FAWM: "Winning Formula"

Winning Formula

Liner Notes

When @cindyrella challenges you to put music to her lyrics, you better be ready to do it. Simple as that. I'm really enjoying playing and singing some rock stuff. It really stretches out your vocal chords. Again, this is another @cindyrella lyric that pretty much writes itself. A lot of fun was had :) #rock #funkyrock #groovyrock

Lyrics

V1 From the start You revved up my engine My body reacted More than I could say You raced my heart With top speed From that first moment My body gave way

V2 It was so fast Like a race of high speed I couldn't hold back The passion I felt I jumped in Right by your side Somehow I knew There'd be no safety belt

Chorus It's a winning formula A symphony orchestra The perfect mix so fast and good It's a choice recipe And it's oh so heavenly My needed fix and it's understood

Solo (V)

Bridge I wanna zoom Just got to soar Never knew love Like this before

V3 I never fell So deep or quickly I felt so crazy It had to be In a whirlwind I am in deep Can't think anymore With this intensity

Repeat chorus

Wow you the new Bon Jovi rocking this number! Love it the vocals are so passionate Nice Collab!

Rocking! Great energy, you grabbed all the power of the lyric and supercharged it. Some cool chord choices, nice job getting what works with more common movements, and then to break expectations as well. Opening with vocal and then a full punch in was perfect. Get us moving right away I also love that bridge, I would have stuck around for a 20 second solo there no question. Stellar vocal performance, lots of gusto and right on the pocket.

Excellent writing, Cindy! One of the highest compliments I can give is that a lyric is "song-able" right off the page. This definitely is one of those. 👍

Hoo boy! What a collab, I love your treatment of these fun lyrics. Gorgeous vocals and guitar, coupled with clever word play - such a winning formula!

Oh this is so wonderful and really brings these lyrics alive with your toe tapping dance vibe. Love the double bridge leading to the crescendo on the stretched out word "before" (and the similar build up at the very end with the hard stop). Great guitar solo too, -so well done - both of you!
