This song is not in a battle


Here it is. 

Lyrics:

STEFAN
Don't act like you don't know what has been going around
See girl I already know about
The little words that come out of your mouth
So let's walk until you figure it out
I know that there are feelings that we both share
So stop messing about and stop leading me on
I can feel it coming down and it's all too much

And we take two steps back
We're falling backwards
I never wanted to fall for you
Times will change
And people worry
We take two steps back

PETER
So it's been a year since then
I guess maybe you could have changed
Does your mom still call you up on the telephone?
To let you know
That you can't think without her
You need her there, do you need her there?
Think about it does her approval
Really mean that much to me?

And we take two steps back
We're falling backwards
I never wanted to fall for you
Times will change
And people worry
We take two steps back

I still can hear the auto-tune but less. That's better.
I like the unison you made.
Good job.

I like this so much, I do like your style and this collab of styles is just right.

You fancy putting the lyrics up like you did for the first one or a link maybe?

I could say something about the drums ..... but I'm not too sure what ! Maybe they need to be toned down in the beginning and build up more with the song.......

But good stuff guys, really enjoying, it's an up beat power pop song....the boys are back in town!

ah yes the vocal are so much better in this version.. Work the drums sounds up a bit  and it'll really start sounding more pro level. .. I like it.. a nice straight up pop tune.  Sometimes they are the hardest to come up with and pretty much the most competitive genre.. I like the way the vocal were done on this take.. Especially the chorus part,, with the wide stereo split, very nice. 

 What kind of drums are you using?  Live? VSTI?
midi tracks to the drums?   They need a litle work.. with them fixed ,This song would really come alive with even more energy.

Great song, I enjoyed listening to it..Thanks for posting a 2nd version.

I agree with most of the observation already made (this is an improvement over the first version, the drums are still a bit overpowering). I think you could do a little work on the delivery of the verse vocals (work on your breathing....it's not just the autotune, I hear some wavering that sounds uncertain....I say this because the song...with work on the drums and vocals.. otherwise sounds ready for airplay). It has a well-crafted structure, nice hooks, interesting little "eddys" here and there...keep at it and you have a winner I believe!

*What do you mean by "eddys"??
Thank you for that detailed review! I agree with you about the breathing on the first verse - I'm only just noticing it. As for the actual song and lyrics, all the credit should go to Peter  Thank you for listening.

Very Nice and different from you Fais. Drums are a little heavy and drown out the vocals some but overall. By the way, my kids run around the house now sining "Chop Chop Chop it up" and doing a little Karate Chop dance move. In the shower singing "Wash Wash Wash it up"  Playing with paper singing "Cut Cut Cut it up"  You get the idea.  Thanks.    hahahahahahaha

Your lyrics are wrong "Really mean the world to me" is what is said but it reads "really mean that much to me."

This is pleasent to hear, but the auto-tune is way to present and comes across a little cliche. simply due to its growing popularity in the rap circuit and the pop-electronic scene.

very very good man! The way you have all the instruments layered and sitting in the mix is very good. I like the "eddys" and the guitar stuff you had and everything was very cool.
When the lyrics came in for the first verse I was a little bit disapointed, not becuase of over-use of autotune, but I think you just need to practice a bit more. I think you are a good singer, just practice practice practice and Im sure itll come accross more natural and feel much better. Also it seemed that there was too much being said in one stanza or whatever in this first verse...too many lyrics to say? not enough time? i dunno? lol

Then, WHAM the chorus came in...The vox sound freaking excellent in the chorus. I dont know how you did it but THATS how you do it.

ace job
