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

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

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 ?

has everyone liked and commented at SC? Yeah, have you? WTF, show a little love ?

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

Thanks so much Nigel

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 ?
