FAWM: "hypocrite"

hypocrite

Liner Notes

this counts as #electropop even though its not super upbeat right??

Lyrics

Sometimes it feels like all or nothing Feast or famine, inconsistency Sometimes it feels like a rollercoaster That I've been strapped to unwillingly

Maybe I'm a hypocrite Who can't choose between boredom and excitement

When the overwhelm sets in I long for simplicity again Chaos passes me by Like I'm in slow motion

Sometimes I feel undervalued under utilized, under paid Curiosity overflows from me And ideas endlessly invade My mind and they’re good too But I’m supposed to stay in my lane Do these monotonous little tasks And go home at the end of the day

Maybe I'm a hypocrite Who can't choose between boredom and excitement

When the boredom sets in I long for excitement again Guess I’ll be dreaming & scheming until I’m ready to leap in Into the cycle again Then when the overwhelm sets in I long for simplicity again Chaos passes me by Like I'm in slow motion

Obsessed with the production of this song like seriouslyyyy dude!! So good!!

Yes this is electro pop - it doesn't need a superfast tempo an driving kick drums (just listen to Alison Moyet's - Sleep Like Breathing). I'm another fan of the intriguing vocal effects, they really seem to have a nice depth.

Great song, performance and production. I can’t add much more to what’s already been said in the comments, but I really like the subtle vocal effect. It sounds like a doubler of some sort, but down an octave or two. It’s perfectly low in the mix - not distracting, but adding some interesting depth. Well done!

This is a well written piece, unsure what genre to call this but who cares it sounds great and thats all that matters. Very well done, love it 🔥

Ooooh there is alot I like about this. I can relate to the mundane job references and smiled big at 'stay in my lane' as that is a saying where I work. Musically I like the flip (and then flop back) in the chorus while the section that feels like a pre-chorus stays the same. Cools sounds and vocal fx.

@nadine 1w

Yes, that's electro pop. Doesn't have to be upbeat all the way. I actually enjoy this chill pace and the subtle electronic drums. Good melody

Great arrangement! Love the timbre of the sample, and its repeating synth. I like couplets with lines of different lengths. That voice: cool, calm, centered, which paradoxically highlights the strength of the feelings being struggled with, while also showing the wisdom of self-insight. Beautiful and sad.

I am amazed at what my fellow fawmers are able to create in just a few days! This is a full fledged pop-hit! Better than most of what passes for it on the radio. Great lyrics. Great delivery and fantastic musical sounds cape! This is art.

I feel this so hard: Sometimes it feels like a rollercoaster That I've been strapped to unwillingly

Your clear resonant vocals are gorgeous, and the message is so relatable. I like when you go into your lower register on the hypocrite refrain. So unexpected and attention grabbing.

yup sure does to me! Love that droney feel. A really interesting lyric and Very classy delivery, lovely vox! production is all class, all the little touches lift it!

@williamjames 1w

Very dreamlike. Has this longing melancholy to it. Maybe this is dreampop? You sound great here. The instrumentation is sparse enough to really let your vocals shine.
