Can you write the lyrics out, I couldn't quite understand them.  Really fun song.

[PhonoBrainer]

If that's all through a wordbuilder, then my god what a load of effort! Did you sing it, pitch it up, then autotune? Whichever, for me it kind of works, better in the chorus. The verses suffer a bit for intelligibility. But the overall effect is pleasant, and the simplistic mix elements are very nicely separated.  Maybe just a bit more volume on that bass synth?

I like this tune, and if someone was actually singing the verses that would be hard to beat. It's plenty good as it is.

 

cheers,

Hi David and Tom

Thanks for the comments.  My voice s*cks so I am using VocalSynth to do it and yes it will suffer intelligibility.  Anyways, here are the lyrics.

Over hills and far away places
Soaring straits and deepest trenches
My love, she goes, do, do, do
She shares her message and hope for the helpless

Over seas and wondrous places
Soaring dreams that move the heartless
My love, she goes, do, do, do
She shares her mercy and faith for the faithless

She follows the words of the savior
Leaving everything she loves here
My love, she goes, do, do, do
I stay here watching these ships in a distance

Every time I think of my love
My one heart sight and really miss her
I'm still standing, do, do ,do
Wondering how she brings hope for the helpless

She sends me her love by short text
It's not the same but I could get by
My heart goes out, do, do ,do
And pray for the journey and these ship in a distance

Birds and foxes have nest to rest their own heads
But the son have not one place to stay
They do not reap of have stores for the winder
Yet are they more precious than these lil' ones?

Strong dance stuff, I understand the vocal synth but not  a fan, ignoring the vocal the mix works here.

veshung, highlight the string, hit the "link" icon, looks like a piece of chain, and add the link.
I think you'll get more action that way. Even I'm a bit lazy, what can I say...
Not my genre, but you held me to the end.
Good advice above; your tune, your production.

Wookiee signing normally carries a health warning about killing all none Wookiee life forms within a Par Sec.

Cool toe tappin' beat and nice synth work.  I like the song and the lyrics but the vocal synth is a bit over the top and too out front in my opinion.
I can't sing either.

Thanks Bjorn for the comments.
