Sink

Greetings everyone! Every week I'm enthused and pushed on twice as much as the last by the combination of mind-blowing tracks you are all spinning out and the incredibly cool feedback you're giving. Thank you so much smile


A post-Valentine's Day treat for all you Weekly-Beaters - a tender love song! The concept is more than a little due to the wondrous folks from the Dr. Mindflip band, but I'm still prepared to take responsibility for the tasteful lyrics...


Also had a lot of fun tickling some different keys in response to comments by twistboy and preciouskindred...
Enjoy!



Sink:


Straight in, no kissing
That's what my heart's been missing
Straight in, no kissing
I've been reminiscing bout going straight in
No kissing


Don't gimme no flowers on Valentine's Day
Don't need me no hours of love games
Ain't feeling no watered-down food and a play
You've seen the best
Now take the rest of me
Baby, don't make me say it again
Going straight in


Straight in, no kissing
That's what my heart's been missing
Straight in, no kissing
Leave on that television
Straight in, no kissing


The raven in me just wants to nest in you
These lines are cringey and just plain uncool
Cos we don't need no Michelin-starry gruel to fuel
Our depraved activities
Baby, don't make me say it again
Going straight in
No kissing


Baby don't make me say it again
Going straight in
No kissing

Absolutely love it! I've been waiting for a groovy Pat style like this one! In to the favourites it goes! smile

More great songwriting! I lol'd during the talk down =P

Haha maaan this is lovely! I think mix is pretty good too, sounds very clean to me

Haha the talk-down is great! Lyrics alone had me cheering along.  Yet again really cool keys.  At times this reminded me of the band Apollo Sunshine.  Love your work! smile

Had to come back for another 6 listens! big_smile

haha this tune is hilariously cool.

thank you for humoring my request to hear you playing an electric piano smile great work!

Oh, "SINK", I get it!

Nice mellow keys! Is it me or the voice recording seems to be better than last time? Anyways, fantastic work, as always!

Thank you! And well-observed...I've started to take a little more time and care in recording and mixing the vocals. It's the least I can do!


Thanks so much for the amazing feedback as always folks - I've never been more productive before in my whole life

yeah, there's your talk-over... nice. digit.

Nice.  The keys + flinger clicks are spot on!
