My Millennial Masterpiece This time a simple pop song about writing a perfect pop song  Most likely it's not a perfect masterpiece, but maybe there is a hidden message how to write such thing  To keep the length close to 3 minutes, there are no solos. RealDrums: Soul70sEv16 RealTracks: VocalOohs #3064, #3069 Electric Bass #1398 Electric guitar #1398, #1236, #1401 Piano SynthLayer #1410 SynthPad #1543 Vocals by me Mixed in Cakewalk by BandLab Lyrics: Sometimes I am trying just too hard to create pure perfect art even then when I am making love mere technique won't serve my sweetheart. For many years I've been trying to write my millennial masterpiece, a tale to touch and delight asking myself is perfection just a dream or a flush of a swift gleam? Sometimes I am trying by all means to please the critics appetite I can decorate the Christmas tree full of frills so it's no more in sight. For many years... Sometimes I am trying night and day to resist all cute clichés a euphemism after worn-out ones I deny the truth that love suits always. For many years... In the charming moment of a three minute ride my child awakens, heavens open wide clichéd or not, still unique in my eyes vulnerable, giving me love with no ties. For many years I've been trying to write my millennial masterpiece, a tale to touch and delight asking myself is perfection just a dream it's a flush of a gleam. ------------- Janne

Pondering perfection.
A cool narrative and a good melody.
Your vocals get better with every track.
Nice pop ballad arrangement to carry it too.
Cheers

Nice bit of pop music. But only three minutes? Speak for yourself! What? It's not an extended double-entendre?  Well, then. Fine song. Carry on.

You may call it a simple pop song but it's
certainly well written, performed and produced.
Really good vocal and you put together
a fine band.
It's got that important quality of a good pop song
in that it sticks with you.
Well done!
J&B

Thanks Ray for your positive feedback I know I should practice much more to make my vocals even better, even two week break means many re-takes and more tweaking with Melodyne. Janne

Janne,
I think there`s enough of the universal songwriter`s dilema in your personal struggle to make your Masterpiece song easy to relate to...and I like that image of over decorating the Christmas tree! No solo needed on this.
Your melody is a good pop contrast with the lyrics and I agree, your vocals are excellent here.
Robert

Lyrics that any songwriter on this forum could probably relate to. Interesting, well-constructed chord progression and nice harmonies.
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

Janne,
The melody is very catchy and beautiful.
The chord progression is very tricky but very smooth.
Both of them show your originality fully.
It is also very effective that the bridge melody appears at the end of the song.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi
