Title: Grey room by Michel , kenny mac, feat piavi
Post by: kenny mac on January 14, 2024, 08:58:26 AM
We are almost finished the vincent drake album under our 60 light years band, I recorded this originally as a solo male vocal but felt it needed piavi on it.
The storyline fitted better as well.
She did a fantastic job .
Hook is going to narrate again so we are almost done.







Crash...the sound of my world
slipping out through the door

Smash....the sound of my heart
 of glass when it hits the floor.

Boom the sound of his words
Firing like a gun.

Blast.... the heat from it all
Scorches me like a sun.

And this grey room
l,ll  light it up again
I'll light it up again
And this grey room
I'll fill it again with love
I'll light it up again.
I'll light it up again.
This grey room
I'll fill it again with love.

I'll light it up again.
I'll light it up again.
This grey room
I'll fill it again with love

(Kenny singing)
Now you're walking
In the door
Lights pulsating
On the floor
You start moving to the groove
Heads start turning to see you move.
____________________
Life....im living again
I'm  moving inside his zone

Love....I'm  laughing again
And now I am  not alone.

Smile.... he's shaking his head
Hès looking into my eyes

 And this grey room
I'll light it up again
I'll light it up again
And this grey room
I'll fill it again with love

I'll light it up again

I'll light it up again

And this grey room

I'll fill it again with love

I'll light it up again
I'll light it up again
And this grey room
I'll fill it again with love



I'll light it up again
I'll light it up again
And this grey room
I'll fill it again with love

Brilliant song Kenny, I love the sound you and Michel have together, Very 80's with hints of your influences coming through but without being too obvious. Great idea to duet with Piavi, she sounds really good.

Defo eighties vibe, but a great collab with excellent performance and production.
Really enjoyed the listen!!

Strong 80s vibe! Great choice for the 2023 Sampler.

Stellar collection of talents on display here - I love the call-and-response vocal style between Päivi and Kenny. Solid synth backing from Michel, and a tasteful ending guitar solo.

I meant to comment this earlier but couldn't get it done. I was taking care of my old father. He was in bad shape already and then got covid. He died in February. So. Hard start to a year.
 But thanks Kenny for asking me to sing this wonderful song. I heard a James Bond-vibe and tried to sing with that kind of style. Your vocals are superb and message of the song is important. Sometimes life is hard and things going bad but there is a chance for a new start. Like we say in Finland: Sun is shining even to mass of dry twigs. ;D

What a fantastic song.  Brilliantly performed - as expected given the talent!   :D

The production is exemplary.

Brilliant production and performances. That gated snare along with the sequencer put me in some late eighties movie. Cool appearance of that slide guitar.

I love the variety on this site.

Bloody hell! What a vocal from Päivi. This is a monster of a song: Simple-Minds in their stadium phase. Amazing writing, production and performances all round.
