put it more in the "indie" sound pocket so it's a wee bit drier on the instruments with more raw edge. To me, it's a tad smooth sounding for the style. Not a criticism in any way - only a consideration or not...<grin>

I'm loving it here.

Hello Kevin,

This is a very cozy song.
In the beginning of the song it sounds a little bit like some of the real tracks are not completely in sync with each other?
Anyways, very well done and very nice vocals!

And now we are going to search for Floyd's handclaps here on this site.

Regards,
R & AM

to shout it out often !!:))
Take care
