Dance With Me
I thought that I would have a go at trying my hand at a Disco House-style song. When thinking of what the song could be about … I thought back to the very first time I went to a nightclub with a group of friends, and what that felt like … so far as I could remember! The lyrics of the "Outro" are meant to represent the thoughts of the Nightclub itself. This is the first song and accompanying video that I have tried to upload to Youtube. Thanks for listening.
I wrote and recorded this song during one of the periods of Lockdown in the UK. The DAW I used was Logic 8 on a very old Apple Mac G5.
LYRICS:
VERSE 1:
Coming up to midnight,
Feeling all alone.
Quarter after midnight, when we lose control,
Then we’re letting go,
VERSE 2:
Sweet city night, here I am,
Gonna testify,
I’ll Be yours tonight,
PRE-CHORUS:
I’ll be hypnotised, living day and night,
Love the paradise, we make.
CHORUS:
I feel the night, come alive,
When you Dance With Me.
I feel the night, come alive,
When you Dance With Me.
VERSE 3:
Just before the sunrise,
Breathing in the Dawn.
Glowing in the moonlight,
Playing Peek-a-boo,
Getting in the mood,
VERSE 4:
Sweet city night, here I am,
You’re like dynamite,
Diamond in disguise,
PRE-CHORUS:
I’ll be hypnotised, living day and night,
Love the paradise, we make.
CHORUS:
I feel the night, come alive,
When you Dance With Me.
I feel the night, come alive,
When you Dance With Me.
BRIDGE:
Pray for the night,
Prayin’ for the rhythm,
Prayin’ for that music all the time.
Live for the night,
Livin’ for the rhythm,
Prayin’ for that music all the time.
CHORUS:
I feel the night, come alive,
When you Dance With Me.
I feel the night, come alive,
When you Dance With Me,
I feel the night, come alive,
When you Dance With Me.
OUTRO:
All through the night, I come alive, I love the time, when I’m alone with you.
All through the night, I come alive, I love the time, when I’m alone with you.
Great song with a real dance groove to it.
Great work! Spot on vocal. Very Depeche Mode! Really enjoyed this, lots of little touches in the backing arrangement that work really well too.
Well I’m dancing! Tracy’s right…it’s got the DM vibe. I love dancing…think that’s when I’m at my old lady wildest! (Not sure if I’m “like dynamite” lol!)
Nice one Kevin. You certainly nailed that disco vibe
Yes!!! Got me moving for sure. Great arrangement (logic use is great!) and vocals too.
This is good fun. You nailed the disco vibe. What a great performance as well.
You conjure up a disco party atmosphere very skilfully, Kevin. Plenty of energy & bright, pulsing lights. Love your smooth vocals on this.
