Liner Notes

@kristian: Back to the synths and what I listen too and the music that inspired my youth. Thanks to @deena as always for being awesome. The mix is a bit boxy for some reason; but gotta more forwards as I'm already falling behind hehe

@deena: It's always a huge highlight of fawm when I get to collaborate with @kristian!!! All I can say is WOW! There's so much to thrill to in his shimmery sounds!

Lyrics

need a little sunshine need a little starlight need a little time to just be free need a little upside need a little good vibe need a little time for you and me

people try to bring you down people try to push you round they’ll toss you like a leaf into the breeze

the world’s gone wrong tumbling into a bad scene we gotta be strong and turn it around everybody needs what we all need

need a little love time need a little moonlight and some time to be alone need a little outside need a little peace time and a place to be at home

people try to bring you down people try to push you round they’ll toss you like a leaf into the breeze

the world’s gone wrong tumbling into a bad scene we gotta be strong and turn it around cause everybody needs what we all need

Killer 80s vibe! The drums and synths are so tasty! The bridge chord progression was great with a little extra climbing edge, and the whole production was head-noddingly catchy! I’m here for all of this!

It's not FAWM if there's no kristian and deena track! So infectious, especially like those stabby synth pads with the repeating top note. I had a little giggle at the big tom fills. Really interesting how the chorus (if it is indeed the chorus) is the least poppy part of the track, but I think it works really well.

This is absolutely dope! I love this. It makes me very happy, too, to hear something inspirational; something feel-goody. Quite honestly the protest tunes abounding are understandable but have been a major double drag for me. THIS, however, is what I remember FAWM for. And it’s so good to hear it again. By the way, can a brother get a download of this one?

@deena 6d

Thanks so much!!! Just enabled downloading. Honored that you want it in your collections!!!

Yes, there's the cream I was waiting for. You guys have me bouncing my head in my car. I'm parked, don't freak out.

Ooooo the key change for the chorus is siiiiick!

i love it when a song puts you in a good mood without ignoring the reality that things sometimes suck. the music alone is enough to make me forget about the bad stuff for awhile..

@ddd 1w

This is so well put together with a great flow, always moving! Had me bouncing my head immediately. A very fun listen!

@jonmeta 1w

Deena, you have an uncanny sense of melody, of knowing just where the line needs to go, just how to keep pulling me along with what you're singing, and nodding happily to the beat. You never put a melodic foot wrong. Love this whole vibe, how the synths move from rhythmic and angular to smooth and sensuous at just the right points. I especially like the harmonic changes on the "world's gone wrong" chorus. This is such a sweet collab.

@nadine 1w

I'm always happy when you two collab. You create another great 80s bop. I especially enjoyed the chord structure

@val 1w

Perfect 80s vibe. It feels like I’m in the car with all my friends headed home from school and listening to the radio. And I love the lyrical theme. I really do need some good, peaceful home time.
