Challenge: MIXED EMOTIONS

Liner Notes

#mixedemotions #challenge #singersongwriter #acoustic #guitar #piano I often do it: pairing a heavy or negative subject with a cheerful, danceable track. But I don't think I’ve ever tried it the other way around: putting very positive lyrics into a heavy, minor melody. Don't know what to think of it. Melancholy? Romantic? The result feels a bit Jaques Brell meets Nick Cave. Anyway, thank you for the challenge. https://fawm.org/challenge/29 Podsafe Audio https://studio273.bandcamp.com/track/whats-not-to-like-about-you-w3

Lyrics

Your whole appearance a dream come true You’re quite something What's not to like about you?

So much goodness is coming through You’re kind, you care What's not to like about you? What’s not to like about you?

Sometimes you fight sometimes you bend you always find your way again

Your intelligence, everything you do you’re so devoted What's not to like about you?

You stand your ground a heart so true You’re pure, you shine What's not to like about you? What’s not to like about you?

Sometimes you fight sometimes you bend you always find your way again

You drew me in with that guitar picking, and then your lyrics kept me so captivated throughout, beautiful way to describe your mixed emotions :) I know I have said this before, Max, you ROCK!

Not only did you nail the challenge, but this is a really beautiful piece.

This is the perfect example of mixed emotions. The haunting vocals coupled with the fast paced minor picking melody give the song an edgy yet compelling feel. Nicely done!
