If You Know What I Mean (WIP)
Hey folks. A song I'm working on, not yet finished. Something new to share for the TrYa stream. Enjoy <3 <3 <3 --------------------------- [INTRO] [Staccato analog synth plucks play rhythmically on every upbeat] [Danceable 144 BPM indie-rock drum kit slams in: driving four-on-the-floor kick, sloshy syncopated hi-hats, and distorted fuzz bass] [VERSE 1] [Infectious dance-rock band groove, upbeat synth plucks lock with fast palm-muted electric guitars] [Vocal: raw, breathy indie tenor with subtle tape saturation] We lived our lives like hide and seek, you Declared your love for me on Brighton Beach [Beat strips back momentarily, leaving the fuzz bass and a steady kick drum] But I didn't love you back, no I didn't love you back [Live danceable drum groove locks back in with heavy syncopated snare hits] We lived our lives along to muted tones, you Declared your love to me while skipping stones [PRE-CHORUS] [Drummer builds tension on the floor tom, analog synth plucks accelerate] But I didn't love you back, no I didn't love you back [CHORUS / EXPLOSIVE INDIE HOOK] [MASSIVE INDIE-DANCE DROP! Buzzing synth leads, upbeat synth plucks, thrashing crash cymbals, driving disco-rock beat] [Vocal: soaring lead with loud group gang-vocals shouting the harmonies] Whoa-ee-oh-ooh-oh And we could try to make it work Whoa-ee-oh-ooh-oh And we could really wind up hurt Cause Whoa-ee-oh-ooh-oh I don't remember that dream Whoa-ee-oh-ooh-oh But I remember how it felt, if you know what I mean If you know what I mean [VERSE 2] [Drops back to tight, danceable rhythm, dry acoustic snare, and upbeat analog synth plucks] [Vocal: casual, cool, melancholic delivery] Left ourselves exposed to the evening sun, we're Just kids with the aim of having fun [Beat strips back momentarily] And I could have stopped at that, though I could have stopped at that [Heavy infectious drum groove locks back in smoothly with sloshy 16th-note hi-hats] We left ourselves without much to say, we French kissed to the sound of the crashing waves [PRE-CHORUS] [Tension building, floor tom roll and raw guitar feedback] And I could have stopped at that, though I could have stopped at that [CHORUS / EXPLOSIVE INDIE HOOK] [Full energetic indietronica explosion, overdriven synth melodies, highly danceable live drums] Whoa-ee-oh-ooh-oh And we could try to make it work Whoa-ee-oh-ooh-oh And we could really wind up hurt Cause Whoa-ee-oh-ooh-oh I don't remember that dream Whoa-ee-oh-ooh-oh But I remember how it felt, if you know what I mean If you know what I mean [BUILD] [Drums pull back to a heavy pulsing four-on-the-floor kick. Frantic snare fill begins to build] [Upbeat synth plucks rapidly echo and filter into white noise] [Vocal: layered gang-vocal "whoa-ee-oh-ooh-oh" harmonies rising in intensity] [FINAL CHORUS / EXPLOSIVE INDIE HOOK] [Maximum band energy! Wall of buzzing synths and a thrashing, infectious dance-rock beat at 122 BPM] Whoa-ee-oh-ooh-oh And we could try to make it work Whoa-ee-oh-ooh-oh And we could really wind up hurt Cause Whoa-ee-oh-ooh-oh I don't remember that dream Whoa-ee-oh-ooh-oh But I remember how it felt, if you know what I mean If you know what I mean [OUTRO] [Music breaks down, leaving staccato upbeat synth plucks and gang-vocal echoes] [Final heavy thrashing drum hit, bass feedback, and analog synth decay] [END] [genre: gritty indietronica, 2000s indie sleaze, analog electropop revival, edm] [tempo: 144 bpm highly danceable indie-rock pulse] [harmony: nostalgic, bittersweet guitar-band progression driven by synths] [instrumentation: staccato analog synth plucks hitting on every upbeat, overdriven buzzing analog sawtooth wave synth lead, fast strummed clean guitars, distorted bass guitar, heavy live acoustic drum kit playing a driving disco-rock backbeat] [vocal type: indie rock frontman tenor - breathy, cool, slightly detached and raw] [vocal style: conversational delivery, saturated with slight lo-fi grit, soaring indie falsetto leaps] [vocal backing: loud gang-vocal "whoa-ee-oh-ooh-oh" shouts and raw band harmonies]
