Hi, I am looking for strong soulful vocals for a groovy 140 bpm dance song. I have lyrics and my suggestion for a vocal interpretation. I am excited and looking forward to find you and your voice, bringing my song to shine.
About Mood and Lyrics
Though the lyrics are about challenges and obstacles of life, the mood should express willingness to fight and step forward with power and confidence.
I am no native speaker and open for little changes in lyrics if something sounds odd.
I appreciate to get a short demo to get an impression how your voice sounds on my material, you don’t need to invest too much time and the demo can be some short improvisation with your own line and lyrics.
About Vocal Lines
In each part, the same chord progression pattern is repeated and my vocal lines from the Audio Brief can be seen as different possible variants over the same pattern.
I am open to slightly adjust the pitch of the song. However, some instruments are sample based and cannot be shift to far without noise artefacts. For my voice recording I had a female mid range in mind, while it was rather high for my voice range or I sang one octave below.
I appreciate to fit the melody to the vocalists comfort, but it should be similar and not sound completely different.
Production
I will record bass guitar once the pitch is defined and the song will get some sound engineering polish and final mastering.

Lyrics
VERSE 1:
Yet another day on this stoney way
No sight ahead and sleepless tumbling
Yet another day and you start to sway
polite as usual restless stumbling
Yet another day and your mind turns grey
and rocks around start rumbling crumbling
VERSE 2:
Yet another thrill on your To Do's bill
Keep hunting for ya deep satisfaction
Yet another pill let the boredom kill
Keep blunting in this sweet distraction
Yet another lap in the same old trap
Keep spinning in the same engraved reaction
BRIDGE:
You ask for what you live - and why you only give
Is anything around – a big surprise
to be astound - not to loose your ground
Something to amaze - the nothing that you chase
yet your shadow stays - on too many ways
CHORUS:
Told to follow the rules - and always keep cool
Told to be good – the lot that you could - be – you don't see
You are free – use your key
You gotta dive into deepest sea
You're allowed - getting proud
anyhow - life is now
