Oh Why
I got this idea for a little piano riff in late July and recorded the piano a guide vocals in early August. I had Aeron Z Jones staying for a week in early august and we finished it off.
Originally, the vocals were just place marks and were going to be replaced by the real lyrics, but they stuck and didn’t require changing – I thought I’d trust my subconscious!
The song is about someone who has done something very wrong and now has to leave.
Apologies for the video. This is what happens when you start filming without a plan! 😂
Love that Ervin.
The lyric works just fine. The Oh Why line is haunting as is the the keyboard sounds which all those great delays and reflections bouncing around the stereo. Nice one 👌😁
Few typo’s there sorry🙏
Really love this keyboards are brilliant and guitar too
I enjoyed this Ervin. Love the piano riff and all the effects – the way it builds at the end is great too!
Very atmospheric and intriguing. It would make an excellent theme for a TV mystery drama.
That’s quite a recording set up yo have there! The piano riff is really haunting and catchy and then over it the song builds really nicely. I agree with Paul Fincken this would make a great TV mystery drama theme
Totally enjoyable Ervin – the production really adds to your song. Well done!
I Liked that, Ervin. the riff really set the song off and we have all had that ‘oh why’ feeling – great – The video didn’t matter, great set up though – I have enough trouble just posting with doing a video and trying to put the song over it (look complicated). Anyway, well done.
Very good that Ervin. Love the haunting melody, which really drew me in, and I think the lyrics are a good fit too. Love it!
Loving that Ervin. Good lyric, haunting piano throughout and that little guitar break – ooh lovely. Nice build up at the end
Really like the piano motif, the production, melody and build. Good song.
I really like the “oh why” I think it’s tempting to pack lyrics in but giving a bit a space for repetition works really well. Love the piano motif and gorgeous production very atmospheric.
There are so many things to like about this Ervin. Some great melodic and instrumental hooks. The production is first class and the harmonies are lovely. Liked the orchestral stabs at the end too.
As commented on FB, love this Ervin.
A lovely piece of work Ervin. Working with Aeron is such a treat and it’s so good to hear such a good song
Enjoyed that Ervin.
