Magnetized

This is the song I wrote and auditioned with for Kollaboration: ATL.

So, all the stuff I record is done using Garageband on my macbook pro. The audio interface I use is a Presonus Firewire Studio mobile. This particular song was recorded in one take, and was accomplishable by using a Digitech JamMan Solo loopstation. My melodica is a Hohner 32 Key Student (or whatever the proper model name is). Personally, I think the Japanese instruments are better (Yamaha, Suzuki). I've played around on a Yamaha and the build quality is just better overall. Oh well, whatever works right?

As for video...I've been using the built-in webcam on my computer, hah. At the moment, good audio > good video with what I can spend, I suppose.

I actually first started writing this song back in freshman year. I'd had some verses scribbled down but nothing quite so song-coherent-ish. Fast forward to now-ish, and I decided auditioning for Kollaboration would be a good motivator for me to finish the song, sooooo yeah.

Well. I think this has been a Friday night, well-spent.

Oh yeah, lyrics, if anyone cares:

Magnetized

One day I’m walking down this lonely street

Who should I meet

Still it’s such a lovely surprise

‘cause though I keep my life left up to chance

I pray for a passing glance

And suddenly I catch your eye

Oh, it’s a strange attraction

I’ve got you in my sights

I don’t wanna pull away

Oh, no hesitation

No doubt in my mind –

I think our eyes are magnetized

We’re talking away and I can’t help but smile

I hope this lasts awhile

My feelings are ignited

I’m really thrilled you thought to consider,

My invitation to dinner,

Makes me so excited

And oh, it’s a strange attraction

A playful touch

Pulls us into the alleyway

And Oh, no hesitation

No doubt in my mind

I think our lips are magnetized

The evening’s over but the night’s about to start

I’ve got to still my beating heart

‘Cause girl you  make me so glad

You’ve got me held in

A spell of anticipation

You’ve been running through my mind

Doing things so bad

And oh, it’s a strange attraction

We’re in each others arms

And never want to pull away

Oh, no hesitation

No doubt in my mind

I think our bodies are magnetized
