Say You Want Me

Liner Notes

I found myself sitting on this for days, trying to fine tune certain details, rerecord some lyrics and then raise the whole thing up from g min to b min and rerecord everything again, and repeat for eternity. This is the kind of behavior I follow on all other months. I'm not supposed to do that here, and it snuck in on me. Time for a reset. Post FAWM, structure and transition change, rewrite chorus, record real drums and bass and then scrap it 3 months later.

The middle must be rectified, just not sure what to do yet. The bass is still g minor and pitched up. Obviously I'm planning on keeping it.

The chorus seems different in the song than on paper, and it changes the feel of the song. It was supposed to be one person longing for the other person to reciprocate the feelings that they strongly feel. The moment when it switches from crushing hard but enjoying the vibe nonetheless because 'oh wow. this is happening.' Bet then I started hearing a desperate duet after changing on some of the opening chorus words to 'oh' instead of 'how' or 'know'. Of course, it wasn't supposed to have lyrics in the first place and I saw a derailed train and ran with it. #indiepop #pop #synthpop #synth

Lyrics

7th & Main In neon rain You called my name Changed the whole game

Say you want me Say you need me Tell me you can't live without me

Oh I want you And I need you You're the only one I'm into

Say you love me You adore me Kiss me where you Find me sexy

Oh I love you I adore you Promise I will Always be true

Under starlight The dead of night It's my name you sigh My thigh you ride

Say you want me Say you need me Tell me you can't live without me

Oh I want you And I need you You're the only one I'm into

Say you love me You adore me Kiss me where you Find me sexy

Oh I love you I adore you Promise I will Always be true

Oh I love how the synth follows the vocal line in the chorus! I really dig this vibe...reminds me of '80s stuff. 😅 Beautiful piano interlude, too... This is so catchy. I would love to be able to continue to listen to this one.

This all works so well! That beautiful piano break building back into that terrific chorus is amazing. I love this!

This needs more comments! What a tune. Reminds me of some French synth pop. The chorus melody is on point. And then the middle part with the piano makes it special.
