Intoxicatie

Yet another dream song... I had a dream where my colleagues were sitting at the table, drinking, tapping the table and singing a song - I remembered the first words and the chorus melody when I woke up, although I had to modify the melody a little because it sounded bit too much like Paloma Blanca, a hit in Europe in the 70's. Hopefully the resemblance is not that obvious anymore. Originally the lyrics were in Finnish, but when translating, I came up with that funny song title when I couldn't rhyme 'lady' properly. And then I realized I could use 'strong' female names in the verses I'm sure I could develop the story even further but it is time to give it a rest now and showcase it to you. I hope you enjoy my humor All comments welcome!

Naturally, BIAB provided excellent rock instruments for the backing band. The band is based on the style _FURIOUS.STY:

Lyrics:

Sinking booze with cheerful feeling
with both hands, surely isn't bland
no lady like Intoxicatie
will ever be my thrill.

I had heard enough
all her nagging all her cheating
no mental uplifting
no gratitude no greeting
Sherry was a savage
no balm after beating
luckily a timeless potion
gracefully treating.

Sinking booze...

Margarita left me
she had no sense of humor
came autumn then winter
her comeback still a rumor
longing is too painful
a tearshedding tumor
but I have found a healer, I'm a
homebrew consumer.

I can feel a tender kissing on my lips
my heart beats fast for the drought ending sips.

Sinking booze...

I have missed a touch
for too long I've been impatient
but Brandy won't tell when
she grants the next sensation
mutual and intimate
brush in her basement
sentiment is scorching but a
shot's the replacement.

I can feel the warmness gushing in my blood
the fire of love in the overwhelming flood.

I can feel the spirits tingle in my loins
the elixir of gods seeks the stream of life to join.

Man, you should keep pen, paper and BiaB ready while you sleep, Janne.
"Sherry was a savage
no balm after beating
luckily a timeless potion
gracefully treating."
This is so much fun. And so much funny. Love your sense of humor and the way you bring it in to play. Right from the intoxicating rhythm to the development of the melody and instrumentation. Then you add all the special touches including the "bottle emptying sound." Very creative!

Yea defo different in a great way !, a bit arranged like a band Madness again in a great way !!.

ton a fun !
Thanks

Thanks Marty for your kind and fun comment I'm really glad you had also sense of humor to understand my ideas I hope the next BIAB feature will be recognizing chords directly from brain signals, so that the chord sequence has already been recorded when I wake up

Janne

Thanks beatmaster for your positive comment Glad you found some fun. Madness - very nice band, my favorites were One Step Beyond and Tomorrow's Just Another Day.

Janne

WOW this is fantastic. Its a real funny song that you sang perfectly! Loved the chord progression, backing tracks, and mix.

Great vocoder effects also.

Two thumbs up.

Janne,
First of all, very cool and positive tune! Secondly, I do not know what you changed, but your vocals are very clear! Remember whatever the settings you used Brave choice of instruments + FX and clever composition. Love the title. Listens well.
Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

I LOVE the title.
A fun song and yes, clear, strong vocals.
Well done.

Love it, Janne!

Your title reminded me of the title of an album by Polish jazz vocalist Anna Maria Jopek "Upojenie". Wikipedia translated it as "rapture", but I had a Polish woman translate it for me as "intoxicated with you". BTW, Upojenie was the album she made with Pat Metheny.

Loved the guitar effects on this Janne. Super vocal and backtrack. Well done

Two words come to mind:

FUN and CLEVER

Your vocals and the talkbox guitar nailed the fun vibe.

The mix is excellent...great soundstage on the monitors.

Regarding that BiaB wish you have ... well, we already have Moderna vax RNA crawling around our brains so we might as well have a chord creator also

Enjoyed it!

J&B

Very creative Jan with some nice humor too. Made me smile and sounds great here.
Josie

Hi Janne,

A very good one!
I had to read the lyrics a couple of times and then the dime dropped.
Very funny story, in spite of the experience with Margarita...

The rhythmic section is very good and sounds bright and addictive.
And you made good use of that swampy vocal box.

also, as misha and Ray wrote; the vocals are much brighter than in yur previous songs.
Although they were very nice too.

Cheers,
Hans

Thanks Mario for your very uplifting words and the thumbs I considered using vocoder in my vocal track, but I thought it would just make my vocals more difficult to understand. But it was fun to find that talkbox RT guitar, it fit nicely with the not-so-sober mood of the song

Janne

Janne,

You have some of the most clever mixes around... Great song - love the tracks and the creative way you used that loop.

Nicely done!

Bob

Thanks Misha for your kind and positive comment Glad you liked the title also Actually, I didn't change anything in my vocal effecting (I use the vocal strip effect of Cakewalk, except my previous song where I used Nectar). But maybe I sang louder and fixed problems with Melodyne better, so I didn't have to bury my mistakes in the mix. I also used less reverb on the whole song, that could have had an impact.

Janne

Thanks Ray for your nice words, especially about the title

Janne

Janne

Very clever and interesting song.

Excellent use of effects and sounds to go along with your always interesting chord progressions.

Very well done all round.

Peter

Janne,

excellent job building that backtrack! The drums sound extra good on this (I've used that same set myself before). Overall sound is great. The chord structure and melody are super! Great job! Thanks, Torrey

Thanks for your kind comment Listening to Upojenie right now, never heard before.

Janne

Thanks Scott, I appreciate your positive words The guitar effect is already in the original RT, sounds great right out of the (band-in-a-)Box

Janne

Thanks Janice and Bud for your kind and fun comment I'll be the first in line to get that PGMusic's vaccination, hopefully it still allows me to use dissonant chords

Janne

Janne,

This is a lot of fun man!!

Love it!

Thanks Josie for your kind feedback Glad to make you smile

Janne

Thanks Hans, I appreciate your pleasant analysis of my song

Janne

Thanks Bob for your very kind comment Glad you liked the use of the loop, I needed something like drumming the table and the cajon loops were close enough. Luckily, BIAB has many possibilities for the arrangement.

Janne

Grabbed me by the collar in measure one and didn't let go. Very interesting, unique lyrics. Great job!

Thanks Peter for your nice comment Always big pleasure to read that my chord progressions are interesting

Janne

Thanks Torrey for your heartwarming comment Nice to hear that you liked the chord progression. BIAB has excellent set of drums to choose from.

Janne

Wonderful and clever lyrics! Love the humor.

Creative and effective production and use of Real Tracks.

Stand out recording.

Thanks David for your kind feedback and loving it

Janne

Thanks TuneMonger for your positive comment I'm really glad you found my lyrics unique.

Janne

Thanks Mr. Storm, I really appreciate your generous feedback I'm happy to read that you loved my humor

Janne

Great fun, Janne. Reminded me a little of Ian Dury and the Blockheads in its humour and rythmic invention.
Regards,
Leon

Thanks Leon, I appreciate your kind feedback Mentioning Ian Dury is a very nice compliment, haven't listened to Ian Dury much, but I've liked Hit Me With Your Rhythmstick and S&D&R&R.

Janne

Hi Janne,

That is a really good and interesting song that kept my interest from start to finish! Job well done!

Am I wrong if I am saying that you started to experiment more with your compositions during the last few years?

Will

Hi jannesan,

It's a fun composition. The chosen instruments are original. The whole is pleasant.

Kindly regard

Thanks Will for your positive comment I think it is the other way around, I'm experimenting less when getting older, using more ready made styles and making safe choices. But maybe it doesn't show up yet, because I have lots of old unfinished song ideas which I'm showcasing when finished I started this song more than two years ago...

Janne

Thanks Derochette for your very pleasant feedback
