DANCE (Paris song)

ParisianTwist's picture

I made this all on Garage band...
yes. I'll admit. a FEW loops...not all.
Lyrics:

I dropped a glass
got shards in my feet
I smell like I'm reckless
as I walk down the street

I think that I'm crazy
but I don't mind
I'm smelling of ruthless
and stale wine..

wine

I think I'm just fine.

So kick off your shoes,
put on your pants
baby its time
its time to dance

DANCE!

This is good!!! I

This is good!!!

I especially like the second verse and the chorus. Using the chorus has a lot of potential. Is this done? I write songs myself, I'd like to read more of your work.

I have a song I wrote for a friend of mine that died in a car crash last year-- it will be exactly a year as of October 19th. I think that this one is truly one of my best ones, and I think that I'm going to be posting as many songs that I think are good.

As I said before, "Dance" is very very good!!

Wow...

So guess what?

This sounds a lot like "Beatific" by Glass Candy.

A lot better, though.

Don't know if I've commented yet (pretty sure I have, but whatever), but I'd just like to say that probably your best move here was using the strings - they compliment the percussion very well.

Just so you know... Anyone who's used Garageband would recognize this - the loops are all classics. ;)

/gradster(1)/ - wondering if you're doing anymore soon?
