My Dog - a collab with Staypress


Leizer

Recommended Posts

Hi there!

I'm no lyricist, but I wanted to do a song (it has been 5 years since I wrote a song with lyrics) so I reached out to Daryl who I collaborated with several years ago playing violin. He accepted and it has been a real blast. He also was a great guidance in the mixing process. Thanks!

My Dog
Written by Staypress (lyrics) & Lasse Williamsson (music)

Staypress - vocals and background vocals
Lasse Williamsson - the rest

While apart I thought about your face, nothing can replace, left an empty space
Days and nights would never be the same, my life would be so plain without you

You give me love, unconditional love
You chase a ball and bark at the postman
I take you walks, in all the parks
And give you my food under the table

Your the one that brightens up my days, in so many ways, clears my malaise
When you look at me and wag your tail, my life would be so stale without you

I sometimes don't feel worthy
of the way you look at me
The way you greet me when I open the door,
Is a sight to see

Whatever the next Disney movie is about dogs, this should be in it. Your chord changes with that awesome melody, just terrific old-school pop writing. The modulation was clever, and straight into an instrumental retelling of the hook - great idea there.

And the mix was very hi-fido.

Great collab, great vocals, great talents that should be more widely appreciated!

That is your dishwasher pre wash Leizer an sensible dog owner knows this, it is also very green saving on water like that.

Daryl at his usual lyrical best, the music and playing were cool too..

Mix sounded fine here on the Event's

"Friendly ..., upbeat, wholesome and fun" indeed.  This is a wonderful melodic popish song.  Production and performance sound great!  As one who enjoyed the "love" of two dog and lost them both, I can certainly relate to the lyrics.  This was a listening treat!
