Title: "Don't" a Hook original
Post by: Hook on October 09, 2013, 05:47:14 PM
A few weeks ago I made three drum tracks one afternoon, one became "I was There" for Bassfest & another brcame my last post "Mix Master". This was written to the 3rd drum track, I used Drumjam for this track. I wrote the tune using smart keys from garageband (rock organ), then I added the ukes, bass, vocals and saxaphone (thumbjam) over the last week or so. Finished it up today.

1- drum track (DJ)
1- rock organ (GB)
1- chorusy rhythm uke
1- distorted tremolo uke
1- bass (real bass this time)
1- 1 schizophrenic tenor sax solo (TJ)
1- lead vocal
2
Don't
written & performed by Hook
background vocals
I don't always know my way
I don't ever know the right things to say
I don't want to start another fight
I don't know how to make things right

You don't, you don't, you don't
Understand me
I don't, I don't, I don't
Know how to make you see

I don't know how to let it go
I don't know how not to let my feelings show

Chorus
We, where is the we
Seems so separate, individual
You then me

I don't want to play these games
I don't want to feel guilt, don't want to feel shame
I don't want to be alone
I don't want this to be just a house it needs to be a home

Chorus
I don't want to see you cry
I don't want to look back and say that we never tried

Wow, this is good bro. Serious hooks in this song, great vocal performance - funky but quite laid back jazz at the same time.
Excellent. Keep pushing that bar higher bro :-)

Lots of cool flavours in this... latin, jazz, disco, and soul. They all add up to a great listen. Really nicely done, and the arrangement / mixing is spot on. Fine work!
