daryl1968 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Hi there nice forum folk I've been awol recently and I apologise for that. I've had a bit of a lean period creatively. Here's a new song that I wrote - it is intentionally a bit of a retro thing and never meant to be too deep. Lyrics are below the link - nits and crits ok. Middle of Alright Written and recorded by Staypress V1 Blondie's on the radio Singing bout a girl I know Waking painful memories I expected the worst and it was worse than I expected V2 When i walked into the room no atmosphere just like the moon Predictably I crashed and burned I expected the worst and it was worse than I expected Chorus I'm gonna make my case so tight There's a nut in every bite In the Middle of the night In the Middle of alright V3 I'm trying not to tempt defeat Our love is like a one way street Nowhere but we're getting there I expected the worst and it was worse than I expected Chorus Repeat V1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Hi Daryl I really like this - drums / bass sound great - well tight I love those synths - the one starting at 0.50 is just so eighties but it sounds so right here. Brilliant track - loved it Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supa Reels Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Hi Daryl, it would seem were all a little dried out of late but, I'd know your work every time, always so tight/clean, and a little out line with your usual stuff, but still so profesh Love it 👍 ATB Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark skinner Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Daryl , That was a Fantastic clean production. I for sure got some Steely Dan impressions. I Loved the low harmonies you laid under the main vox and the main was smoooth. I liked the synth work especially that change at the outro. Enjoyed it .. mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy j Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 This really captures the retro sound of the post New Wave era. The mix is perfect as is the instrumentation. Interesting lyrics and your vocals are outstanding! Excellent stuff! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) As mentioned by many above you’ve nailed the eta. Fine bit of songwriting. One thing I would do; drop the “I” on “I expected the worst”. It makes you “rush” the line (IMHO). 👍s 👏 t has everyone liked and commented at SC? Yeah, have you? WTF, show a little love 💕 Edited February 26 by DeeringAmps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
